FAQ
Renovation Frequently Asked Questions
How long does renovation take in Singapore?
Most renovation projects take 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the scope of work, property type, material availability, and any required approvals. More extensive renovations involving custom carpentry, hacking, or structural changes may take longer.
Do I need renovation permits?
Yes, permit requirements depend on your property type and the renovation works involved. For HDB flats, certain works such as hacking walls, bathroom modifications, and flooring changes may require approval from the Housing & Development Board (HDB). For condominiums and private properties, approval may be required from the building management or MCST.
For major structural alterations, additional approvals from authorities such as the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) may also be necessary. It is recommended to check with your contractor and property management before commencing any renovation works.
Is cheaper renovation always better?
Depending on the renovation budget, lower costs often mean compromises in material quality, workmanship, or durability. It is important to evaluate both price and quality to ensure long-term value for the investment.
