Corner Terrace To Build On 3Rd Floor

[Altaf Khan 0]

Hi ALL,

After many years of thinking and justifying on the need for space, I have (more or less) decide to start to look at adding a 3rd floor to my current house. some facts:

House age : about 20 years - well keep - renovated about 10 years ago

current : 2 floors; 1st floor - kitchen, living area, maid room and grand-pa room with toilet sharing;

2nd floor - 3 BRS; master BD with attached toilet; 2 room with sharing common toilet

total land area : 3000 sq ft

current build up : can only estimate only : 2400 sq feet

Would like to do :

1. extend the master BR to the back (on top of back kitchen on the first floor - so that my wifey will have space for the rest of our sunset years

2. build a 3rd floor on top of second floor with 3 rooms with attached toilet;

standard materials - like parque and such (same as 2nd floor)

build stair to 3rd floor unless i feel like doing rock climbing every time

need to see advise from the Guru here:

1. estimated cost per sq ft with other cost like PE, QS, etc

2. i think the total addtional build up will be around 1300 sq feet

pls advise on builder and architect too

many thanks

Hello! I recently got a new place too, and was actually very picky with my layout and interior decor. After many consultations with various interior designers, I got in touch with Singapore Carpentry (www.carpentry.sg) and they did an excellent job meeting my needs (I was actually very demanding with them). You can get a quote from them. They met my decor needs and it was worth every penny I must say. So far so good, everything still looks as good as new. You can check them out, sharing only because I believe everyone should know about them All the best with yours!
