What we handle
Five trades, one accountable team
We work across renovation, design and the smaller building jobs that keep a property liveable. Pick a service to read the scope, deliverables and what we typically charge.
Commercial Fit-Out
Cafés, clinics, retail and small offices. CCC-friendly partition, ceiling, flooring and electrical packages with project schedules you can plan staff around.
Read scope
Interior Design
Layouts, mood boards, finish selections and 3D walkthroughs. We design with the build in mind, so the drawing matches what gets installed.
Read scope
Plumbing & Wet Works
Kitchen and bathroom refits, water-proofing, pipe reroutes and IWK-compliant connections. Pressure tested, signed off, dry years later.
Read scope
Building Maintenance
Repaint, leak repair, exterior touch-ups, JMB-coordinated common-area work. Small jobs we treat with the same paperwork as the big ones.

A studio, not a contractor mill
Built from one team across drawing, build and handover
Ruptiva is a small KL practice run by people who hold the pencil and pick up the trowel. We keep the headcount steady, the sites tidy, and the foreman on speaker for any question your superintendent throws at you.
That means the person who quotes the job is the same person standing on it on day one. Less translation, fewer surprise variations.
- Direct WhatsApp line to the project lead through the build
- One fixed price after the site survey — no hidden uplifts
- Payment in stages tied to milestones, not the calendar
- Twelve-month workmanship cover on every renovation we hand over
Why owners pick us
Six reasons clients keep our number
We're not the cheapest quote on your sheet. We are usually the calmest one to read, the easiest to reach, and the one whose timeline lands closest to the date we promised.
Clear, line-itemed quotes
Every BQ is broken down by trade and finish so you can see where the ringgits go. Variations get re-quoted in writing before any work starts.
Site-led project management
A foreman walks the job daily. You get a short photo update at the close of every working day, including any surprises hiding behind the wall.
Permits handled, not skipped
For renovations needing council or DBKL clearance, we prepare and lodge the paperwork ourselves so your insurance and resale stay clean.
Materials you can stand behind
We work with brands that have a Malaysian distribution network — so if something fails in year three, the part is still available, not orphaned.
Tidy sites, neighbour-friendly
Dust sheets, daily clean-down, predictable working hours. Strata buildings tell us their JMBs find us easy to deal with.
Twelve-month cover
Every full renovation we hand over carries a one-year workmanship warranty. We come back, we don't ghost.
Common questions
Things owners usually want to know first
If your question isn't covered here, drop us a note from the contact page and we'll come back the same working day.
How long does a typical condo renovation take?
For a 900–1,300 sq ft unit with full hacking, electrical re-runs and a kitchen rebuild, plan for 8 to 11 weeks on site. Cosmetic refreshes — repaint, lighting, joinery touch-ups — usually wrap inside three weeks.
How is your pricing structured?
After a free site survey we issue a fixed-price BQ broken down by trade. You pay in three to five staged drawdowns tied to milestones — site mobilisation, hacking complete, M&E first fix, finishing, handover.
Do you work outside the Klang Valley?
Our regular catchment is KL and Selangor. We take on Negeri Sembilan and Putrajaya projects when scope justifies a travelling crew. Ask us — we'll be honest if logistics make it the wrong call.
Will you handle JMB and DBKL paperwork?
Yes. For strata properties we file the renovation form, deposit and contractor permit on your behalf. For landed work needing council approval we prepare the submission drawings and stay with the file until it clears.
Can I live in the property during the works?
For light refurb — yes, room by room, with daily clean-down. For anything involving wet works, ceiling drops or full electrical reruns we strongly recommend moving out for the loud weeks. We can phase it either way.
Do you offer a warranty?
A 12-month workmanship warranty is standard on full renovations and fit-outs, covering finishing defects, hairline cracks at joints, leaks at connections we made, and movement on installed joinery. Manufacturer warranties on appliances and sanitary ware pass to you directly.
What if I already have a designer?
Happy to build to another designer's drawings. We attend coordination meetings, mark up where the build needs the design to flex, and quote against the BoQ they've prepared.
In their own words
A few of the owners we've handed keys back to
"They walked us through every wall we wanted to hack, calmly explained which ones we shouldn't, and came back with a quote that was already line-itemed. Ten weeks later we moved in. Zero variations on the final invoice."
Wan Aisyah R.3-bedroom condo, Mont Kiara
"We needed our café open for a Raya soft launch and they hit the date. The site was clean every evening, the JMB liked them, and the wet works two seasons in are still bone dry."
Kelvin T.Specialty café, Damansara Heights
"What sold me was the daily photo log. I was overseas for most of the build and never had to chase a single update. The 3D walkthrough they did before tiling helped us catch a mistake on paper, not on the wall."
Sara & Faiz K.Terrace house refit, Cheras
"Our previous contractor disappeared mid-job; Ruptiva picked up the half-finished kitchen, audited what was salvageable and what wasn't, and finished the unit. Honest about the bits the first crew had cut corners on."
Mohan S.Bungalow rescue, Subang Jaya
