What we do

Scope first, then a number

The short answer

We renovate HDB BTO flats: the full fit-out between key collection and moving in, plus the permit paperwork that has to be filed before any of it can start.

Most renovation quotes go wrong in the same place. A number is given before anyone has established what the flat allows, and the difference surfaces later as a variation.

Scope first, then a number

We work the other way round: what does HDB permit in this block, what does the layout actually need, and what does that scope cost against figures that are published and dated.

That is also why there is no price list on this site. A published package price is a number attached to a scope you have not agreed to yet.

How we source

Where every number here comes from

The short answer

Regulations come from HDB and link to the page they came from. Cost figures come from named third-party datasets and carry the date they were published.

Renovation content has a habit of repeating figures until they sound official. We do not do that. Every rule on this site is quoted from a primary source, usually HDB's own renovation guidance, and carries the date we read it.

How a figure gets onto a page

Every cost band is attributed to the dataset it came from, with its publication date, and is presented as a range rather than a quote. Where two sources disagree, both are shown rather than quietly averaged.

The full method is on how we source and check our figures, and the limits of what the figures represent are in the terms of use.

What we are not

Things this site deliberately does not claim

Illustrative image. This site publishes no photographs of completed projects, of anyone’s home, or of any team, and nothing here is a record of work we have carried out.

There are no customer reviews, star ratings or testimonials anywhere on this site, and no photographs presented as our completed projects. The interiors used are illustrations of a described style or material, captioned as such. When we have work and customers whose consent we hold, that will change, and it will be dated.

What we do not display

We also do not display a licence number, an accreditation badge or a registration ID. Those are publicly checkable in Singapore registries, and a badge that cannot be checked is worse than none.

What we do instead is tell you exactly how to check any contractor, including us: the requirement, the register, and the penalty for getting it wrong are set out on how to check an HDB renovation contractor.

Does this work need an HDB permit?

Decision path for whether HDB renovation work needs a permit Four questions in sequence. Any yes means a permit is required before work starts. Only a no to all four means no permit is needed, and the guidelines still apply. Does it touch a wall? Yes, permit No, next question Does it touch wet areas? Yes, permit No, next question Does it touch the floor screed? Yes, permit No, next question Does it change the building envelope? Yes, permit No, none needed Works needing no permit still follow the guidelines and the permitted hours.
The dividing line is not how big the job looks. It is whether the work touches structure, wet areas, the floor screed or the building envelope.

Why the figures carry dates

Renovation costs move, and a figure with no date attached cannot be checked or challenged. Every number on this site says when it was read.

When a source updates, the date is what tells you the page has not. That is the point of publishing it rather than quietly presenting figures as timeless.

What we will not do

Publish a price list, quote a number before seeing a scope, or display a credential we do not hold. Each of those is easy to do and hard to undo.
