Rebuild vs Buy: The Math

Prime Areas (PJ, Subang, Bangsar, Shah Alam)

CBRE projects Klang Valley prices rising 3-4% in 2025.

Rebuild If You:

• Own land in established areas
• Have 15-20% budget buffer
• Want custom layout
• Plan 10+ year ownership

Buy Instead If You:

• Need immediate occupancy
• Own land in emerging areas (savings only 5-15%)
• Limited budget flexibility

How Mankind Makes It More Affordable

Our one-stop service since 2017: LAM-licensed design, all permit submissions (DBKL/MBPJ/MBSA/MPSJ), demolition to CCC, direct material sourcing, in-house M&E team.

Making Your Decision

One Subang client rebuilt for RM780,000. Equivalent properties: RM1.3 million. Instant equity gain: RM520,000.

But beyond numbers, they gained control—custom layout, morning light in the kitchen, space for their growing family.

Ready properties = certainty and speed. Rebuilds = customization and superior returns in prime locations.

Now you know the real 2025 costs and timeline. The choice depends on your location, budget, and what you value more: speed or control.
