Thx....
but this is not a new house. it's a sub-sale unit.
however, it is a complete empty unit, meaning there is nothing inside.
I have to do everything from scratch. n my problem here is I dunno where to start. what to do 1st... shd I start painting my house, polish my tiles, or fix the lights 1st???
by the way, i still haven got any quotation from anyone, coz I just got my keys. So, i guess d 1st thing is to get the quotation.
anyone know any contractors which is reliable n can perform most of the job?

Tq all for the reply.
I'll be only doing a minor renovation.
Basically, the things tat I want to do is:
1) built in wardrobe
2) kitchen cabinet
3) wiring
4) painting
5) fix a grill
6) parquet floor polishing
For 1 and 2,I've oredi signed up a package. So, basically now i'm still searching a contractor for 3-6.
I dunno whether I shd paint the wall 1st or polish the floor 1st.

do renovation from top to down. i.e. ceiling 1st, wall second, .....lastly floor. Don't do floor 1st, will get dirty when do other renovation

If i leave floor polishing at the end, will it damage my built in cabinet??
I dun know how do they do polishing, but i guess it will involve some chemicals, so if it accidentally hits my brand new wardrobe, then I'll b so heartache. doh.gif

True oso.. but u need to buy a land to build the house, n u need to have ur own designer (unless u urself is a home designer lor), sometime it could b quite pricey as well smile.gif

Yesterday I just met wiv some of the contractors, they r charging around rm2k workmanship for painting a 1,080 sq ft unit (include door, frame ceiling, grill n of couse wall). do u guys think it is reasonable?
