Site readiness,before ALUMAX cuts a board.

It means the conditions ALUMAX fabricates to are final and won't move: walls built and plastered, dimensions stable, electrical and plumbing points set and confirmed, floor level with the finished-floor decision sequenced, wet-area waterproofing fully cured, and safe access with working power on install day. ELS by ALUMAX checks each of these against the fabrication scope before the order is locked — because cabinets are cut to the site as measured, not as hoped.

Because ALUMAX cuts boards to confirmed dimensions and cut-outs to confirmed points. Once a unit is fabricated, changing the site means cutting finished cabinetry on the spot, refitting, or re-ordering a part — all of which cost you money and time. Getting the site true first is what keeps install clean and keeps your quotation from drifting into variations.

No. ELS coordinates and confirms readiness — we check, document and sign off, then take the final measurement that locks the ALUMAX order. The wall, plaster, tiling, flooring, waterproofing, electrical and plumbing trades are carried out by your contractor or appointed specialists. ELS holds them to one approved scope and the right sequence; we don't replace them.

We give you an honest no-go with a short list of exactly what's open — a point not yet set, waterproofing still curing, a floor not yet level — and we hold fabrication until those are closed. That's the whole point: a no-go before fabrication costs a revisit; a yes given too early costs cut cabinetry. We'd rather protect your order than protect the schedule.

Follow the membrane manufacturer's cure time for your system — it varies by product and by Sarawak humidity, and ELS confirms it on site rather than guessing. The principle holds regardless: drilling fixings or tiling over green, uncured waterproofing breaks the membrane, and in our climate the leak shows up months later behind the cabinet, where it's slowest and costliest to fix. We wait the cure out before any base unit install.

Yes. ELS can run the readiness check against the ALUMAX install scope even when your own contractor is doing the building works. We mark up what's set and what's open, give your contractor a clear sequencing note, and only take the final measurement once the site is true. That keeps the boundary between your trades and the ALUMAX install clean — and keeps responsibility for any gap in writing.

On a project basis, because the check depends on how much site there is and how many trades and wet zones touch it. The site measurement itself is from RM300 in Sibu and from RM500 outstation (excluding SST), creditable against your engagement on confirmation. If you're not sure whether your site needs this layer yet, start with the free Renovation Pre-Check — it maps what's true on site against your install scope.

SPC flooring is an ALUMAX-direct product, so the supply and lay sit with ALUMAX. ELS coordinates the readiness around it — confirming the floor is level and sequencing the finished-floor decision against the cabinetry so toe-kicks and door gaps land right. Broader flooring systems, screeding or levelling works are multi-trade and would be scoped separately on a project basis.
