About the estimate
How to read your estimate.
How accurate is the estimate?
It is a planning range based on 2026 Malaysian renovation rates. Real contractor quotes usually land within 20-30% of it, depending on the contractor, your site and the brands or finishes you choose. Use it to set a budget, not to lock in a final price.
Why is there a low, mid and high number?
No two contractors quote the same. The mid number is what a typical Klang Valley contractor would quote for this size and scope. The low and high show the realistic spread you should expect when you collect two or three quotes.
What does each finish tier mean?
Basic is ceramic tiles, laminate carpentry and off-the-shelf fittings. Mid-range is porcelain tiles, a mix of solid and laminate carpentry, and branded sanitary ware. Premium is natural stone, solid wood, designer fittings and custom millwork. The tier changes both material and labour cost.
What is not included?
Loose furniture, appliances, and building-management deposits or permit fees. The estimate does include a design fee and a contingency buffer for surprises once walls are opened.
Why does the location change the cost?
Labour rates and material logistics differ across Malaysia. Klang Valley is the baseline and runs 10-15% above most other states. Penang is on par with KL, Johor Bahru about 5% lower and Ipoh about 12% lower. For East Malaysia we assume about 5% higher: labour is cheaper but materials cost more to ship.
Why does an urgent start cost more?
Most reputable contractors run a 6-12 week pipeline. Starting immediately means overtime, expedited material orders and pulling a team off other jobs. That premium gets passed on to you, typically 10-25%. The calculator uses 15%.
Is SST included?
There is nothing to include. The 6% service tax on construction work that started in July 2025 excludes residential buildings, so a quote for renovating your own home should not carry an SST line. Units on commercial title, such as SoHo or serviced apartments, can be treated differently, so ask your contractor.
Do I need to sign up to see the result?
No. The calculator is free, with no email or account needed. You should be able to plan your renovation without giving up your inbox.
