1) If doing any extension of area to existing footprint - don't save on the piling. The pad footing foundation don't work, after the raining season, the newly extended area will set differently from the existing area build by the developer, the crack line on the joint between the extended wall will appear.

2) Kitchen cabinet for the sink bottom , just leave it open without any cabinet door. The area is subjected to high moisture condition, eventually the wooden cabinet will subjected to the mold growth.

1) demolish and re-do if possible, to prevent this joint back problem
2) can do aluminium kitchen frame and door with tiled walls

Definitely need to redo but most likely when the unit is vacant because the piling work & wet work need at least 3-4 months without labor shortage issue.

but you do need to apply right if it's an extension ? iinm, if extension for kitchen macam no need, but if go all the way up to 2nd or 3rd floor, need to submit drawing and get approved by local municipal, concrete cooling off period at least 9 to 12 days

Still need to apply permit for renovation even if it is single storey.

If 2 storeys & above need building plan submission.
