Hi all,

This is questions from first time buyer and hope to get opinions from experienced persob.

If purchase bare units from developer, what are the expected cost of additional works for it?

Thanks for sharing.

it all depends on the size of your unit,

what you want done and

the quality of the finishes.

for a 800sq ft unit you can get by with 15k for bare bones kitchen, living room and bedrooms furnishing.

it can go all the way to as much as you can afford if you max out on quality

How about for 650sqft (2 bedrooms + 1 bathroom)? RM30K enough for renovation (including plaster ceiling living+kitchen+bedroom, kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, furniture & electric appliances)?

It depends on quality and material you want to use.
Buy those ready made wardrobe, furniture, kitchen sink etc are cheaper than custom made one.

30K is doable for basic.

I prefer customs made.. perfectly fit for my unit

Custom made is costly nowadays, due to labour cost primary, and quality sometimes worst than pre-made, my experience.
Good only is it fit exactly to your room dimension.

It is important to engage with the good contractor who can provide good workmanship & quality material product.

It is like "lottery" to find good workmanship nowadays. Those really good one either quite old or pass away already, left not many in the market.

Is plaster ceiling a must?
- My new bare unit is w/o plaster ceiling .. because its NEW

Kitchen Cabinet?
- Just get the basic one first such as counter top and appliances : fridge, stove and/or hood, microwave / oven toaster

Wardrobe
- Can get the cheaper set if budget is a concerned or custom made which is what I did for certain bedroom items

Furniture
- Can get from Ikea is most item is suitable for small living space or just get it cheap from set items outside

Electric appliances
- Depending on brand, you can adjust to your liking but average per items is not cheap. Although some item can be purchased later on such as washing machine

Plaster ceiling
- Still the need even for brand new unit, the decoration+lighting is definitely make ur unit different ambiance.

Kitchen cabinet
- Only those does not like to cook will just get the basic stuff.. Kitchen cabinet is the most importance element of the entire unit 😉
