Q9 What are some advices for renovating a pre-owned house?

For safety reasons and to prevent power tripping, it is recommended that rewiring of electrical cables is required for houses that are over 12 years old. Bathroom tiles should be checked thoroughly for damage or possible leakage and may require waterproofing work if needed.
The air conditioner outlets and drainage systems may require replacement
Rewiring for electrical indoor outlet using 2.0 mm wire and 5.5 mm wire for air conditioner outlet. Replacement of fuses and switches if needed. Independent electrical circuit loop is recommended for kitchen, bathroom, lights, and power outlets.
Another important issue is waterproof, hydropower and aluminum door and windows for the whole outlook of the house.
Anti-rust and color-resistant building materials are highly recommended as well as high dense aluminum frame together with weather resistant cement for outdoor areas.

Q10 What are some advice for renewing a bathroom?

Threshold: the surface must slightly tilt toward the inside of the bathroom, and the width is the same as both the doorframe and the wall to avoid additional joints when laying the floor tiles.

Floor Waterproofing: The most used material is waterproofing agent. The agent must be applied at least 20 cm above the ground or not lower than the threshold of the door and if there is any conduit or piping it must apply the agent too. Once it is dried, it must be coated with cement immediately to enhance the waterproofing.

Laying floor tiles: Must ensure that there’s 1% discharging slope towards the drain hole. The tile joints must be uniform and aligned to the wall tiles. The floor tiles must be laid first before laying the wall tile in front of the bathtub to prevent laceration.

Washstand: The washstand with plastic shell surface can’t be fixed once it’s damaged. Hence, it’s preferred that the surface and inner material are the same. The seam must be caulked to prevent leaking.
Toilet: It’s advisable not to use cement to holdfast the toilet as it can’t be disassembled in the future for any repair. 

Exhaust fans: The number of exhaust fans have to be carefully considered to provide the necessary ventilation for bathroom.

Q11 Difference between conventional carpentry and system furniture.

The system cabinets are easy to assemble and disassemble. The material used is composite of plastic and plywood, and for the surface is hard and scratch resistant material. There is no need to paint after assembly and the overall time taken is shorter. As for conventional carpentry it takes much longer time as the wood-core board needs to be fixed either on the wall or on the floor. Separately it needs to be painted or veneer on the surface. But it allows flexibility in varying the shape and size of the cabinet depending on the space. As both are very different in terms of look, feel, construction time and cost; proper planning is advised before deciding.

Q12 Can you advice on some furniture selection and setting?

The Designer will also provide recommendation on furnishing concept and accessories based on the theme selected.
The basic guidelines are:
Functionality of furnishing outweighs style.
Consider what are your new needs and not only on current state.
Selection of accessories should be after furnishing
Choose a reputable shop to buy your furnishing.
Select material that match the style.
Limit to not more than 3 colors in any particular space.

Q13 What is the project management fee for?
