Yes. It is roughly a two-hour drive from our Puchong base — the closest of the out-of-town cities we serve. The site measure is a scheduled trip; we do not have a Melaka branch or showroom.

My place is a shophouse in the heritage area. Can you work on it?

Sometimes, and it depends entirely on what you want changed. The listed core and buffer zone restrict alterations to older buildings and approvals take time. Send us the address and what you have in mind before anyone schedules a site measure.

The floors and ceilings in my unit are uneven. Is that a problem?

It is normal in older Melaka properties and it is exactly why cabinetry gets built to site measurements rather than assembled from standard modules. It does mean the site measure is the step not to rush.

What grade of board do you use?

ENF grade across the entire range — formaldehyde emission ≤ 0.025 mg/m³, the highest grade under GB/T 39600-2021. It is our standard specification, not a paid upgrade. Third-party test report JC26-WT0087 measured 0.022 mg/m³.

Interior Design & Cabinetry · Melaka

Interior design for Melaka homes —
handover in three months.

Free site measure and 3D rendering, then the same team builds and installs it.

Straight answer first

We are not based in Melaka — here is exactly how that works

Our workshop is in Puchong, roughly a two-hour drive from Melaka — the closest city on this list. We do not have a Melaka branch, showroom or local team, but the drive is short enough that scheduling a site measure here is straightforward.

Everything after the measure — 3D rendering, quotation, material choices — happens remotely, and you get progress photos every Wednesday rather than having to drive down to find out.

What is actually different about renovating in Melaka

The historic city core is UNESCO-listed, and that restricts what you may change

Melaka’s historic city was inscribed together with George Town in 2008. Inside the listed core and its buffer zone, alterations to older buildings are restricted and approvals take time nobody can shortcut. Tell us the address before we schedule anything — it is cheaper for both of us to find out early.

Shophouse conversions are not standard-module work

A lot of residential work here is inside pre-war or older shophouses: long narrow footprints, uneven floor levels, shared party walls, ceiling heights that change from front to back. Cabinetry has to be built to what is measured on site, not assembled from catalogue modules.

Landed homes mean the start date is yours

Outside the high-rise developments there is no management office renovation permit, no lift booking and no permitted working hours imposed on you. Our three months is counted from the day work can actually begin — and that counting method goes in writing before you sign.

Weekend traffic is a scheduling fact, not an excuse

Melaka fills up on weekends and school holidays. It affects when a site measure or a delivery is sensible to book, so we plan around it rather than discovering it on the day.

Before work starts

What worries you is not how the board looks

We read through what Malaysian homeowners say publicly about their renovations. Very few complain about materials. Almost all of it comes down to the same four things —

Will this ever actually finish?

Three months was the promise; six months in, they are still "wrapping up" — the single most common complaint we found.

Once they have my money, can I still reach them?

Every question answered before signing; messages ignored and calls unanswered after work starts — the second most common.

I have paid — does the progress actually match?

You cannot see the site, so all you have is someone saying "almost done".

When something goes wrong, who owns it?

The part they got wrong, and the homeowner is asked to pay again to fix it.

How we work

Four things we are willing to put in writing

"Dedicated", "professional", "on time" — every company writes those. Below are four you can actually hold us to.

Promise 01

Every Wednesday, we send you the progress — you never have to ask

Site photos + what was done this week + what happens next week, straight to your WhatsApp.

You should not have to become the project manager of your own home.

Promise 02

Three-month handover — and we write down which day the clock starts

Three months from the day you have the keys and management approves works to begin. Public holidays, weekends, and time spent on your own design changes are not counted.

Anyone can say "guaranteed on time". We put the counting method in writing.

Promise 03

10-year board warranty, in writing

Delamination, cracking, moisture blistering — we replace the board or refund what that board cost. The warranty covers the board itself; it does not cover labour, installation or transport.

We write down what is not covered too. That is how you know the warranty is real.

Promise 04

One team is accountable from first measure to handover

Installation is supervised on site by our own technicians brought in from China. Trades like wiring and ceiling work go to specialist subcontractors, as is standard in the industry — but one team runs the project from start to finish.

If something goes wrong, there is nobody else for us to point at.

About the board

Every cabinet is built on ENF-grade board

ENF grade across the entire range (formaldehyde emission ≤ 0.025 mg/m³ — the highest grade under GB/T 39600-2021).

Not a paid upgrade. It is the standard specification. Third-party test report JC26-WT0087 measured 0.022 mg/m³. If you have young children or someone expecting at home, this is not something you have to pay extra to get.

Wood itself releases trace formaldehyde, so we only talk in grades and numbers, never absolutes — and this number is one you can take to any other supplier and compare.

·9 / 11-ply symmetric cross-grain core
·Moisture resistant
·Termite resistant
·Strong screw holding
·Stable under load
·Flat surface, resists warping

Questions homeowners ask

Melaka homeowners ask us these first

Do you cover Melaka?: Yes. It is roughly a two-hour drive from our Puchong base — the closest of the out-of-town cities we serve. The site measure is a scheduled trip; we do not have a Melaka branch or showroom.
My place is a shophouse in the heritage area. Can you work on it?: Sometimes, and it depends entirely on what you want changed. The listed core and buffer zone restrict alterations to older buildings and approvals take time. Send us the address and what you have in mind before anyone schedules a site measure.
The floors and ceilings in my unit are uneven. Is that a problem?: It is normal in older Melaka properties and it is exactly why cabinetry gets built to site measurements rather than assembled from standard modules. It does mean the site measure is the step not to rush.
What grade of board do you use?: ENF grade across the entire range — formaldehyde emission ≤ 0.025 mg/m³, the highest grade under GB/T 39600-2021. It is our standard specification, not a paid upgrade. Third-party test report JC26-WT0087 measured 0.022 mg/m³.

Straight talk

Three cases where you should not come to us

✕You just want whoever quotes cheapest — we do not compete on price, and we will not cut to a number we cannot deliver on.
✕You only want a free 3D rendering to shop around with — the 3D is for homeowners seriously considering us.
✕You need to move in within a month — we cannot do that, and it is better to say so now than to say yes and drag you along.

Anything else, we are glad to talk — and even if you do not end up choosing us, the site measure and the 3D are still free.

Worth reading before you pick anyone
