What the shophouse holds,
carefully kept.

The assessment is a single on-site visit to your shophouse. Pendora documents the original elements present — tiles, joinery, air wells, plasterwork, stair detailing — and produces a written report noting their condition and what is generally feasible to preserve, restore, or set aside. The report is yours to keep and share with contractors or other advisors.

The Detailed Heritage Interior Documentation typically spans four to eight weeks from the initial site visit, depending on the size and complexity of the shophouse. This allows time for measured drawings, specification writing, 3D views, and two rounds of owner review.

Not for the assessment or documentation stages. Pendora's design services are within the scope of non-regulated interior design practice. Where works require a submission to the Penang State Museum or relevant authority, Pendora can help you understand what that process involves and who to approach, but the submission itself is the responsibility of a registered architect or the relevant appointed professional.

Yes. The On-Site Coordination service is available independently if you already have drawings and a defined scope. Pendora will want a short briefing before committing — to understand the trades involved and the nature of the works — but prior documentation from Pendora is not a requirement.

The published service fees apply to properties in the George Town area. For shophouses in other parts of Penang island, a small travel supplement may apply. Please note this when enquiring and Pendora will confirm the applicable fee before any work begins.

Information submitted through the enquiry form is used solely to respond to your query and, where you agree, to keep in contact regarding your project. It is not shared with third parties outside of those directly involved in your engagement. Please read Pendora's Privacy Policy for full details.
