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.  bruce.gif  bruce.gif  bruce.gif

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  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

Thanks! Yup, came to this conclusion we never use our dining table at current home as we like to watch Netflix and eat. So will grab breakfast on island and have lunch/dinner on coffee table and sit on a nice and comfy rug.

DESIGN DRAFT RENDERS 2.0

After having a zoom meeting with another potential ID firm, I've decided to make some amendments to my renders so potential ID firm can better understand what my partner and I want our home to look like. Currently still in the midst of looking for ID firm/contractor then by next year VP I'll shortlist my ID firm to start work!

Due to Lowyat image upload limit, I can only give link to my designs for anyone that is interested.

Greetings! We have just purchased our 1st home not long ago and it’s a landed home which we intend to make it as our dream home! Since our family only have 3 members (with a corgi) so we don’t really need a really big landed house.

Therefore, after researching several new launches we finally found a landed house that suits our lifestyle and can’t wait to renovate it to how we like and stay there!
Currently the house is still under construction, so we have plenty of time to do planning now, everything is not final. The purpose of my post is to get the professional or experienced people feedback/suggestions.

House Details:
Land Area: 20’ X 60’
Built-Up: 1621 sqft
Rooms: 3
Bathroom: 3

Original Layout:

Proposed Layout:

Pre-plan

As we are rapidly saving up money for renovation, we have decided to keep our target realistic to our renovation objectives. *we have no idea how much would be the actual cost at this moment [May 2021]

Budget Renovation Cost: RM 80,000

So far, we have yet to decide should we hire Interior Designer, but we have roughly designed our dream layout for our home via a game call Sims 4:
Sims 4 Design Draft

Just for reference, this is the show unit design:
Show Unit Design

Renovation touch points:
1. No renovation for bathroom is needed since it’s a new unit.
2. We decided not to renovate our other 2 bedrooms.
3. We decided not to do any tiling for our yard space, will put artificial grass on top.
4. We would like to focus our renovation on Living area and master bedroom only.
5. We intend to get all the heavy drilling/hacking work done first, for other rooms we can do minor renovation.
With excel worksheet, we have calculated that we will spend around RM 72k for our renovation.

You can download our budget excel worksheet here

Budget touch points:
1. To be really honest, we have no idea what are the current market price, so we only estimate price by comparing IKEA, Shopee, Lazada.
2. Why I put lesser amount on Painting and Wiring is because my family member does this business.
3. We don’t intend to get luxurious branding but intend to get long lasting material. For e.g: Panasonic, LG are well branded for their Aircon and Washing Machine respectively.

Misc touch points:
1.    Since we are extending our yard wall, local permit is needed
2.    Serves 100-plus or kopi peng to the contractors
3.    Take a lot of progression photos
4.    Clean up cost need to be considered
Since this is our first house and first renovation process, we would much appreciate any pros here can provide us positive feedback and let us know if we missed out anything important!
