Project journey
You're renovating a terrace house
A terrace house means a kitchen, wardrobes, a wet area, and doors and windows that suit Sarawak weather — usually all at once, on one budget. The trick is sequencing it and matching each material to its zone, so nothing fails early.
The questions running through your head
- Which rooms should I spend on first?
- What material lasts in Sarawak's humidity?
- Wet kitchen, dry kitchen, or both?
- How do I avoid the mistakes everyone makes?
- What will a realistic budget look like?
Spend by zone, not by room
The single biggest lever in a terrace-house reno is matching material to moisture zone — it's what decides whether a cabinet lasts two years or twenty.
- Wet zones (wet kitchen, bathroom) → aluminium or ACP that can't swell or rot
- Dry zones (dry kitchen, living, bedrooms) → the finish you love, on a sound carcass
- Sarawak's year-round humidity is the constant — plan for it everywhere
Sequence it so the budget breathes
- Kitchen and wet area first — the rooms you can't live without
- Bedroom wardrobes next, sized to each room
- Doors and windows matched to sun, rain and security
