hi all,
i went there for the 2nd time .. just to see my home again .. hahahah
talked with the grill man again .. managed to get him to measure my unit..
roughly, the grill cost he quoted is around rm1800.. for my 915sqft unit.
i showed him the design that is contained inside our handbook of rules and regulations. he said that the design is a bit harder to make .. i dont know ... dont have experience in this ... hahaahha
for powerpoint , he charge rm30 per point.
i dont decide yet ... coz just asking for the price for me to think ....hahahahahh
yet, he's a nice person to discuss to ..he can cover almost all reno work. like one stop reno solution ... hahahah
hahahahha  |

i have visited many kitchen cabinet shops.
my advise is dun go to those interior design company which provide this service. the price is much more higher than the normal 1 due to they provide design. even though same material. (for those budgeted ppl)
so far the most cheapest that i get is bout 3-3.5k in puchong and subang. both using ABS/Melamine wood with laminated surface. |

the person is Mr Kent Lee from Lee Renovation and Construction from bandar puteri puchong.
for two days i saw him at the guard house ,maybe waiting to approach customers...
i also ask him to measure and quote a kitchen for me.. since i ask him to make a small one, only 10ft ..,wood top , its just about rm1850..excluding the top cabinets..
the cabs will cost another rm950 for 8ft..
i have no xp, so i dont know wether this is expensive or not.. hahahahha
since my kitchen is small, maybe i dont need serious reno at all ... maybe i can consider a DIY set from IKEA.. still thinking ...
if u guys found cheaper grill man, tell me .. im on budget.. hehehehhh |

Hi gentoo,
Can't wait to see my own house.
Did you ask how they do the Rm30 power point? Basically 2 types, (i) cut the wall, lay cable and paste back the wall and we don't see anything expose except the power point. (ii) lay the cable with PVC conduit and you will see the PVC conduit coming down from ceiling. So which one? If the first type then it is very very cheap. _________________ EnJoy liFe always..... |

My unit appointment is on Friday morning 25/04. Hopefully by then the electricity already being connected. Becoz without electricity WE CANNOT DO ANY RENOVATION!!.
Does anybody know that for HLB loan, when are we suppose to pay, so that no interest for late payment being charged?
Because when I get my statement, late payment always being charged to the statement. Is it the same to all of you who take HLB loan?
Anyway about the teh tarik session? Anybody got any suggestion? Lot of things to discuss such as committee to look into HB, kitchen cabinet, renovation, grill, covered parking, to name a few...

Hi ngou!
Regarding the power-point, as far as i understood from his explanation, it is type (i). he doesnt mention anything about a pvc laying around. he just mention, make hole in the wall beside the existing point, and close it back with a new point. that's all. i dont know whether the rm30 is just service charge or including the (cost of) white point itself.
but for lighting, he did quote to me that, for each fluorescent light installation+the kalimantang itself is RM20. means , if you want 5 lamps, all will cost you rm100.
for special lamp, he charge rm15 service for each lamp.
each fan installation is rm20, excluding the fan of course.
curtain rail service installation is only rm8 per window. but you need to get the rail yourself. he just sell the normal aluminium rail (which is another cost need to be added).
kitchen wall tiles (with colourful corak ), for 2.5 x 8ft , he charge rm1300.
change kitchen window to aluminium sliding one, cost rm400.
kitchen wall cabinet, a usual one, for 8ft, rm950.
i dont know whether this price i got is OK or not.. hehhehh.. im still searching for the best-maker and cheaper (if any)..

Hi ngou,
Mine at 9 am. Yours? Perhaps joint inspection of our unit then? Two pairs of eyes are better than one...
Just passing by the entrance of VP today (sunday 20/4 at 12pm). Lots of people at the entrance. I think they must be contractors. However if we have a contractor who we really recognise and the contractor know us, it is better to go for that person than a total stranger. My 2 cent advice...
Anyway got a letter from HLB. They will start charging the full monthly loan instalment by 1st of May. It means this month salary ler.... If we pay more than 1st May interest will be charged.
Regards,
MMW |

Hi gentoo,
actually i got a cheaper grill, may I know how many grill you talking about for the price of RM1850??
If talking about 3 grill, front door, yard and sliding door(balconi)...mine is less than rm1500.
FYI, today onwards you might not able to see any contractor standing at guard house. because HB is chasing them away. I believe some "TAIKO" must have taken the whole VP by giving comission to HB......that's what i'm thinking. |

Hi benzy!
the quotation is for grill for door, 3 windows, yard and balcony. as for the door grill, i asked him to measure the size for outside one..means the grill is attached to the outside wall.. not exactly in front the door.. (which is the grill appear longer size..)
i still dont decide yet ..since i have no money ..just get the quotation first ...

May I know which floor you staying, My opinion is, higher floor do not need grill for windows. Why waste extra money? But this is still depend on individual needs....just my advice....
My grill size is same with you, but the contractor give me coated paint on my grill, so it wouldnt easily tear off even hit by pad lock... |

the person doesn't tell me what type of paint he gonna use for the grill.. but your type of grill does interest me because i hate when the padlock is ruining the paint at our grill .... hmmm

I quoted the L-shape kitchen cabinet (melamine type) for wall & base unit costs me RM3000 which is the cheapest i can get so far. A cement tiles top (stretch from 1 end to another) + cabinet @ yard area costs RM1500. Total for the dry & wet kitchen = RM4500. Does this consider cheap
Hi Gentoo, can give us the power-point sifu contact no? RM30 per point really cheap if include labor cost & material. I quoted type (i) range is RM80-RM85. |
