hi,

im just get my house key last week. plan to do kitchen(ground and 2nd floor)  & living room extension. size for kitchen area is 11' x 24', living room 6' x 24'. can i know how much it cost?

Hi all,

Do you know for the last 2 years how much price increase is it in the market to do renovation, e.g. doing carpentry work for kitchen cabinet & wardrobe, M&E work, etc..
The reason I am asking this is because I have done renovation 2 years ago, now I want to engage ID to do design and build for my new condo. They said that the price has increased A LOT ( they mentioned that 2 years ago with 100k they could do a lot of things, now only basic things).
Would appreciate if someone could give very rough figure on this....:-)

Hi weikee,

Rough figure in the sense that suppose you do renovation (mostly carpentry work) 2 years ago, it costs let's say 50K. For the same scope of work, how much will it cost now approximately? Will it be 75K (50% increase), 60K (20% increase)?

We have just had a reno nightmare..( see post today 29/7/12) We have made a lot of mistakes and literally paying for it now . My advice to prevent anyone suffering like us-

1. get a few quotes - make sure as detailed as possible ,make sure understand terms, read up what Rc pillar is for instance

2. DO NOT Believe everything u read in ID magazines , we took contractor from magazine , we did not know he subcontracts so we had a very , very horrible subcontractor who did not supervise project so end product was definitely not worth the RMXXX K we paid

3. Indons are so-so ( some OK) but are terrible if no one overlooks them. Towards the end we had to take time off work and supervise ourself bit still unhappy with finished project

3.Go look physically at finished project . Dont believe a word the contractor says. Most just want to get business as much profit as possible

4.When u think u found contractor run through the contract document with a lawyer

WE R STILL LOOKING FOR ANOTHER RELIABLE CONTRACTOR...

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!

Go to kaodim.com to get free quotes to compare. Can review profiles etc also. I know one of the co-founders of the website, they recently came up in articles on Edgy and therakyatpost. I've used it once for some other stuff as well. Really easy to use, fast, convenient and the comparison element is good. So you don't have to go around like this asking and answering the same questions several times to get comparison

Hi bros, I am renovating my storey-house basically to remove all existing floor parquet at 1st floor (those 30 years ago wooden stick type flooring) and install tiles.

Is it a must to lay the whole floor with sand cement before lay new tiles (of course better but surely expensive!)?

My contractor told me usually for large area is not necessary to redo all cement, but they can patch with cement any uneven/empty spot before tiling (save my cost). If want he can always do the epensive job.

Do any of you have similar experience in this ? considering cost and long term usage. Really need advice. :-)
