Survey Lampu

Next is Lighting, Fan dengan LED lamp..

Most of our lampu kami beli di CIMA Lighting, reason being sebab dekat dan dgn rumah. Kami dah merantau ke merata tempat looking for the right lamp.  Dari ke Puchong, Cheras, Keramat hingga ke segala mak nenek exhibition. Rata2, di exhibition nie, price xde la murah sangat unless untuk clearance item. Cuma aku piker kalau ada problem nk tukar tu jauh sangat dgn rumah. So beli yang dekat dengan rumah, lagipon tgh ada promotion di CIMA nie. Tapi before beli lampu nie, aku cadang korang start with site visit kat rumah, tgk practicality and visualise dulu baru beli lampu. Lampu ni ada mcm2 jenis and effect, kalau pandai pilih nescaya cantik rumah korang, tapi kalau nk mudah serah pada Interior Designer. Hahahaha. Lampu rumah aku nie kebanyakkan beli lepas consultation dgn ID dulu.

Budgeting untuk Renovation

As for the time being, korang dah buleh start survey quotation untuk renovation. Before anything, please plan, prioritise, discuss with family/wife on your concept, and the most important is your budget. Suggestion aku, korang list out and brain storm whatever idea yang pop out untuk korang nk buat untuk rumah tu dari toilet ke car porch. Anyway, our concept is Modern and Contemporary coz aku suka simple dan tak heavy sgt and my wife concurred so proceed with this concept. Below are some of the sketches on our budgeting for our new house. Rough estimation is around RM 50k which include electrical appliances and some of the furniture and fitting. 

Budgeting aku ni ikut rough estimation based on survey aku tgk di lowyat.net, personel bloggers and few contractors. Then after that, korang consult dgn interior designer and contractor korang to come out untuk ideas and costing. This is judgemental, my advised is to engage with professional contractors/interior designer because they can drill down to those tiny details and particulars items and practicality of area renovation tu. Layout rumah aku yang agak challenging ni memang menyusahkan bila nk come out dengan design. Tapi alhamdulillah, berkat kepakaran designer kami, berjaya jugak. Nanti aku tunjuk few magic yang contractor aku buat untuk settlekan beberapa masalah semasa construction/renovation dulu.
