Why not use all downlight?

I find it hard to start discussion with potential contractor before VP. I need pictures n visually inspect the actual unit to come out with ideas. I would most likely do after get keys.

Downlights will give brightness but not cozy feeling.
When I need cozy warm feeling, I switch on spotlights.
When I need full brightness, I switch on downlights.

Well that’s my opinion. Different people different one la.

How much u spent for this reno?

100k enough?

More or less you will know...

Plaster ceiling (if you plan to do), the estimate size can get from layout.

Electrical points, most of electricians will need to know total points to add in order to quote.

Carpentry (kitchen & wardrobe), you may mail your layout to carpentry companies, with your idea (pictures from internet), or they will design & quote you.

That’s how I did...

Not enough

Do your contractor covers Shah Alam U16 ?

How much u spent?

Got extension?

reno itself or everything including fittings and furnitures?

No extension. Got demolish & wall built up.
About 120K++ & still counting, everything all in...

I plan just use IKEA floor uplight for the cost feel next time.

My SPA drawing is hopeless one

Wow. Even a simple Reno like this is so expensive ya. Haihz.

wa...
im planning to do reno..but haven get keys yet...

extension, wall build up & 4 toilet refurbish...
not sure how much is it..

Why refurbish toilet?

Depends how you want it to be.
Cost can be reduced for those fitting items.

Just don’t cut cost for wet works, wiring, plumbing.
You won’t know what you get if pay cheap for these.

You have 3 months tax free period, luckier than me.
So purchase or order any fittings or appliances or furniture in advance.

subssales ma...house around ~ 10 years
hygiene purpose.
everything change...inclusive of piping as well..
btw i saw u use the hot cold switch for rain shower...not sure if the switch rosak will be it be hard to change or fix?
i planning for these two...conceal or those pipe on the outside one..

I see... gonna cost a lot to refurbish bathroom.

Be it surface or concealed type, both the incoming hot (solar) & cold water piping are concealed.
So both facing the same risk of piping issues.

Surface type easier maintenance if the fittings problem.
Concealed type if problem then have to hack. Hopefully mine is ok.
Depends on individual preference.

Where is your house location?

mine at shah alam..haha..
yeah..wat choosing these two..i think i will go for not conceal switch...as least one less headache if the switch rosak.
10k per bathroom is it enough inclusive all?

Should be enough gua, depends how "luxury" you want it to be.
If you're not planning to change all the tiles, will be much cheaper.
Try get 2 quotes from wet works, one includes tiles, one without (you purchase yourself).
For tiles, you may try go Buimaco Subang Jaya look for James.

For bathroom fittings, you may search around. I got mine at Jalan Ipoh.
Alternatively, look for Zean at Builders Hardware Kepong, they carry few brands at very good price.

not luxury i would say...jz a decent tiles around rm10-20 each should ok...
thanks..i will ask my contractor to quote it differently...
jz headache now how much i need to fork it out..haha.
any idea how much is the kitchen extension?

I got 300mm x 600mm feruni tile at the range of RM8~RM13 each.

No idea on extension, mine didn't involve piling works.
