want to ask some info on cost of renovation of double storey house for budgeting purpose.
can anyone roughly tell me roughly thr cost for below item:

1) extention of the back of house for both floors
2) change of tiles of whole house
3) lay new tiles for car porch
4) change roof tiles
5) paint whole house
6) plaster ceiling for whole house
7) construct a wall in the living room for partition purpose

Approx RM90000.

Thanks.
mind breaking out the cost as per the list ?

i did that similiar before for my previous house
the cost reaching 100K for everything not including 3 phase wiring and roof tiles

i can kira for you, i know many indonesian workers...surely cheaper than 90000

U pay peanuts, u get monkeys.

U get what u paid for.

Er.. wouldn't the bulk of the cost go into material? The more expensive the material, the higher cost.

depends.

if say painting, labour > material.

concrete/structure works, material > labour.

there's a limit on what you can spend on the basics. but no limit on finishings.

well my dad is a renovation contractor. can intro if u want. =)

may i know roughly around how much to do the above?

thanks for the offer, but now i am just trying to estimate the cost

NO harm on trying indonesian workers.. now construction work (wet work) mostly done by indons. For indons u nid to have certain experience to guide them or at least find someone to guide them.. drawings are essential as guidelines. Walk around ur neighbourhood and look around for those houses doing renovation, dont be shy to ask for contacts, the more the better. Have someone to draught out what u nid for renovation rather then just brief info's. One thing to keep in mind, do not do last minute works and do plan what u nid to do.

hi ts,
i will need to know the size of your house and material you choose inable to estimate the cost for you.

hi,
just assume that it uses standard materials, since i am not really into details yet, just some ball park figure for bugetary purpose will do.
thanks

its about 80k - 120k... depends what kind of quality you want on the tiles...

'NO HARM' trying. But who's gonna bear the responsibility of work not up to expectation?

And like you said, WHO can you get to guide them? What's his cost?

Don't compare renovation work with housing development construction work.

The latter, the workers are essentially repeating the same work over every house.

i agree with you, you may end up spending more repairing the defects

i did reno myself with my own workers and i wud say its much better than another friend of mine who hired a contractor. Pricewise same BUT I did more things compared to him. Whats your area size?

It's very hard to give you a quote when there's no indication of the area and size.

regular double story house, 22'x75' , area in KL.
no idea on the build up since this is not a new house, i dont have the info from the developer, but my guess is should be less than 1800sqf.
