Hi sifus,
Embarking on the next stage of my life... and recently received keys for my "brand new" 40-year old house. It is a 24x75 double-storey link house. I hope this will be my dream home for the next 20-30 years at least and wish to obtain some guidance on my reno journey...
Still at a very early stage... looking to be an extremely daunting task not just on my pocket.
Guidance used:
Below are floor plan, details & budget:
1. Floor Plan
[attachmentid=5153723][attachmentid=5153760]
2. Budget (current): RM300k - Not rushing to renovate, if what I'm asking below is too much I'll wait / save money first
3. What I hope to achieve with above budget:
1. Extension (per attached plan - red arrows)
2. Ground floor - retile (hacking the terrazo + tiling)
3. 1st floor - change from parquet to something like laminated flooring which I believe to be cheapest for "wood-feel flooring"
4. Plaster ceiling (both floors)
5. Repainting
6. Bathrooms - retile, change all the hardware
7. First floor bathrooms (Bath 3)- split into two, one for each room.
8. Grills
9. Lighting, fans, air con
10. Possible rewiring (due to age of property) - including adding socket points, concealing wiring
11. Possible repairs... don't anticipate much since I'm basically redoing big chunks of the house... roof maybe
12. Other hidden costs / things I missed out?
13. (edit) solar panel for water heater
4. Problems
1. Ground floor - currently the bathroom is venting out into the Yard (circled) which is really a glorified indoor garden - if I close it up (ie extend the dining area) what's the best way to ventilate the bathroom?
2 & 3. First floor - same problem as ground floor bathroom. Maybe bathroom 3 can be extended all the way to the back together with the rooms, then it will be no issue. For bathroom 2, the extension will surround it leaving no space to ventilate.
Is there anything I missed out? Basically, am trying to get those big-hassle items out of the way first. Will be engaging a few contractors for pricing (please share if you do know of any) and update.
Will try and add pictures soon.
Congratz to you on having a nice plan to renovate your house, but it seem like didn't have an actual plan to run it. Do you need any consult from ID company? I can recommend a company for you since they renovated my neighbor's house nicely. If you need it just pm me, i will ask the ID company's contact from my neighbor. ^^Embarking on the next stage of my life... and recently received keys for my "brand new" 40-year old house.
