Attached is a picture of plaster ceiling design for a condominum.

Normally is how much? Plus the lamps also.
Just for my cost estimation. Thanks guys.

1st of all, what's ur ceiling height?
If less than 11 ft, this kind of design is not suitable.
Cos it'd make ur interior look small & cramp.

But how much would it cost? Im interested to know as well.
Does it count by the squarefeet? or

calculated by per sq ft and price differs depending on contractor... the last i heard was RM3-5psf... that was last year...

each hole on the plaster board is about RM50, lights and socket are charged seperatly

Plaster ceiling is not that expensive. Costs from 1k per average room.

It's the fancy plasterwork or cornice that costs more.

needs a few k's i think.. u need the contractor contact? i got 1 contact for plaster ceiling specialist, he did for my parents hse few years back. Workmanship quite ok, so far nothing fall down or loosen, even there's one time the bumbung bocor, the plaster ceiling still intact.. i think u better get contractor to see at your house first then quote. Difficult to estimate here unless u have all the measurement they need.

hey you need a renovation contractor?

anyone hv contractor that will do the minor job only??

sry..gona tumpang this thread abit..

I am planning to do plaster ceiling and timber flooring for my living room..which one should I start first?ceiling or flooring? Also, after the plaster ceiling is done, say in the future i have some A/V equipments and I want the wiring to go through the plaster ceiling, is it possible? If yes, how?

I'd say do the flooring last because you do not want the ceiling works to leave dirt and stains on the floor.

Hmm... probably easier if you get the wiring laid first above the plaster ceiling. Once your plaster ceiling is installed it's hard for the AV installer to lay the cables unless he cuts a large access hole in your plaster ceiling.

Down light cheap cheap only lare, RM10 each.

eh..were u find RM10 only? most places i see is rm30

helo,Im Derric here from CT Wood. Im a ceiling renovation, our product can mixed with plaster ceiling.First of all,our ceiling is water poofed and termite free.We called it Composite Technology Wood.If we compare with real wood is better then it...because real wood is NOT Water Proofed & Termite Free or may be u hav to paint for it every 2 years.If you guys interested can call me. 012- 396 3226 ( Derric ) ( Klang Valley )

nice picture, roughly how much to do these ceilings ?

my house is doin renovation for plaster ceiling now...if the plaster ceiling drop then need to drop how much? 4 inch or 6 inch will look better.
thanks

please bare in mind the plaster ceiling price and L box lightthrough price are not the same.

my contractor quoted me RM2.8/sq.ft. and L box is RM15/ft. I think the expensive part is not here, is the cost of downlights, lighting point and installation charges.

any new info on this plaster ceiling ?

RM10 for the bulb only.
Exclude choke, reflector & casing.
Whole set China made - around RM16.

Tumpang this thread...

Is there any impact of plaster ceiling to our health?
Heard friend comment that plaster ceiling is not good for those whom have nose problem...
Is it true?

Thanks

i just did the renovation and it costed me rm2,600 for my house of 1137sq feet. my ceiling looks exactly like the ceiling in the pic...

So....can you give the plaster seiling contractor contact?

Hi!
So i would definitely start with the ceiling first. No matter what you do either the wall or the ceiling the floor should always be last. When i did my ceiling i had alredy carpet flooring and i distroyed my whole carpte. Not just the paint - eventhough i covered the carpet very properly - but as well the dust, I never to it out of my carpet again.
Now i have an amazing Pegro flooring and Im so happy with it

anyways..guys..i just had my house done with this contractor.
his worker is all chinese..no bangla or indon...he can finish before due date..i am very satistied with his job.. u can try to contact him at 019-2591378 . Mr.Liew . . he count me Rm2.2 / sq.ft .. if he ask who recomend u say Pc..he will discount for u i guess.. cheers

By the way, most of the supplier is from KL ah? how bout those from Klang... got boh?

Really thank you for your recommendation. I called Mr Liew to renovate my fathers bangalow at tropicana. I am very satisfied with his service. He did a great job for the renovation.

May i know what renovation that this guy did for you? Is it only plaster ceiling or some other stuff too?
Looking for recommendation for my house renovation...

This post has been edited by Greenyz: Nov 13 2009, 01:52 PM

ur look must be very rich !

do u mind to tell where is ur condo ar?

its in Kota damansara , Casa Indah 2

so what is the price offer by other contractors?

around 3.5-4k..but that not including lights and wiring cost ..he told me is no hidden cost anymore ...include light,hole,wiring,painting and etc...total around 8k ..got 37 points lighting in whole house

37 down light x RM55 =$2035 + $3500 = $5535
$8000 - $5535 = $2465 ( for wiring and painting, i think is reasonable )

SOrry bro ..got 27 light points in my house
I think maybe around the same also from others ..abit more exp ..but quite reasonable after checking with 2-3more ..

guys, if moving into new house, which shouyld i do 1st. plaster ceiling or kitchen kabinet?

Just wondering whether the plaster ceiling job includes painting of the plaster after it is done?
My plaster ceiling contractor told me that the painting part is not included.

Any Advice?

must be the plster ceiling 1st..cuz when the work is in progress, ur house will be quite messy.

Added on November 23, 2009, 7:17 pmnormally is not included, if u want to paint plster ceiling hav to ask someone with painting experience & skill cuz if didn handle it right, ur plaster ceiling will look wave like

is RM1.8k enough for

-plaster ceiling for living room + dining room i think i dont have the budget for rooms yet)
-plaster ceiling for kitchen if possible
-floor skirting
-lamp socket/holes
-hide astro wiring + other wirings.....



...............

+ i believe we need to do wiring n piping 1st then only plaster ceiling....

u didn't mention the area of ur house, but from the info i think is not enough!!

for D+E alone also exceed liao

let me see,i cant seem to understand the floor plan measurement so basically its per sqf too? errm....


On top of that ->

Electrical
Wiring/ double all plugs 500
Fans * 4 600
Aircond * 1 1500
Lights 1000

= 3600

it depends
A-plaster ceiling for living room + dining room i think i dont have the budget for rooms yet)
B-plaster ceiling for kitchen if possible
C-floor skirting
D-lamp socket/holes
E-hide astro wiring + other wirings.....

A, B - per sq ft
C - depends on material, tiles or wood, tiles are mostly lump sum, wood are per ft run
D - per point
E - per point

Hi,

Just to know does RM2.70 psf include the wiring for each downlight? If no, may I know roughly how much the brother is charging per hole (include cutting the hole, wiring and fixing)? Will get my own lights which include the cover and the bulb on my own.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi All,

I just got a quotation for my plaster wiring job..
Do I need to get another qoatation or price below is acceptable? (for wiring only)

1.Down light wiring 18*rm35 = rm770
2.Florecent point wiring 22*30 = 660
3.New point for fan lighting 8*50 = 400
4.Install light 41*8=328
5.Install Fan, Hook 4*50=200
6.Workmanship for hacking, plaster =200
7.Painting ceiling, cornice =400
8. + 2 plug point baru 2*60=120

Hi, may I know whether I can still install plaster ceiling after installing airconds? I wanted to hide the hideous piping in all my bedrooms.

Dear bigbangisvip,

Technically speaking it could be done, as we will open a manhole (service hole that allows technician to access to those pipes) for maintenance purposes. Besides, maintenance for air-cond will mostly involve will the outlet only as the pipes will not have much problem in within 2-3 years. However, it's all depends on the position of air-cond.

Thanks for replying. I've just pmed you in order to get more information for me to decide further...

Hi all,

Want to ask for the L Box and Fan...

If I want to install a fan at the living room, do I need to have special wiring for fan or can I use the light wiring for the fan?

How about the fan hook? need to ask who to put it on? Should I ask the man that do the plaster ceiling to do it or ask the electrical man to put it on when I buy the fan?

For the L Box, how to do the wiring for the light? can use the existing light point? how many is needed?

Thanks a lot

Hi all,

Was thinking of doing an L Box thingy for my living room. Measurement is 8 meter x 4 meter. Any idea how much it will cost me?

Sorry to ask, what is L box, hehe

Hi, im planning to do plaster ceiling for living, dining and kitchen. Also kitchen cabinet. If wanna ask for quotation can? Not sure bout the house measurement, but just a normal 22x75 double storey terrace. Tq

If not mistaken, I think it is the box-up where you can place the down lights.

rm 2.50 for each s/f

around 3k-4k

around 3-4k? this are the measurement..

Hi,

I'm planning to install plaster ceiling to my new house. Total house build up is about 2590 sq. How much is the budget that I should prepare and do you have any recommended contractor with a good workmanship (not prefer indon but if they are really a good skill worker maybe will consider) and reasonable price? The design would be something like the following picture or the contractor can suggest me design that would look nice with the house. I would prefer simple and modern design. What else should I prepare that usually the contractor does not include when they install the plaster ceiling? I just know that I need to get the ceiling fan on our own cost, got anything else??? You can PM or SMS me on 013-697197...The house will be ready to be renovate within 3-4 weeks time cause I'm waiting for the bank to release the last payment to the developer and then only I will have my key.



Below is the floor plan...the current ceiling height is about 11 f:

Tumpang thread. Is 10.5ft ceiling in a condo high enough for L box plaster ceiling?

Guys,
My pc for living and dining hall.total for living,dining and tv hall upstairs(same design), master bedroom (light inside the longkang follow my queen bed shape) and flat type for kitchen is around rm7.5K. price include wiring and bulbs. can PM me for contact. maybe u guys can consider this malay uncle and his indon workers. btw location house is at sunway alam suria. just near to uitm puncak perdana.

This post has been edited by mirakim: Aug 19 2010, 12:05 AM

ya enough. but i will suggest u do L box without plaster ceiling if possible coz the fan might b too low

This post has been edited by nuclearbom: Aug 19 2010, 10:35 PM

dats right

Just wanna ask, is it advisable to attach satellite speakers to the plaster ceiling itself (probably a small one, maybe those typical PC speaker size). If possible don't want to put them on the floor cuz of messy cables.

Subwoofer, no choice have to put on floor la.

Recently i just bought a house. The initial problem is that the current dome type plaster ceiling in the living room & dining room is only 9ft from floor. which means the fan is seriously low, about 7ft. Do you think it will cost alot for me to remove the existing plaster ceiling and replace with a L box type with pendaflour lights surrounding the inner box? Of course the purpose is to have a higher clearance.

The living room ceiling about 200sqft. Dining hall ceiling about 100 sqft.

yes possible if your speaker is small 1. but need to do some wiring works before plaster ceiling

hihi... saiga, i forgot redi, coz juz google and type plaster ceiling design.

anyone know about the cost to repair plaster ceiling. there was water leak from above toilet and 4 holes that I've opened on the ceiling. have retiling and put water proof at the toilet. now want to repair the ceiling. get a quote of RM 250 to cover those 4 holes (excluding painting). those 4 holes approx. 4 X 4 feet (the most). if new plaster ceiling is RM 3 per sq feet, RM250 consider expensive right?

hi sifu's,

i'm planning to install plaster ceiling on living hall. the total height is 9.8 feet. which down light should i choose to use? a 4 inch or 6 inch down light?
i wanted to go with square down lights.

thx..

my living room 16 x 16 , plan to do the L box as below photo. i juz plan put the downlight at the box and not at the middle izzit ok ?


Attached thumbnail(s)

cutieling 16 x 16 quite big for your living hall, if just put the downlight at the box, just worry will too dark.

If the developer has installed the plaster ceiling, is it possible for the wireman to route additional wiring above it, says lighting and fan points?

Or must I whack the current plaster ceiling, and install new one after wiring works? Thanks!

You can ask the contractor that do plaster ceiling and see what is the best way to do it. Obviously you will need to tear down some of the exisiting plaster ceiling in order to put in wiring.

Planning to do plaster ceiling for my condo unit in Serdang area...Any recommendation?

i wonder how do people install projector mount hanging from the plaster ceiling. how to do it?

how about installing a curtain rail on the plaster ceiling? i wanna divide my L shape living room (living room that merge with dining area) into 2 seperate areas.

This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Sep 10 2010, 09:41 PM

Just like how the ceiling fan is being installed onto the plaster ceiling.
For the projector, there would be the mounting bracket in place of the hook.

As for curtain rail, it would depends on the type of curtain that you intend to hang. Basically you will need to have something for the rail to fasten onto. If you inform your plaster ceiling contractor, giving him the exact position of the rail, he will be able to do that.

This post has been edited by kelvyn: Sep 12 2010, 06:24 AM

Anything that need to be install onto the plaster ceiling will need some support to be install before the actual item can be hang to it.

so how is the ceiling fan installed to the ceiling?

before install the plaster, the contractor will build hook on the ceiling.

hi,
may i know how long it takes to get plaster ceiling works done for only 1 floor of D/S hse? How long can the tenant move in after the work are done?

depend how big is your place. once done can move in immediately.

they will quote i t lumpsum amount coz too little job to done. this is normal in this industry there is minimum amount apply or else done the work then collect RM 48 + 2 tips = RM 50 from the owner? anyone will do this kind of job? i think foreign worker also dun one do. trust me it does worth that amount.

---

Added on September 21, 2010, 9:19 pmanyone also can, it depend on the type of your downlights design. 9.8ft is quite high if you lowered 7-8 inches should not have any problem to occupy the 6 inch high downlights. lastly it depend to the design of the lights.
