Hi everyone house renovation newbie here, I come from Melaka and I found that lowyat got very few thread about renovation cost for Melaka house owner, that why I was thinking to share my quotation list here for you guys see, compare and discuss.

So, my house was a second hand 2-storey house with a dimension of 16'x60', actual living space only 16'x40', front 16'x15' is car porch no balcony, back 16'x5' is "indah water hole" area, so a lot of things need to do.Last week I got my quotation from the contractor and the contractor was asking for around RM80k, here the self-drawing house plan brows.gif 

[attachmentid=8881391]

here is the list they give:

1.    building and extension

        -build front balcony(16'x15')
-back house extend(16'x5',including upper & lower floor), lower floor is for kitchen area and upper floor for bedroom extension.  

(Note: They will call mixer truck and crane) blink.gif

2.   electric/wiring part:

-48 led light bulb point (for both upper & lower floor, led light bulb not included)
-20 plug (for upper & lower floor)
-4 electric point for fan (fan not included)
-2 electric point for hot shower machine (upper & lower floor)
-1 cable for auto gate(gate not included as well)

        (Note: They say need around 10k for whole house wiring) blink.gif

3.   plumbing part

-2 toilet renovation (upper and lower floor)
-add 2 water point for balcony & car porch
-kitchen

(Note: All plumbing accessories not included)

4.   tiling part

-bathroom (upper & lower) (dimension:2'x1', type: not specified)

-upper floor & stair(dimension: not specified, type: vinyl flooring)

5.    plastering part

-car porch
-upper floor and lower floor

6.    total 6 metal door with metal door frame

-1 for back house kitchen area
-2 for bathrooms (upper & lower floor)
-3 for bedrooms

(Note: They say door around RM500 each (door + frame) )

7.    ici paint whole house (interior & exterior)

After all this, what did you guys think about the quotation price? Is it reasonable or not?  confused.gif

*
Mind sharing who is the contractor? PM also can, just to know whether same person or not.

I did mine about 2 years ago, also about the same amount of money. Seems reasonable if you ask me, but they will ask for more money if you have extra request, trust me, you WILL have extra request.

1. building and extension

Just did kitchen extend and switch kitchen back into a room
Granite kitchen table top
Plaster ceiling
Turn the window into a full glass sliding door in master room sealed an existing door to the balcony

2. electric/wiring part:

use back all existing point
38 LED bulbs point
Alarm wiring
added points in kitchen
reused point in bathrooms
changed all switches to new

total about 4k+ i think cos charge separately, the 1st wireman screwed up and run away, 2nd one finish the job



3. plumbing part

fully renovated 3 bathrooms
kitchen plumbing

(Note: All plumbing accessories not included)

4. tiling part

retiled living room floor with 2x2, kitchen, bathrooms up to plaster ceiling level

5. plastering part

-upper floor and lower floor

6. door

-1 security door for back house kitchen area
-powder coated metal door for sliding glass door
- powder coated window
- change all flap windows


7. got a friend to intro a painter saved about 2k but regret till now (interior & exterior), he did a shitty job

Note to take:

they install the grill on the windows without proper drilling e.g. strait drive the screws into the tiles and walls damaging them in the process
they messed up the granite top by using the leftover tiles at the bottom of the granite top so very ugly patches, ask them to retile FOC

Yeah...during the first time on-site inspection, the contractor say only the wiring roughly need 10k,  blink.gif  cuz they say they will tear down all the old wire, then install all the new wire from upper floor ceiling until lower floor, all the wire will install neatly and will not been seen. After hear that number, pening kepala rclxub.gif

Suggest another contractor to quote. If you have time to manage this people, then get separate people who are expert in their field to quote eg contractors to the extension and tiling, electrician do their electrical stuff, painters do theirs etc etc.
If you get one contractors to handle all, they will definitely top up some charges for their time to manage all these people.

but if you think about it, all the time u manage to save, single point of contact, and they know each other style, easier to communicate
unless TS really free la
