The Klang Valley Renovation Guide: Budgets, Permits and Timelines
Everything owners ask us before signing a renovation contract, answered in one practical article.
From a single wet kitchen to a full structural rebuild, HostNow Builders manages design, permits and construction under one roof — on schedule and without surprises.
HostNow Builders Sdn. Bhd. is a renovation and construction contractor based in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur. We took our name seriously: every project starts with hosting you at the table — listening first, measuring twice, then building once.
Most renovations stall in the gaps between contractors. We closed those gaps by keeping the core trades in-house.
Kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and whole-house makeovers for terrace houses, condos and bungalows across the Klang Valley.

Renovation horror stories usually start with vague quotes and vanishing contractors. Ours start and end differently.
They gutted and rebuilt our 40-year-old terrace kitchen in six weeks. The itemised quote never moved by a single ringgit.
Our office fit-out finished four days early. Weekly photo updates meant I never had to chase anyone for progress.
Traced a leak two other plumbers missed, re-piped the bathroom and re-tiled it beautifully. Honest people, tidy work.
Yes. For works that require DBKL or MBPJ approval — extensions, structural changes, facade alterations — we prepare the drawings and submit the applications as part of the project scope.
A wet kitchen refresh may start around RM25,000, while a full terrace house renovation commonly runs RM120,000–RM300,000 depending on scope and finishes. After a free site visit you receive an itemised quotation, so you see exactly where every ringgit goes.
Often, yes. We phase the works room by room, seal off dust zones and keep water and power running outside working hours. For structural rebuilds we will tell you honestly if temporary relocation is the safer option.
Bathrooms typically take 2–3 weeks, kitchens 4–6 weeks, whole-house renovations 3–5 months. Your quotation includes a week-by-week schedule that we commit to in writing.
Every project is covered by an 18-month workmanship warranty. If a defect appears — a hairline crack, a leaking joint, a sticking door — we come back and fix it at no cost.
We do, subject to crew availability. Leak repairs, repainting, door and window replacements are usually scheduled within the same fortnight. Send us photos through the contact form and we will confirm quickly.
