Hi, we had few team worker.
All is local worker.
We had done many forumer s' house from here.

please share the forumer name if you are allowed.

RM 4.00 is pretty expensive for 1600sf. you can ask for other quotation. I would say starting price is RM 2.80.

Hi TS

By right, any paint work starts with 1 undercoat and 2 coats of paints. At least that's how I do it. Maybe other painters have other skills as well

But the thought of have glossy paint for ceiling? I've never done it before as i think it's a bit risky if the ceiling works are not properly done or need touch-up. I don't mind the joining, but I think you better make sure all the holes/wiring needed for lightings/fan are done (but not yet installed) before the painting starts, cause once the ceiling needs paint touch up, the result might disappoint you. But i'm sure you hired a good ID/contractor so share us the photos once it's done ya

what is a reasonable price for normal matt paint (1 undercoat and 2 coats of paint)?

Normal matt paint is called emulsion (water based). For apartments/condos/terrace houses, here's how they normally charge you

1. By labor charge
RM100-RM150 per skilled person per day (excluding paint & related paint gears)
*note: hiring a general worker might be cheaper though

2. Lum-sum
RM3.5K to RM4K for a complete whole house ceiling & wall interior painting works below 1500sqft (depends on brand & wall/ceiling condition, excluding doors)
*note: main-con charges

This is pretty standard for residential paint job. For commercial, price may slightly be higher about 10-20% more cause you know-lah, they need to pay parking, floor covers, expensive food etc. Overall prices can be cheaper or higher depends on who you dealing with

anyone know the price different between 10 mm and 12 mm fibrous board?

I got rm 1.50 per sqft

1.5psf for wat how big the area, flat plaster ceiling only? KL?

How do we calculate this? Say RM15/fr.

Living hall area to do is 18 X 16..

Thanks.

For L-box, It's counted based on the length of the "L" shape structure used. I'm not sure whether you're using L-box.

Ts, if rm 4 for board thinness more or equal to 8mm and above then it should be fine. Looking at ur covering area are big, surely u should nego to around rm3~5. If u orang kaya then tutup mata sajalah.

On painting, no need glossy paint for ceiling, trust me,it will look funny or awkward.1 layer of coating and 1 layer of high ent paint will and looks perfect edi. Save the glossy one for ur wall.

During my time, i had done some skim coating due to my unit wall are wavvy and uneven (developer contractor sucks!),paint the whole unit for 3k only. Covering 1000sqft

Pm me if u want my contractor contact. Super reliable person and good workmanship.

Plastrr ceiling contractor normally have it. Charge for rm80 to open 1 hole.

Yes, L-box as u mentioned earlier, L-box is based on foot run.. So how do u calculate it based on that size?

Let's say your 18x16 living hall, u do L-box on all 4 sides. The total length of L-box is 18+18+16+16-(overlap length) X RMx/foot run.

Thanks, bro.

Now I know how to calculate d.. 👍👍

Planning to do for living room, family area and master bedroom. U know any good contractor?

Oh, I don't have coz my ceiling was handled by my ID.

Ok, thanks.

Mind to pm contact? Any reviews especially on the workmanship. Appreciate & thanks.
