SERVICE OVERVIEW
Service Overview
An HDB renovation may involve several rooms and trades, so the value of a clear scope is especially important. Instead of treating carpentry, finishes, lighting, plumbing and flooring as disconnected tasks, the project should be planned around the flat’s existing condition, household priorities and the order in which work needs to happen. We structure the renovation by area, identify connected works early and keep the scope transparent. Proposed work must also be checked against applicable HDB requirements before site execution.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all HDB renovation works require a permit?
No. Requirements depend on the work. HDB states that certain renovation works require prior written approval, while other works still have to comply with applicable renovation guidelines.
Can any contractor renovate an HDB flat?
HDB requires flat owners to engage contractors listed in its Directory of Renovation Contractors for HDB flat renovation work.
Can walls be hacked or removed?
HDB states that demolition or hacking of walls requires prior written approval. The proposed work should be checked before any such work starts.
Can electrical and plumbing work be included?
They can be coordinated within the renovation. Electrical work should be handled or supervised by an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker, and regulated plumbing work requires a PUB Licensed Plumber.
Can I renovate only selected rooms?
Yes. A focused scope can cover selected rooms or work categories, subject to the site condition and applicable requirements.
What helps you prepare the scope?
The HDB floor plan, current photos, a list of rooms to renovate, items to retain and preferred finishes are useful starting information.
