Verilog — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 08:26:29 +0800

hi guys

I'm planning to renovate a old 2 stories terrace (22x75).

Few key things in mind:
1. electrical must be all new: 3 phased
2. water pipe must be all new ( to new water tank and new kitchen) + sewer pipes must be new.
3. master bedroom and kitchen need to make it squarish and redo/reposition
4. toilet must be new

Few things are not certain and appreciate some advice:
1. do i need to replace the 30-40 years roof? or just service it ( repaint/sealant)
2. do i need to change the sewer tank?

attached is one of the quotes i received and i find it reasonble.

2016 Renovation Costing and Supplier Guide

Verilog — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 10:32:38 +0800

dear all sifu

i'm doing a budget for my renovation cost.
hence i thought of posting the budget list here so that it could be useful for others to find out where to buy, how much, who is the recommended supplier and provide a template for budgeting

the renovation list is only for non-structural items and based on a 2 stories intermediate house with standard configuration ( ground floor: kitchen, living room, guest room, 1 toilet. First floor, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom)

The price is only estimation for good quality parts ( mainly google the price) + include labour to install.

Do feedback so that i can make changes and add in recommended supplier.
with much input, going forward it could probably be a handy guide for all new home owners looking to renovate their house.

Design idea for Terrace: reducing heat + utilities

Verilog — Sat, 09 Jan 2016 15:45:07 +0800

hi all

i'm planning to design a intermediate 2 stories house with the following key objective in mind:
-low maintenance
-cooling
-hopefully lower util bill ( especially electricity in the long run (5 years timeline)
- the front door is facing NE

1. i'm exploring solar ventilation fan, solar heater, roof turbine. Any opinion on this?
2. i'm planning a exposed ceiling ( where the upper rooms can directly see the roof wood structure. Would this make the upper room hotter?
3. for ground floor: by using broken marble vs tiles, would it be more comfortable and cooling?

of course, switching on aircon is a definite but my objective is to build a house to the best of my ability without making it a heat trap.

1.3M: Sri hartamas terrace house or further?

Verilog — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 23:56:22 +0800

Hi all sifu.

I have a budget of 1.3m + 300k renovation and I'm looking to purchase my first landed for own stay and hopefully significant capital appreciation in future.

So far I seem to think sri hartamas double story terrace house is underpriced ( 22x80 or 22x75 free hold) around 1.3m. But would required a significant renovation.

My work area is at sentul and publika. Hence I would need some advice on what woukd be a better options with my existing budget in other areas?
