Renovation design, made clear in Sibu.
ELS is a renovation design and coordination studio in Sibu, Sarawak. We turn an uncertain renovation into approved drawings, material decisions and a coordination plan every trade can build from — clarity before execution.
Decided on paper, before it's built.
Three things a renovation in Sibu needs settled before any quote or any wall moves — and what ELS hands you for each.
The risks that are specific to homes here.
Humidity, monsoon rain, heat and terrace-house layouts create risks that are easy to miss. These are the ones ELS checks first.
These risks shift with the building itself — a terrace, an apartment, an old timber home or a flood-prone lot each need different checks. See renovation planning by property type.

Common questions
Does ELS work in Sibu?
Yes. ELS is a design and coordination studio based in Sibu, Sarawak: Sibu as standard, and elsewhere in Sarawak — Kuching, Bintulu, Miri, Mukah and Kapit — by quotation, subject to schedule and capacity.
What does a renovation design studio in Sibu actually do?
ELS plans your layout, specifies materials and fittings, and coordinates the trades to one approved scope — before any building starts. ELS Design & Specification provides the agreed design deliverables. ELS+ takes responsibility for delivering the works included in its contract, using selected contractors and specialist trades.
How much does renovation design cost in Sibu?
ELS design and coordination starts from RM800 (excl. SST), depending on scope. It covers paid consultation, measurement and design support. A final construction cost can only be confirmed after site measurement.
Do I still need a contractor if I use ELS?
With Style Adaptation or Design & Specification, yes: you or your contractor build to the approved drawings, specifications and trade matrix, and ELS checks the hand-offs set in the commissioned scope, so everyone works to the same scope and the quotations stay comparable. Clients using independently appointed contractors must nominate a main contractor responsible for site management and trade coordination. ELS+ takes responsibility for delivering the works included in its contract, using selected contractors and specialist trades.
Why does design matter for Sibu homes specifically?
Sibu's humidity, monsoon rain, heat and terrace/shophouse layouts create risks that are easy to miss — swelling cabinets, waterproofing failures, trapped damp and sun-warped finishes. Resolving material, ventilation and waterproofing decisions on paper first helps identify the assumptions that could cause costly rework here.
Do you work in both English and Chinese?
Yes. ELS works in both English and Chinese (Mandarin), and all documents can be prepared bilingually so every decision is clear to you and to the trades.
