hi, jus want to find out, i have a contractor quote to me for laying tiles (mat + labour) of RM9 psf (dunno if there's a diff, but tis is for floor & wall). The tiles can be any selection < RM4psf. Anything more, we will absorb. After reading this forum, i think it may be a bit pricey, but i duno. can anyone help me? thanks!

what is the size of the tiles?

combination of 1x1, 2x2, 1x2. should there be a diff for diff size or tiles?

wat i learned from others who're in reno line is that, standard price range for laying tiles (mat + labour), say, for the case of procelain tiles, is about rm 5.xx per sqft for 2X2 size; rm 3.xx to rm 4.xx per sqft for 1x2 size ...

so means RM9psf is exorbitant? how come im gettin conned right, lft center on my reno quote? tsk, m i so guilible lookin?

try to compare a few contractor price then u can get more choices..

IGax is right ... mayb u could ask ur friends, colleagues, or any other ppl about some reliable contractors ..

the thing is, i have. in fact, a colleague (who is kinda a contractor) told me the my quotation is okay. but i seem to be gettin diff opinion here....

still the same advise, try to find another 1 contractor to compare. Don't let him know that u oredy ask somebody to quo.

at least u got 2 or 3 quo, u know where to fit u budget.

thanks IGaX. I've checked and if std labour cost is about Rm3.xx - Rm4.xx, plus the tiles which is bout RM4, it will turn out to be RM7.xx - RM8xx, which is not THAT far off.

Of course I will further nego once I engage whichever contractor. But honestly, this quote of RM9psf is the cheapest of the 4 contractors I got thru fren/relatives. Isit bcoz im gettin those from KL/PJ. Apparently if i get Klang contractor will be much much cheaper.

klang contractor might be cheaper than those from kl & pj....

my price is lower than klang contractor .

Sorry for some lack of info previously ... i recall now that if u're asking ut contractor to perform hacking (for old flooring) before laying new tiles, then total labor cost around rm 7 -- rm 9 is the currrent market price range ... in kl ..

sorry for my ambiguity that hav caused much confusion.

yes, RM9psf is for hackin, retiling (incl of lab, mat + tiles that are not more that RM4psf). However, it excludes waterproofin for bathroom (which cost RM600 for two bathroom of 8ftx5ft each) which I believe is a rip-off. Will nego further anyways.

Am now gonna get MPSJ permit before finalising design n lockin in the contractor.

hi, wanna ask here. i heard house renovation require permission from majlis perbandaran? how to inform them.? can somebody tell the permission process for the house renovation,

which MP? Diff MP diff process (and rules). I can brief you bout MPSJ - coz im currently doin it.

how about MPKJ. maybe the process remain same. but a little bit different.can you brief the detail about house renovation permission for MPSJ on me? really really need this info!

thanks

the process might not be the same, best is if you call MPKJ and ask them. better that way.

anyways, for MPSJ is to get an architect, draft out the plan for you and then submit to MPSJ office. other docs incl S&P, latest cukai pintu stmt (to show that you have paid), some form to get permission frm neighbour (so u better be nice to ur neighbours ). takes bout 3 weeks to get approval.

draft out the plan?

what do you mean, it is need the proper drawing for the plan from certified architect?

can i ask my friend to draw if he a drought man?
