Two required fields. Tell us the flat and the timing, and the rest can come on the call.

Tell us about your flat

We reply within one working day.
Pick the closest. Resale flats and unusual layouts are fine, tell us in the message.
A rough answer is fine. It changes the sequence, not the price.
The BTO project name helps most. So does anything you already know you want changed.

What happens next

What you get back, and when

The short answer

You get a reply within one working day carrying two things: the questions we need answered before anyone can price the work, and an indicative cost band drawn from the dated sources on this site. The band is a range, never a quote.

One of us reads the enquiry, checks what your flat type and BTO project allow, and replies within one working day with two things: the questions we need answered before anyone can price the work, and an indicative cost band drawn from the dated sources on this site. That band is a range, not a quote. A quote needs a scope, and a scope needs the flat.

There is no phone number on this page on purpose. Renovation questions are answered badly in ninety seconds and well in writing, and an enquiry we can read is one we can price.

Before you send

Three things worth knowing first

The short answer

Nothing structural starts without a written HDB permit, restricted works run Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm only, and a new block must be finished within 3 months of the permit being granted. Each of those is linked to the HDB page it came from.

  • PERMIT

    Hacking always
    needs one

    All demolition and hacking of walls, partial or complete, needs HDB’s prior written approval before anything starts.

After you send

What we do, in order

  1. Scope and measure

    We walk the flat after key collection, measure every run, and write down what you want changed and what HDB will let you change.

    No charge Utilities account with SP Services must be open first

  2. Permit and drawings

    Your contractor files the electronic application. Wall demolition needs the flat’s floor plan submitted with it.

    HDB charges nothing for the permit itself Only a Directory of Renovation Contractors firm may file it

  3. Hacking and wet works

    Demolition, tiling and anything touching the bathroom happen first, inside the restricted-hours window.

    Making good the cut surfaces is a separate line Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm only

  4. Carpentry and finish

    Kitchen and wardrobe carpentry is fabricated to a fixed specification, then installed, then painted.

    Usually the largest single line item Complete within 3 months of the permit on a new block
