Hi Sifus,

Is the following quotation reasonable (for 1,600 sq ft)?

RM6,400 (@RM4.00 per sq ft)
To supply and install 12mm thk fibrous plaster board, jointing and finishing to give a flush seamless surface ready for decoration on concealed G.I support system to the approval of employer.

RM4,800 (@RM3.00 per sq ft) - painting of plaster ceiling
To supply and apply 1 coat of sealer and 2 coats of selected "Jotun" or equivalent glossy paint in selected colors (based on ID Designer / Client selection) and all works shall include surface preparation to receive paint.

is the painting overkill since 2 coats of glossy pain after the sealer?

TS,
1st item sounds reasonable.
as for 2nd items, do you need glossy on plaster board?

For such big area of plaster ceiling can nego to RM3 per square feet

not really, but is the price reasonable if i were to choose glossy paint?

somemore i thought usually rate is around 3.50 including painting white

for plaster ceiling i think its ok. but possibly can get lower.

for me, painting seems a bit expensive. also, you dont need some super paint for the plaster ceiling. no one gonna be touching it. can get the cheapo stuff. just get a decent sealant. i think most use dolphin.

1. can nego for lower since 1600sqft is quite big
2. actually just paint with Matex can already no need fancy fancy colours.

usually if flush design and painting how much?

RM4 per sqft is quite expensive.

I just did mine for RM2.80 per sqft. Puchong area.
900 sqft for RM2,500

yours including painting?

was charged rm2.80 for plain board (using sirim approved uniplaster board), rm14 for L-Box..Painting labour cost me rm400 for 1000 sqft exclude paint (I bought nippon perfect white rm230)

L Box RM14 per sqf?

Same here!

hows the workmanship? can provide the contact? need it since my unit in puchong too..

appreciate can share contact as well.

i have a new condo as well, but i just want to do plaster ceiling in living n dining area only (approx 500 sqft or less).

I requested quote from few people, cheapest is RM3/sqft excl paint...and some dont even want to do business because they said too small project =.=

Call Chai 017 -336 2886 for free quotation .

I got RM2.50 for flat and RM9.00 for L box, exclude painting..

L Box is count by per foot run.

Hi Soon Yee,

Was the workmanship good?
And does he have a team of workers who can take care of larger projects?

Thanks

That is very competitive. If the workmanship was good and the contractor reliable, would you mind sharing the contact details?

RM 3.20-3.80 is consider ok price.

If RM 2.50 , few things need to be concern.

1)With this price, and his workmanship is good and reliable and honest.

Normally his job will be fully booked for 3-5months. If with this price also very free to take the job anytimes....Must be something "heehee

2)How much space/gap that he use to do the framing structure?

It can be 2ft(Normal RM 3.0-3.5. For 1600sqft, can go to 3.0-3.1) to 4ft(the worst I had seen) of course the wider the cost is lesser and the strength of the plaster ceiling is weak .

*just my 2 cents, it doesn't represent to the market sounds
