Renovation studio — Ipoh & Klang Valley
Old houses, tired offices, leaky bathrooms — made right the second time.
We are a small renovation and fit-out studio working with owners and tenants across Perak and the Klang Valley. Quotations are itemised, timelines are realistic, and the trades on site are people we have worked with for years.

What we do
Five practice areas, one accountable team on every job.
From a single bathroom refit to a thirty-pax office handover, the work is run by the same project lead from quotation through defect liability. No hand-offs to subcontractors you have never met.
Residential Makeovers
From layout reworks to finish carpentry, we deliver liveable upgrades that match how Malaysian families actually use their homes.

Read the scope →How a job runs
Four stages, with a written agreement at every gate.
No site visit obligation until you read the proposal. No demolition until variations are signed off. The schedule below is how we keep the work predictable for our owners and landlords.
Itemised proposal
You receive a line-by-line proposal with material specifications, trade scopes, a Gantt programme and a fixed contingency. Variations are quoted separately.
Execution on site
One project lead, one WhatsApp thread, weekly walk-throughs. Sequencing tracks the programme; any slip is flagged within 48 hours with a revised date.
Handover and defect period
Final walkthrough with a written snag list, professional clean, key handover, and a 12-month defect liability covering workmanship and waterproofing.
Why owners come back
The unglamorous parts of renovation are where we put the effort.
Anybody can fit a kitchen. The work that matters — the drainage falls, the membrane laps, the conduit routing, the joinery substrates — only shows up six months later, when the contractor has long since moved on. We have been the second contractor often enough to know where the first one cut corners. Those are the parts we get right the first time.

In their words
Owners and landlords on what working with us was like.
We had been quoted by four contractors before Upliftiq. They were the only ones whose proposal we could actually read line by line — no ‘allowance for tiles’ mystery numbers. The build came in two days under programme.Eleanor TanHomeowner, Damansara Heights terrace
Took over a half-finished fit-out from another contractor who had walked off the job. They diagnosed the existing mess, requoted just the remaining scope, and got us trading inside seven weeks. Honest people.Aaron LimDirector, Sunway Geo office tenant
Bathroom rebuilt twice by the previous developer's contractor under defect liability and still leaked. Upliftiq stripped it back to slab, sequenced the membranes properly, and the leak finally stopped. Wish we had called them first.Dato' Suraya MansorHomeowner, Bandar Utama
Common questions
Before we walk the site, here is what most owners ask.
How long is a typical residential renovation?
A double-storey terrace refresh (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, repaint) generally runs 10 to 14 weeks of on-site time from demolition to clean handover, with two to three weeks of design and procurement before that. Bungalows and structural work scale up from there. The proposal we hand over has a full Gantt so you can see the critical path before you commit.
Do you handle the City Hall or local council submissions?
Yes — for any work that requires MBI, MBPJ, MBSJ, DBKL or another local authority approval, we coordinate the submission through our partner draughtsperson. We will not start structural work without the relevant permit on file.
What is your payment schedule?
Standard schedule is 10% on signing, 30% on demolition start, 30% at first fix completion, 20% at second fix completion, and 10% on handover and snag clearance. We do not ask for full payment upfront and we do not invoice for variations until they are signed in writing.
Do you carry insurance?
We carry contractor's all-risk and public liability insurance with sum insured proportionate to the contract value. Certificates of insurance are issued to the property owner or landlord as a standard condition before tools come on site.
Will I have one point of contact, or will I be passed around?
One project lead from the moment the contract is signed to the end of the 12-month defect period. You will have their personal mobile number and they will be on site at every major milestone. The owner of the studio reviews every job weekly.
Do you have a minimum project value?
For new projects, our threshold is around RM35,000 to make the project management overhead viable. For existing clients we are happy to handle smaller maintenance and ad-hoc work outside that minimum.
