I have taken charge of a landed property in Penang (mainland) that requires major rehabilitation works. Some details on the property:<br /><br />Type: Landed, terraced, double storey end lot with no land<br />Land area: 127 sqm<br />Build up: 1,400 sqft<br />Tenure: Freehold<br />Room: 4 bed, 2 baths<br />Condition: Rundown - not maintained for about 30 years<br /><br />To start the ball rolling, I am looking for contractors. I am hoping all the experienced sifus in here from Penang can help me out with contact details of contractors who are honest, reliable and can do reasonably good work at reasonable rates. Thank you.<br /> Hatikva Home Renovations and Interior Design Mon, 06 Apr 2026 15:39:08 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2936367 Hi everyone.
