HI, Starling is GnG? As I saw in their website only mentioned 'guarded'.
I've booked a unit few weeks back for Phase 4 (type D), but under waiting list since all sold out few months back.

Hi guys, anyone can share some insight regarding debris bin? Is it compulsory to get 2 bins if our house sqft exceed 1000?

Question 2: How much is typical post renovation cleaning service?

Q1: it doesn't really tie to the house size. It tie to ur SoW. Depends on what will be hacked out. In my condo almost everyone here is 1200sf or bigger and they only use 1 bin. Unless you also plan to throw our bulky old sofas too. Anyhow bin tull already still can order a 2nd load. No issue.

Q2. Can be just the price of one vacuum cleaner if DIY. Sand and other big stones can sweep. Bur vac will condemn with the fine dust.

When you mentioned compulsory, is it because of MC JMB requirements ? Otherwise 1 will do. Having 2 also you need space to place it. Your contractor will advise.

Normally suppliers/contractors will be responsible for the disposal after completion and is included in the reno cost, unless otherwise agreed prior.

You can engage someone to clean. Pay her 100 or more if is very dirty and you provide materials. Many now looking for work, locals and foreigners. If you are worried of covid, then diy.

thanks for the advice, reason for me to ask is because my ID quote me RM 1000 for 2 bin and RM 1200 for a post renovation cleaning service.

Smallest roro bin is 180 each. 500 for 2 is reasonable if id handle. Same if cleaning.

Omgosh, seems like this ID is overcharging me on these misc stuffs...

180 is you yourself handle all this rubbish, his cost including his time, workers time and guarantee complete task.

People always forget management fees, if you do yourself how much do you charge.

Jb is around rm500 to rm800 for 1, including the labour to clear the debris etc. Post renovation cleaning would depends on whether got paint touch up, minor touchups here and there. Your rm1200 seems high, check what is included. BTW yours is from ID, so got project management costs buffered in.

Hi, I'd like to park on this thread. my house will be finishing around Dec - early next year too. Its been great reading all the advises in this thread!

Also for hob and hood, is rubine brand ok? If Im not mistaken Rubine is local brand, but seems alot of people using them.

Ask here ..

DESIGN DRAFT RENDERS

After trying to contact with a few IDs, I've decided to DIY my own interior design with my bare minimum designing skills.

Living Room



Kitchen




Yard




Master Bedroom



Toilet



It took me around 1 week to design this by myself, constantly making changes trying to make the space as practical as possible while adapting Scandinavian/Minimal style that my partner and I wanted.
Any contractor here would like to provide their service to renovate my house? Please do DM me and we can discuss further.

Any pro IDs here who can give feedbacks to my designs will be much appreciate

Looks good bro.

Looks really good. manage to do this in a week

what software/website are you using?

Looking good! I see you using this homestyler.com to do it, gonna give mine a go!

I've been using SketchUp to plan mine, but I don't know how to render the 3D like this one with the lighting haha... and my ID slow I usually just draw them out first to have a visual, only let them do the render.

Hi I am using homestyler.com. At first I tried SketchUp, but it's somewhat immediate to me so I didn't continue with SketchUp. They give free rendering using token.

The lighting feature really make the whole design pop!

Just be aware there's some limitation to this software. For example, if you want to remove something out of a 3D model you can't. That's why my under staircase storage is so cacat...

The warm lighting makes the house look extremely cozy, well done.

wow awesome. i've been trying homestyler for a week as well. but I still can't figure out how to do 'customise' kitchen cabinets (size and design).

but you have done a great job with lighting there.

I have a suggestion, if you can't find your desire cabinet in homestyler, you can find 3d model online that are free. Then upload these model into homestyler.

really? you are the best! will give it a shot.

have you done rendering for other rooms? cant wait to see that
