I am thinking to extend my storage room into a common room and we will take out the kitchen space for this purpose;

I am staying in Condo;

First Do I need to get approval from Condo management?

Secondly, the new wall will be Plasterboard; how much the estimated renovation cost?

Lastly, how long it will take to do it?

Thank you

what is Civil PE sia?

basically i want to take the kitchen space so that my storage room become bigger

ok. civil PE is normally known as PE, or, just engineer.

if u want to hack some walls (i'm talking about HDB, cos i knocked my house walls before), and perhaps that wall is, per casted, or load bearing (forgot what is the exact terms HDB gave last time), u will need to engage a PE to see whether this wall is fit for knocking. then the PE will evaluate whether this wall can be knocked or not.

if the wall can be knocked, the PE u engaged will give them (HDB) a letter or some sort of certification that the particular wall can be knock. thats all..

if u want cheap PE, just pm me. i engaged a PE for less than 500 dollars. however, this is for HDB. if urs is condo, then u may have to negotiate yourself.

hope that helps..
