I love these kind of threads.

Subscribed. All the best

Thank you.

These are a lot of work for RM50k.

Yes, thats why we sacrifice some area such as simple table top, front area/ porch skipped reuse windows grill because of limited budget

could go for all wet works first.. you may further enhance in future once u have extra budget to do other stuffs..

cabinets + expensive door grill can do at last or add-on whenever needed... plan out all your wiring layout first which you could use in future.. such as CCTV, automatic gate motor, extra plug points for decoration lighting (raya/deepavali/cny/xmas)

Yup, thank you for your input. Planned my wiring, hopefully enough including 3 cctv point and 1 pressure washer point. For automatic gate, will do when doing front area renovation next time.

Edit, when I check on your thread... Damn forgot about router + modem point.

Myself will add master plug (they called it double pole).. when I turn this master plug and it will off all switches.. especially TV cabinet there. TV, astro, speaker, or any other things per your usage. But must exclude your wireless phone charger, router and modem. Which you need to highlight it first..
