    Dreamhouse,

    From my own house hunting experience, it is not easy to find a house that suits my needs and that is designed to my liking. Hence, I prefer to buy an old house that I can tear down and customise to my needs.

    There are 4 types of home improvement projects:

    - Renovation

    - Alterations & Additions (A&A)

    - Reconstruction

    - Rebuild and new erection

    I have written something on the differences between these projects in my Facebook page "Our Living Spaces". Do check it out!

    I have seen your house on Facebook page mentioned above. It is very nicely done! May I know the condition of the house previously and how much have you done to make it the present condition, cost and the land size?

    Hi Ram,

    I am new to this forum. I just purchased a Terrace house and plan to rebuild it. Can you please share your experience and guide me on this. My email is muralinaga@gmail.com

    Hi, we are planning to purchase a small landed house around 900sqf land. Currently it has 2 storey and an attic. We will like to extend the second level, redo the ground floor to have a small backyard with heated jacuzzi (currently it is fully covered) and hopefully a better height attic / third floor with new roofing. Will you be able to recommend your builder to us? Do you know how much in total is the professional fees (PE, architect and submission).

    We are also planning to apply for construction loan but understand that some banks do not support professional fees in the loan. Do you know of any bank that supports this?

    Hi, we are currently doing a reconstruction of our dream house at the moment, land of 1800sqft and future buildup will be 3200sqft. Our total cost for the reconstruction is slightly more than 300k, thanks very much to our builder, he is a small time builder but very experience. Also we managed to keep cost down by sourcing for our marbles and sanitary wears at warehouse sale. Can u imagine getting italy marbles at $3psf? That 300k included PE and architect costs, and all necessary permits and approvals. We can intro our builder and architect to u if u are interested, but u have to know what u want. Cheers
