just curious....is this price include the wiring ?

Hi wr7878,

Thanks for your kind advice.

Is 10" the minimum it can go?
Or we can adjust the different measurements?
I am thinking L box at the corner only to save cost and also to save the ceiling height.

Mind sharing how much u spent on your plaster ceiling with your condo build up size?

Something not right on your L-BOX, 396 sqf? How big is your LIVING Room ? It means you house Living Room Wall is 99F per side...Bongalow? And you only surround by L-Box on Living room without Plant Plaster board?

Assuming you have a Livng room of 20 x 10, and surrong by L-Box, than the L-Box should be (20 x 2) + (10 X 2) = 50F
Than plain Plaster with be 20 x 10 = 20
SO your Living room will be
L-Box = 50F x RM10.50 = RM 525
Plain Plaster 200 x RM 2.30 = RM 460
Total RM985 for Living Room

Hole normally is RM5 but some are included (FOC)


Dining Hall with normal plastering 208 sqf = 208 * RM 2.30 = 478
Guest room with normal plastering 143 sqf = 143 * RM2.30 = 329

So total up should not more than 2K.
You better check where the L-Box are from and how it could up with 396 sqf.
Also, what the price for L-Box@feet and plain board cost.
Or you provide wrong info?

L box is per foot run.

The reason i have 3" plaster board is i wan to hide the air cond copper pipe, no need conceal into wall.
then i can relocate the wiring light point, and u can put the downlight as well. else u only can put downlight at L box only.

refer to jo_da post abv, he have list out how to calculate the cost.

U r right, my living room is 396 sqf in total, but the L box only prob run abt 70 feet long (20' (L) x 15' (W))

L Box is 70F x $10.50 = RM735
Plain plaster is 300 (20'x15') x $2.30 = RM690
Dining Hall with normal plastering 208 sqf = 208 * RM 2.30 = 478
Guest room with normal plastering 143 sqf = 143 * RM2.30 = 329

So the total shall be RM2232.00.......?

What is Plant Plaster Board?

U wan to do so BIG L Box? 70 feet required 18pcs of 4' T5.

Post up ur floor plan...so other member can give more comment.

i calculated base on the information provided..sorry for wrong calculation

don't worry. so next time u can learn. else u will con by contractor fr the info they provided only.

yupp...very useful info..sharing is caring

The T5 light need to overlap so the light through will be even?

is it ok to just connect the T5 casing plug (with a bit gap)?

i notice many contractor charge like below if need put T5 light,

Light through = rm12 per ft (not understand this means actually)
L-box = rm8 per ft

end up rm20 per ft.

Dining hall is kitchen? Else no plaster ceiling at kitchen? Unless u have wall or beam to separate the dining and kitchen?

But based on living 20' long should cover until dining area as well.
U should do L box 12L*15W on living and other simple design at dining.

Added on August 13, 2011, 12:06 amNormally either do L-box light through to hold the T5 or L-box only.
L-box don't have hole gap means don't have dust inside the l-box.

Sometimes we also call l-box as light through but we just tell plaster ceiling guy we wan to put T5, they will know.

You should included Kitchen as well, else the whole floor will look funny since not wall in between Kitchen and Hall (Imaging plaster ceiling from Hall and cut off once reach Kitchen area.
So your calculation will be 32F (21+11F) x 24F =768 sqf
L Box is 70F x $10.50 = RM735 (assuming the L-box will facing one side not two side)
Plain plaster board 768 x $2.30 (9mm) = RM 1766.4
* Plain = just a board without any pattern

The kitchen will extended (13' L x 24' W) and plaster ceiling is incl by the contractor. If you guy looked at the plan, the dining area will be slightly bigger.

Bro wrb7878,

Dining hall is not the kitchen, and yes u r right, i will have a simple design of 'S" shape type (sorry can't seem to find a pic to show it) for the dining area.

So the plaster ceiling cost for the living and dining area quoted by the cons can be consider very HIGH then??

For me 5K can do all plaster ceiling including the 1st floor room and all bathroom.
Try to ask another quotation, then u can see the gap.

Steven,

I have has asked below Plaster ceiling for quotation and price seen OK too (some items is higher than other, but end result only different RM 200-300)
