Price your home- The fee
RM3,565 per standard room and RM5,485 for the open-plan living and dining. Fixed in writing before we begin, paid in stages as the project progresses, and never a percentage of your build.
- New condos
Two bedrooms, a dry and a wet kitchen and the open-plan living and dining come to RM19,745; with three bedrooms, RM23,310. Bathrooms you keep as handed over aren’t counted.
- The building work
Done by contractors, from quotes we gather and compare with you. We design, draw and manage the project; we don’t build it.
- When to call
As soon as you have a handover date, so the design is ready with your keys. For a terrace you already live in, call before you ask a contractor to quote.
What should you plan first when your Kota Damansara condo keys arrive?
Plan around the view, the storage and the building’s renovation rules before you pick a finish. Kota Damansara’s older sections are mostly terraces, but most homes handing over here now are condos, so this chapter starts with one.
The handover pack. Read it first. It sets the renovation deposit, the hours your contractor may work, and how the service lift is booked for every delivery, from carpentry to the fridge.
The view. At Sunway d’hill, beside the forest reserve, the window is the best thing in the room. Keep the furniture under it low and put the television on a side wall, so the green isn’t hidden behind a screen.
The afternoon sun. A west-facing condo can’t be shaded from outside, and much of its glass won’t open. Blinds that dim rather than black out keep the view and cut the heat.
The front door. Every pair of shoes lives inside. A ventilated shoe cabinet with a bench beside it stops the entrance becoming a pile, and closed boxes grow mould in this humidity.
The kitchens. Sunway d’hill’s homes have a dry and a wet kitchen, so the wok’s smoke stays out of the living room. Where a kitchen is open, a wok needs a ducted hood or a glass door.
The yard. It holds the washer, the drying rack and the water heater, so give it a tall cabinet for detergents and the mop.
The extra room. Larger layouts here, such as the 3+1 and 4+1 units at Aetas, add a small room near the kitchen. Decide early whether it’s a helper’s room, a store or a study, because each needs different power, ventilation and doors.
Storage before furniture. Full-height wardrobes, and one cupboard for luggage, festive boxes and the vacuum. Plan them before choosing a sofa.
If yours is a terrace. The porch is the real entrance, and the wet kitchen keeps the wok’s smoke away from the dry one. If the house has been extended, ask for the approved plans. A full renovation of an older terrace is worth walking through on the call first, since the scope varies from house to house.

No renovation costs have been published for Kota Damansara homes yet, so the ranges come from typical costs for each part of the job, not from Kota Damansara projects. Estimates as of September 2026, not a quotation: your contractors’ quotes are the real number.

Design or styling? Choose interior design when something is being built, such as carpentry, lighting or a kitchen. Choose interior styling when the rooms stay as they are and you want the furniture, art and finishing layer.
Rooms, not square feet. A 3,000 sq ft unit at Aetas costs the same to design as a 1,000 sq ft one with the same rooms. With interior design, the foyer and utility yard are designed free when your home has a bedroom and a living and dining space.
A site visit is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us. The fee is paid in stages as the project progresses.
Why not a percentage? A fee charged as a share of the build rises each time you choose a better tile or tap. Ours is set per room before we start, so it stays where it was agreed.
What about “free design”? It’s usually priced into the build. A separate, fixed fee means the same drawings can go to several contractors, and you compare their quotes like for like.
What happens between the first call and moving in?
We design, draw and manage the project; contractors build it. You choose them from quotes we gather and compare, and your rooms and fee are agreed in writing before work begins.

- Keys and defectsReport defects to the developer in writing before any work touches them. The defect liability period runs 24 months from vacant possession.
- The site visit RM200, waived if you go ahead with usWe measure and photograph every room.
- The designLayout, lighting, built-ins and materials, room by room, with one designer from the first call to handover.
- The drawingsWhat your contractor builds from, so the quote and the work match the design.
- The quotesWe gather and compare contractors’ quotes and show you where your budget works hardest. You choose.
- The approvalsFor a condo, we submit your renovation plan to the management and book the service lift. Your contractor obtains MBPJ’s approval.
- On site, then moving inWe coordinate the works and deliveries and check what’s built against the drawings. Renovations published by other firms in KL and PJ ran a median 12 weeks on site for condos and 19 weeks for landed homes.
Which council, and what it costs. Kota Damansara is under the Petaling Jaya council (MBPJ). Its small works approval, for new floor or wall tiles or paint, is a RM250 processing fee plus RM50 for the renovation banner. Work runs 8am to 6pm, never on Sundays or public holidays.
A terrace adds RM324 to place building materials, and a semi-D or bungalow RM810. In a condo, MBPJ needs the JMB or management’s consent letter, and the management holds its own deposit. Structural work, or a roof over the yard, needs approved plans. Your contractor, registered with CIDB, applies.
Do you cover my part of Kota Damansara?
Yes. Sundays in Bed designs homes in person across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, and all of Kota Damansara is inside that area. A site visit anywhere in it is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us.

Kota Damansara questions, answered
Do you do the building work yourselves?
No. We design, draw and manage the project, and contractors carry out the works. You choose them from quotes we gather and compare with you, so the renovation cost stays a separate number from our design fee.
Do you design terraces in Kota Damansara as well as condos?
Yes, at the same fee per room. A terrace brief covers the porch, the dry and wet kitchens and the yard as well as the rooms. A full renovation of an older terrace is worth walking through on the call first, since the scope varies from house to house.
Can I start with the living and dining, and do the bedrooms later?
Yes. Every space is priced and designed on its own, so starting with the living and dining doesn’t commit you to the rest.
Should I start before I get my keys?
Yes, ideally five to six months before you want to move in, or as soon as the developer gives you a handover date. The design is then ready with the keys, and work starts once your defects are reported.
Do I need a council permit to renovate in Kota Damansara?
For most work, yes. MBPJ’s small works approval, for new tiles or paint, is a RM250 processing fee plus RM50 for the banner; a terrace adds RM324 for placing building materials. A condo also needs the management’s approval. Anything structural, or a roofed yard, needs approved plans.
Is the design fee a percentage of my renovation budget?
No. It’s a fixed fee per room: RM3,565 per standard room and RM5,485 for the open-plan living and dining, agreed in writing before we begin and paid in stages as the project progresses. It doesn’t rise when you choose a better finish.
