You can attend the homefair exhibition at persada to check out.. usually held twice yearly..
Quite a number but cant comment since not using them.. my fren using Dewani finished the renovations but they have not collected 10K balance..
Think they have a hefty markup..

Thanks Avalon.

Ok... i guess RM$50 psf for reno is a reasonable gauge for reasonably ok reno... anyone spent more... or less?

i plan to spend MAX RM100K or S$40K for whole house...no more.

sys 4 aircon = RM10K
whole house window grills + door grills = RM10K
whole house curtain = RM7K
lights = RM7K
furnitures = RM15K
full kitchen cabinet = RM15K
built in fixtures = RM10K
misc = RM5K

most likely i will engage a interior guy, give him my budget, tell him what i want and the quality of materials i am looking at and ask him whether doable or not...will let him jaga the whole works and site...

1 set 2 FCU, 3 sets 1 FCU (all Used)=FOC
whole house window grills + door grills = RM5k
whole house curtain from Ikea = estimate about rm1k
wooden window blind = estimate less then rm1k
lights and wires(own fixed) = estimate about rm1-2k
Car pouch and tile works = rm20k
furnitures = Not yet
full kitchen cabinet = FOC by ST + rm2k for extra work
built in fixtures = not yet

All in all don't expect to spent more then rm 50k

Bad at art bro...

Really bad...

So much so my beloved dad sent me to an art school to learn to draw n paint..
But i still cant make it.

My wife better at it tho. But cant ask her to paint lest u wanna write an eulogy for me..

Is there a link between drawing and painting your own house?

 

[cathylmg]

And the pub seal symbol of quality right?....
