If cost savings are among your concern, I will suggest better settle for existing houses.

If you want to build yourself, there's tonnes of other costs than construction cost itself. Professional fees, land title change, premiums, submission fees, contribution fees (local council/water supply/sewerage/telekom/TNB) and many more you can and cannot think about.

Its not cost effective.

100k a fairy basic design and materials for 3 rooms n 2 bath.

Professional fees (architect/engineer/QS and so) typically take up to 10% of project cost.

And 10k is too little to get it done I will say.

10% is a lot lower than I thought it would be

I mean for general scale project, it’s 10%.

But now your estimated costing is 100-300k, and 10% of it certainly isn’t enough to do much.
