Relevel it? or skimming it

How to level it? Using file can be done? Already hardened wor

There are a few ways to smoothen or file hardened concrete without using power tools. One option is to use a trowel to level out the surface. You can use a SikaQuick concrete resurfacer or an abrasive stone to sand down the surface gradually. If possible, pls send some photos here so we can have a quick discussion. Thanks 😁

Pm contractor pls

hi there, recently engaged a one stop design + reno firm and got a quotation that went above my budget (and they are not really budging on the price unfortunately)
just wanted to do a sanity check by just taking one item out of the quote to see if it's above market rate cause this is my first time doing a house reno

shoe cabinet: melamine finish, swing doors with soft closing hinges, measurements: 2700mm (W) x 600mm (D) x 850mm (H)
cost: RM9,500 inclusive of design, production and installation

would be super helpful if there's any sifus here that can advice if this pricing is reasonable?

thanks!

Looks like this, bottom of concrete countertop near the cabinet door. Somehow overlooked this when checking the work. Side view and bottom view.

Pm done

Slightly on high pricing. Try to negotiate abit

Use a chisel to remove some, then use Davco Colour Cement to fill and smoothen it.

Thanks, I will try it

If i want to extend second story maybe additional space of 2000sq ft on top of car porch, what should be the things to be taken into consideration?

Few things you need to be considered. First is structural/foundation of the building. Secondly is the requirement by your local authority then materials and specifications. Last is the cost and timeline.

May i know roughly how much will be the cost?

The cost can vary depending on the material, design, and how complex it is. Since it is 2000 sqft, which is similar to building a single-storey landed property, the price can range from 360k to 500k for basic design and build

Project update:


Bedroom 1





Shared bathroom





Balcony

The surface at the back of the mirror is uneven, partly tiled and partly painted cement. Any idea how to make it look nicer? Fill up with white cement? TIA

You can try horizontal slat wall secure at cement wall then extend until same level as bottom mosaic surface then mirror partial secure on horizontal wood slat wall and partial secure on mosaic , you can try Google horizontal/vertical slat wall for more idea.

Thanks, will be one of my option.
