Hi all,

Do we need to get the contractor ic number or any particulars or photocopy of his ID card before making any 50% down payment as no agreement was signed besides he is a contact i got from a advert(grille) at www.mudah.com. Didnt get to know where is his office too so a bit doubtful weather if is a conjob. Anyway just want to find out that contractor is fine to show their ic in invoice statement right? No offence to all the contractors out here. Pls advice. Thanks in advance.

best to get contractors contact from friends or relative, quite risky to get contact from unreliable source

ALWAYS get a copy of their ic. Write a simple one-page contract. Include

1. Buyer / Seller full name and IC
2. Scope of Work
3. Amount
4. Timing.

Both parties to sign off. Make sure you keep the original.

Everytime payment is made, make the receiver sign off.

Sounds troublesome but if you get scammed then you'll really thank me.

Hi, I plan to renovate and old 22*70 single storey old terrace house. The objective is to make it comfortable to rent out to people. I plan to do the following and wonder what is a realistic budget?

1. To demolish existing old terrazzo tiles in living, dining and kitchen area and to replace with new 2ft x 2ft tiles including floor levelling in an area approx. 650 sq ft

2. To replace existing roofing with new roof tiles

3. To demolish old shower room (4ft x 6ft) and update with new floor tiles and wall tiles up to 5ft high and install new basin

4. To demolish old WC (4ft x 6ft) with old style squatting toilet bowl and update with new floor tiles and wall tiles up to 5ft high and install new modern sitting toilet bowl.

5. To redo piping system (expose piping will do)

6. To replace 4 room doors and 2 toilet doors

7. To replace all rooms windows. Total 12 panels (not sure about the size but assume standard)

8. To repaint whole house interior and exterior

Thanks for estimate. What if do full reno for a 1540 land area single storey but without changing the layout?

1. Change living, kitchen and dining area from terrazo to new tiles
2. New tiles to rooms, currently just cement flooring
3. Tile the whole car porch, currently just cement and garden
4. Fully renovate 1 bath room and 1 WC, change all the fittings and fully wall tiled
5. Change all piping and conceal, hacking required
6. Check all electric, re-do wiring and add some points including 4 air con points and ready piping
7. Plaster ceiling for the house in order to conceal the work done in no. 6
8. Install auto gate point and alarm point
9. Change all doors and windows panels
10. Paint whole house interior and exterior

RM80k enough?

Will cost around 85k-95k.

hi, so I am planning to extend my house by 1,400 sq ft and demolish some old area to enable proper extension to be done.

So, here are the agent designer and construction has quoted to me the final draft.

It seems like little expensive.

Experience ppl, please help.
[attachmentid=8229603]
[attachmentid=8229605]
[attachmentid=8229607]
[attachmentid=8229611]
[attachmentid=8229615]

I think the contractor do calculation mistakes throughout their quotation or simply taruh saja?

look at this calculation, wonder how they get the total sqft area..........



is the tiling cost including also the tile itself, look like it is excluded.

Overall, I think this is a main con price, if you want to save more better separate the whole contracts to 2 or 3 contractors.

Better also ask for other quotation from other contractors for comparison then you know what's wrong.

Hi All,

Can you guys help comment on the quote for a 1160sq ft property.

2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, Wet & Dry Kitchen, Living Room, and Dining area.

Hi guys,

Our house is a single story terrace, corner lot, built up about 2000sqft. What would be the current rate per sqft if I wanted to make it a double storey? A ballpark figure would do just to get an idea.

Thanks in advance.

RM190 per sq feet

Thanks for your reply.

What are the things to prepare for when building a second story ya? For example, will the flooring at my ground floor be damaged?
If so, will it only be a small part (staircase) or the entire floor? Or it won't be damaged at all?
