Finally, we collected house keys in Mid July. We want to share our journey from key collection, defect checks and renovation to turn this house into our home. Since this is our first home, we would like to get ideas and tips from experienced home owners.
Summary of Unit:
Alam Impian with build up of 19xx sqft and extra land about 1,400 sqft
Defect check completed: Second week of August 2021
Defect repair: Still going on (as of first week of September)
Reno starts: SOON. Short-listed a few contractors. Will finalise soon.
Defect Inspection:
We hired Top Haus Home Inspection since they were the only ones available right after FMCO. Other companies were not available at that time. Quite happy with their work. They sent the ‘inspection assessment report’ in 4 days from the day of inspection. Report was 92 pages with defects description, photos of the defects and suggested corrective action.  Overall, we are happy with their service. For a more detailed review + price list please visit Our Blog: KLKNviews.com . We have included pictures of the report as well.

Updates:

Contractor
Finally, decided on contractor. price is more less the same with few other contractors. but this company is a bit more professional - everything is in black and white, unlike some contractors with verbal promises (they refuse to do it in black and white. worried they might change story later hmm.gif ). So, we'd rather have black and white, good for both parties. so far so good, fingers crossed lets see how it goes with these guys...
MBSA Permit
Mids of preparing architect drawing for MBSA approval. going with contractors contact. the price is more less the same with another architect firm, however contractor's architect able to deliver drawing faster than the other firm.

Archite drawing + MBSA permit + Submission + CCC
= myr5300

price excluding deposit for MBSA which can claim after reno.

Renovation Idea
Here our ideas for the renovation. we had TWO ideas for the extension. we shared in our blog klknviews.com/OurHome with some inspirations for the interior style.

Working on 3D drawing ourselves, will share the video soon.
