The good news for the week is that my new BH in Pahang is about half way to completion. Two more weeks and there will be some birdcall noise in this town.
After a painfull week managed to work out the renovation works with my friend Mr. O.
We were having difficulties in finding the right suppliers for some of those items that we needed to cut down our cost of construction.
While asking around we were introduced to this hardware shop owner who built BH too.
The price was very resonable and we managed to save almost RM 5000 for a 3 metric tons on nesting planks red meranti.
Price was inclusive of delivery at site and installation will be about RM950 a day.
He have a large stockpile of other building materials and we hope to use his outfit for our next birdhouse building soon.

Harry, how much is the current price ?
thho,
The cost of BH building materials are not moving upward especialy when the fuel cost is on the way up.
The Kuang supplier gave the price of 2.15 per foot run for the nesting plank (red meranti) delivered.
The installation cost is about 950 per day. minimum is 1.5 days per floor of 20X70 feet. U need to supply the nails and hangers. He supply labor, saws and drills.
The insulation styrofoam is Rm 23 per piece of 4ft X 8 ft size.
I am not sure about the cement board.
All prices given are subject to change....
Thanks Harry, is 2.15 per foot run for the soft or hard type ?
thho,
The 2.15 is for the softer wood.
I choose softer because I hate to see too many nails jutting out when U use too hard a wood.
My SP BH have such a problem so I opt for the softer type. Not very soft but soft enought to nail them together and to the walls.
