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

Where to buy the manhole cover for plaster ceiling? Went a few hardware shop cannot get.

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.

I would like to remove the dome as shown in pic due to it unfit to the fan I bought. Is it hard to remove and will it effect the alignment or other part of the plaster ceiling ? My contractor said it is easy, but my friend it will have big impact to the whole living room plaster ceiling = =

Anyone can advice !!


Attached thumbnail(s)

Your friend is lying. The contractor know what he's doing.

Hi, can I ask here whether the quotation below is reasonable.

Flat plaster ceiling with curtain pelmet
Size room 10 ft x 11 ft
Existing wiring 2 lights and 1 fan hook change to 4 units downlight and one fan.

RM886 for all.

Is it reasonable?

Lump sum

My upper unit's water leaking caused partial of my bathroom plaster ceiling damanged (around 15 sqf only).

The water leaking is fixed now but the upper unit owner told me that he could not find a affordable contractor for fixing my plaster ceiling. The ones he contacted quoted him RM800 (!!). He asks if I could get cheaper alternatives.

Any recommendation for such a small task on plaster ceiling? From my understanding the damaged part has to be cut off and replaced with a new one.
