I've drafted 2 layouts for you. Hope it helps you.
Draft 1: relocate bath 2, add a new wet kitchen
Draft 2: relocate bedroom 2, extend the bathroom and demolish the wall between kitchen and existing bedroom 2

Thanks bro notworthy.gif

It's better to ask your neighbours who and how they got their approval permit for the extension.

Haha better mind my own business. If anything happen, later they thought it is me who complained. far neighbour la, not direct.

Finally met with my contractor to discuss on the reno stuffs. The catch is, he said I need to apply permit on my own. Anyone has experience applying permit as an owner? What document that I need to bring? Many thanks

Find runner to do it or you personally go to the Majlis bandaraya to ask for their architect panel. S&P, Geran, cukai pintu, cukai tanah, and a copy of IC these documents needed if not mistaken.

Thank you, I will go there in this few days and ask.

went to an arhictect recommended by my contractor to apply for permit. Total all in is RM2800, is this a fair price?

Docs needed are like what bro Daren mentioned: Photocopy of IC, geran tanah, borang F, cukai taksiran and drawing in S&P

The price is reasonable if all in with deposit, processing fees, roro bin and CCC? it seems to me that your renovation didn't involve engineer drawing
*
Without roro bin. CCC is Borang F? Already have borang F given by developer. Yeah no engineer drawing. I think the company is more of a consultant, not an architect.

Another thing to ask, is it safe to make full payment to the consultant during signing the documents? What is the standard practice ya? Let's say the application failed, usually will the consultant reapply or the money just gone like that?

Some questions sound silly, but better I ask here than being given an unfair deal later. Thanks

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 😁

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

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

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.

What exactly is the unit ela when buying sands, stones from hardware store? 1 ela is equivalent to how many cubic feet or cubic meter in volume?
