Chance for architects to exhibit their designs

GET a chance to showcase your residential renovation at major cities in Malaysia by winning the inaugural Persatuan Arkitek Malaysia-Home Decoration Exhibition (PAM-Homedec) Award which is now open for entries.

The award is a first for PAM and Homedec which honour the work of architects in the home renovation field.

PAM president Saifuddin Ahmad said the award would help promote good architectural design and encourage homeowners to appoint architects for their renovation works.

Many Malaysians rely on contractors or unqualified persons for renovation advice and design.

This mostly result in completed works that lack design aspirations and do not harmonise with its surroundings.

It sometimes sticks out like a sore thumb and may even be unsafe, said Saifuddin.

He added that architects were well-versed with the regulations and building laws, ensuring health and safety requirements were met as well.

Homedec organiser C.I.S Network Sdn Bhds president Vincent Lim said the exhibition had become a Malaysian household name for renovation, refurbishment and redecoration.

People come to discover designs, solutions and the latest trends and ideas to spruce up a home. Architects play a major role in turning a homeowners vision or ideas into reality, he said.

Lim added that they would be considering providing the platform for showcasing regulations and laws when it comes to renovations.
