No fixed price without standing in the property. Photos and floor plans are not enough to give you a number you can rely on.

A renovation studio that stays small on purpose
Nine years of houses, shops and offices across the Klang Valley. The headcount stays small so quality stays personal.
How we started
From a single shopfront in 2017
Ruptiva began as a two-person practice in a rented Petaling Jaya shoplot — one drawing the layouts, one running the trowel. Our first job was a 720 sq ft condo in Puchong; the owner is still sending us referrals.
We've stayed deliberately compact since. Today the studio is eight permanent staff plus a roster of trades we've worked with for years — the same tilers, the same wiremen, the same joinery shop. That continuity is what keeps the finishes consistent across projects.
What we believe
Renovation should be the part of owning a property where you feel most informed, not least. We try to make our quotes readable, our schedules honest and our snag list shorter than the next contractor's.
How we work
Six things we don't compromise on
Drawings before demolition
Even a small renovation gets a marked-up plan and elevation. It's faster to redraw than to re-hack a wall.
One foreman, one number
The site lead is the same person from day one to handover. You message them, not a call centre.
Daily site reports
A short photo log at the end of each working day, on WhatsApp. You see progress without having to ask.
Honest variations
If we hit something behind a wall that changes the cost, we stop, write it up, and wait for your nod.
Snag close-out
The final 10% of payment is held against your snag list. We don't chase it until you're satisfied.
Our quiet metrics
Numbers we actually track
We measure what tells us whether the work is good. Margins go up and down; these are the things we won't let slip.
