wanna ask sifus here... do anyone have an estimate on how much would plaster ceiling cost for a whole apt size 1076sf? 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms...

normally what is the thickness of the basic plaster ceiling? is a 10ft height apt suitable to do plaster ceiling? Also after installation of plaster ceiling, theres no need for painting it right?

U will need 2 feet space for install plaster ceiling. Need to paint as there will lots of joint for the flat board.

Why need 2ft space, i have done < 8", just enough to install down light

U may need to change the cable from external to DB to min. 25mm2

2 feet is quite thick leh.. Then I'll left with 8 feet.. If instal ceiling fan a typical 5 foot plus our 6 foot guy raise hand then hand kena the fan d.. how to calculate price for plaster ceiling?

This is what i heard from my contractor, maybe i am wrong as Skng03 mentioned. Better engage with contractor for more information.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here. Need some advice from the sifu here.

I recently received the following breakdown from a contractor- can you let me know whether the pricing is okay? Looks pretty expensive to me. My apartment is the highest and therefore, the developer had done the flat plaster ceiling. What I need is basically is the L box / hanging box ceiling to put the T5 and downlights. They just need to put a hole on the plaster ceiling for the downlights. The size of my apartment is 972 sqft.


Living hall L-box ceiling -1850

Living hall 16nos ligh point. -1040

Dining hall L-box & entrance ceiling. -1250

Dining hall Fan point & hock. -130

Room 2 fan point & hock. -130

Room 2 change plug point. -80

Dining hall 9 nos light point. -585

Kitchen plaster ceiling. -750

Kitchen 6 nos light point. -390

yard 2 plug point. -260

Kitchen cutting (6 ") -360 --> I don't know what is this for.

Main door ceiling light point. -70

2 bathroom water heater point. -460

Kitchen oven point. ( switch control). -180

Kitchen change inlet & outlet Paiping & repair tiles. -350

anyone know the standard pricing per sq for windows grill and door grill?

Something like this design, but I don't want aluminium one la coz pok gai liao.
Prefer besi one.
http://www.honglee.com.my/products/aluminium-grill.html

1)Supply N install lightweight steel truss roughly around RM4.50 - RM5.50sqft depending on design.

2) Supply N install concrete tiles around RM3.30/sqft depend on design too

3) 2 sided aluminum foil (use wt good quality mesh) around RM1.30/sqft.
for single sided is much more cheaper but i advise u not to use it coz it is easily tear-able.

Hope this info can help u out. anyway if u want good contractor to do your roofing do PM me.

Hello! Would appreciate it alot if you can give some insight for an estimated cost for the following work to be done on a double storey house, 22x70 in jb?

Would all these be do able within a budget of 35-40 K?

Basic works:

1. 5 or 6 windows to replaced and install new window grilles.
2. 3 bathrooms to redo, including possible change of pipes if needed and waterproofing.
3. Painting for whole house.
4. kitchen cabinets
5. Change all doors and main door grille.
6. Electrical rewiring if needed.
7. Sealing up of back door entrance

Misc works:

1. Car porch extension, width/length not yet measured.
2. Gate entrance extension, width/length not yet decided.

boss, how much approximately to do the following:
1. remove all existing concrete roof tiles
2. supply and install 2 sided aluminium foil with mesh (rm1.30psf is it?)
3. supply and install BHP Lysaght roofing complete with insulation (say trimdeck with 0.42mm tct lah in colour)
4. dismantle and reinstall solar water heater
dimensions wise, give or take 23x70 landed with around 30 deg pitch.

estimated duration?
can be done with people staying inside without disturbance?
arigato!

Can PM me your contractor?
Thanks

Normally removing existing concrete tiles roughly will cost you around = RM0.70 - 0.80/pc
- Supply & install 2 sided aluminum foil = RM1.30/sqft

Somehow for item 3 if you want to install BHP lysaght complete wt insulation the you dont need to install the 2 sided aluminum foil
becoz the insulation (P.U foam) that comes wt the m.deck is good enough. Price around RM 6.50 - 6-80/sqft.

Dismantle & reinstall solar heater I'm not sure but definitely in Lum Sum but you can ask the contractor to help install it.

If Dimension 23x70, the flat area should be = 1610 sqft
and if at 30 degree pitch = 1859.10 sqft
But do take note on the overhang. Normally should calculate together wt the overhang part.

ope this can help you out. Do PM me if you want the contractor no.

add add together around rm7.60psf x 1500sf (i use 1500 because 23x70 is land size lah) = rm11,400
add another say rm300 for the heater = rm11700.
say rm12k.
walau weh!

approximately how much does it cost to extend both floors of a double-storey hse,say about 10 feet?
