Updates:

Finally submitted for MBSA permit last week. Have to wait for 21 days before collecting the approved permit from MBSA. not sure why it takes so long for them   , but it is what it is.

meanwhile, I shared the whole process of architectural drawing and MBSA submission and how much it cost us in a recent blog post:

Don’t Overlook the MBSA Permit Expenses

It is RM6,900 together with permit and processing fee. RM5300 only for arc drawing+CCC and submission.

Updates:

After a month finally got MBSA approval last week. (Submitted first week of Oct, approved on 2 Nov 21). Renovation works just started. Those who are planning to do renovation, suggest to apply for MBSA permit asap - esp those who submit with drawings. Will share videos/pictures soon.

Carpentry works:
Finally decided on vendors for carpentry works. Got quotations from:
- Signature Kitchen - looks very class but extremely expensive compared to other vendors. price almost double. eventhough they have promotions, the price after discount is still expensive 
- MKA Kitchen - design looks modern. sales team is really good. price is reasonable for the quality.
- Homa Kitchen - design looks alight. sales team is not friendly, not getting proper answer for questions. they have packaged price with lots of freebies. however, the add-ons to their standard package, is very expensive.
- Avenue Kitchen, Kelana Jaya - designs look very old school. price is average.

I will share the quotations on my blog soon.
