RECONSTRUCTION VS NEW BUILT?
Reconstruction equals cost savings?
Think again.
It is a common belief amongst owners that reconstruction will equate to construction cost savings. Now think again.
Consider a scenario where your structural beams, columns and your 2nd storey floor slab are retained. Not only will you have to retain the height of your existing first storey, any new piping works will require hacking of the original floor slab and skillful concealment.
To add an additional storey to the existing house or change a roof type may result in additional loading. It will mean reinforcement to the existing structure resulting in chunky columns and thick reinforcement beams.
When the planning is not done skillfully, you not only end up with an undesirable end product and the cost may also jack up.
