Hi guys, I would appreciate any sort of help here. I am 25 and planning on buying my very first property for my family and I to stay. Here is one of the options I'm considering at the moment. Basically the land is about 5000sq ft and there is an old house, tenanted at the moment. The house is small, about 1500sq ft. I plan to do the following reno:

1) Ground levelling for a slope in front including a retaining wall. (the slope is about 500sq ft, 10ft tall)

2) Knock down the walls and to increase floor space and build new walls. (from 1500sq ft to about 2000sq ft)

3) Floor tiling for the whole house. Currently it is cement.

4) Tiled kitchen top, basin etc. (my mom likes the old school concrete and tiled type)

5) Floor+wall tiling, change toilet, sink and shower head for 2 bathrooms.

6) Add another bathroom.

7) Autogate and concrete to cover the drain (2 ft x 60 ft drain)

8) Plumbing and 3phase wiring.

9) Paint the whole house.

Currently, the plumbing and wiring is all functional. The roof is also in good condition. Just planning to paint the roof tiles as well.

I am going for basic but good quality materials in terms of tiles and finishing. The idea is to have a spacious house with a good layout like how they used to build ‘em in the good old 70's and 80's.

I would appreciate any kind of price estimation or advise for the works mentioned above. All without furnishing.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Hi guys,

First time posting here. Hope to get some suggestions. Me and my family are thinking to move to Sri Petaling and we are looking at 2.5 storey terrace. Been having hard time to find available unit at reasonable price. So I'm thinking we could actually buy a cheaper double storey terrace and turn it into a 2.5 storey. Yeah problem solved! But wait... my hunch tells me that it would not be so simple....

I would like to know how much would it cost to build an additional 0.5 floor on a 22 x 75 double storey terrace. Or I should ask if it is possible to do so in the first place.

Thanks!
