How Long a Renovation in KL Usually Takes
A renovation in Kuala Lumpur usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for a condominium, 12 to 24 weeks for a landed house, and 6 to 12 weeks for a shop or commercial unit. Timelines are measured between site possession and handover and assume design and drawings are already approved. Structural changes, extension works and landlord or management approvals extend these durations.

What Determines Your Renovation Costs?
Renovation costs depend on more than just the size of your home. Factors such as hacking and wet works, custom carpentry, material selection, electrical requirements and existing property conditions all influence the final budget. A Trio Design provides quotations based on your renovation scope, drawings and material preferences to create a clearer and more accurate cost estimate.
The five cost drivers
- Hacking and wet works. Moving a wall, a bathroom or a kitchen is the single largest swing in most quotations.
- Custom carpentry volume. Built-in wardrobes, TV feature walls, kitchen cabinetry and display units are priced by running foot and finish.
- Material and finish grade. Laminate, veneer, solid surface, sintered stone and tile grade each move the figure independently of the layout.
- Electrical, ceiling and lighting scope. New point counts, cove ceilings and lighting layers add both material and labour.
- Property age and condition. Older units frequently need rewiring, waterproofing or floor levelling that is not visible at the first site visit.
How A Trio Design quotes
- Site visit and measurement before any figure is given
- Layout and concept agreed first, because layout drives cost
- Itemised quotation issued against the drawings and material list
- Variations priced and approved in writing before they are carried out
Real Projects, Real Results
Six completed projects, each with the constraint that shaped it and the decision that solved it. Every case links through to its full project page.
872 sqft, One Island and a Dining Table
A kitchen too small for both an island and a dining table, and an owner who wanted both. The answer was one custom Dekton piece doing two jobs, a cabinet run cut back to 450mm to keep the busiest walkway usable, and beading used as a deliberate accent rather than a pattern. See the full 872 sqft KLCC condo layout.
Three Doors That Disappeared Into the Wall
Three bedroom doors faced straight onto the living area, and the owners would not allow major hacking. The doors vanished into the panelling, one became a glass folding door, and a larger master suite appeared out of an old study without a wall being touched. See the full hotel style Petaling Jaya condo.
2,700 sqft of Luxury With the Services Hidden
Modern luxury, with the air conditioning nowhere in sight. Real marble instead of print, a wet kitchen door concealed in fluted panelling, and a full Daikin VRV system designed into the plaster ceiling so the outlets read as ceiling rather than equipment. See the full dual-key luxury residence in KL.
A Brand Colour That Never Touched a Wall
Putting corporate blue on the walls would have dated the office on day one. It went onto the carpet tiles, the chair backs and the door signage instead, while full height glass partitions moved daylight past the manager's room and out to every desk. See the full 3,500 sqft Shah Alam office fit-out.
A Raw Look That Survives Daily Service
The owner wanted raw urban character, a floor that wipes clean after service, and tables she could move whenever she liked. Textured paint replaced render, cement look tiles replaced the screed, and the lighting was spread around the room instead of pinned above the tables. See the full TTDI cafe renovation.
Bohemian, Translated Instead of Trimmed
Authentic Bohemian materials are expensive, slow to source and would have pushed the opening date. So the concept was translated rather than watered down: look alike finishes, curved forms echoed from the existing skylight, and a room that reads relaxed but survives nightly trading. See the full Sips TTDI bar delivered on budget.

Why Clients Feel Confident Renovating With A Trio Design
A good renovation is not just about how the space looks at the end. It is also about having a team that understands your needs, manages the details and keeps the project moving with fewer surprises.
01
Your Space Is Designed Around You
We start by understanding how you live, work or operate your business before developing the design direction. Every recommendation is shaped around the way the space needs to function, not simply how it should look.
02
Design Ideas That Can Actually Be Built
Our team considers materials, layout, practicality and site conditions during the design process, helping turn creative ideas into solutions that work in the actual space.
03
One Team Managing the Details
Instead of leaving clients to coordinate different parties themselves, A Trio Design helps manage the renovation process across the key stages of the project, keeping communication and execution more organised.
04
Clearer Communication Throughout the Project
Clients stay informed as the project progresses, making it easier to review decisions, clarify requirements and address matters before they become bigger issues.
05
We Stay Accountable After Handover
Our involvement does not simply end once the renovation is completed. A Trio Design provides a 1 year post handover warranty, giving clients added reassurance after moving into their completed space.

Questions We Get Asked Most
A few things worth knowing before you start planning your renovation.
What does a one-stop interior design and renovation service include?
One team handles the whole job.
A Trio Design covers space planning, 3D visualisation and detailed drawings, material selection and quotation, then the site works themselves: hacking and wet works, wiring, ceiling, carpentry, painting and finishing. Site coordination and final quality control are included, so there is no handover point between a designer and a separate contractor where responsibility can be disputed.
How much does a renovation in KL cost?
Cost is driven by scope rather than floor area alone.
The five factors that move a renovation quotation most are the amount of hacking and wet works, the volume of custom carpentry, the material and finish grade, the electrical and ceiling scope, and the age and condition of the property. A Trio Design carries out a site visit and measurement, agrees the layout and material list, then issues an itemised quotation against the drawings.
How long does a renovation usually take?
Between 6 and 24 weeks, depending on the property.
A condominium renovation typically runs 6 to 8 weeks, a landed house 12 to 24 weeks, and a shop or commercial project 6 to 12 weeks. These durations are measured between site possession and handover and assume drawings are already approved. Structural changes, extension works and management or landlord approvals extend them.
Does A Trio Design handle both the design and the construction work?
Yes, both are handled by the same team.
Design, drawings, carpentry and site works sit under one contract and one point of contact. This is the difference between A Trio Design and a design-only studio or a build-only contractor, and it is why drawings, quotation and site execution stay aligned.
Is A Trio Design a registered renovation contractor in Malaysia?
Yes. A Trio Design is registered with CIDB and holds LAM, MID and BNI memberships.
Company registration number 1658541-P. The office is at No 3, Lorong Nikmat 2, Taman Gembira, 58200 Kuala Lumpur.
Do I need approval before renovating a condominium or house in KL?
Usually yes, and the type of approval depends on the property.
Most condominiums require building management approval, a renovation deposit and works carried out within permitted hours before any hacking begins. Landed properties generally need local authority submission where the work is structural or involves an extension. A Trio Design prepares the drawings required for these submissions as part of the project.
Which areas does A Trio Design work in?
Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley.
A Trio Design is based in Taman Gembira, Kuala Lumpur, and has completed projects in KL city centre, TTDI, Cheras, SS2 Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Rawang.
Is there any warranty after the project is handed over?
Yes. Every project comes with a 1 year warranty from handover.
Every project includes a final inspection before handover, and A Trio Design provides warranty support for 1 year afterwards. If a defect appears within that period, it is raised with the same team that built the work, not with a separate contractor.
