ABOUT OUR HDB WORK

Full-Service HDB Renovation Across Singapore

Star Reno Vision handles HDB renovation works for BTO flats, resale flats, and executive apartments across Singapore. Our team manages the full scope — from space planning and material selection through to carpentry, flooring, tiling, painting, and the coordination of electrical and plumbing works — so you deal with one point of contact throughout.

Whether you are renovating a new BTO, refreshing a resale flat, or updating specific rooms like the kitchen or bathroom, we approach each project with a clear quotation, a realistic timeline, and practical advice that reflects how you will actually use the space. We do not overpromise on design or underestimate on costs. Our goal is a well-planned handover that matches the agreed scope, timeline, and budget as closely as possible.

As a licensed HDB renovation contractor (DRC No. HB-11-6262C) and BizSafe Certified company, we carry out HDB renovation works in line with applicable HDB renovation guidelines and submission requirements.

Renovation works are subject to HDB, BCA, SCDF, Town Council, and other relevant authority requirements where applicable. We assist clients by advising on the required process and coordinating with qualified or licensed parties where needed.
OUR SERVICES

HDB Renovation Works We Handle

We manage a wide range of renovation works for HDB flats. Below are the core service areas we cover.

HDB Full Home Renovation

Full flat renovation covering living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, finishes, and trade coordination from planning to handover.

HDB Kitchen Renovation

Kitchen carpentry, tiling, hacking, plumbing coordination, appliance placement, and finishing. We plan practical kitchen layouts, storage, carpentry, finishes, and appliance placement around daily use.

HDB Bathroom Renovation

Waterproofing, wall and floor tiling, fixture installation, plumbing coordination, and finishing works for bathrooms and toilets in HDB flats.

HDB Carpentry Works

Built-in wardrobes, TV feature walls, shoe cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and custom storage solutions. All carpentry is measured and made for your specific unit.

Flooring & Tiling

Vinyl plank, laminate, homogeneous tile, and ceramic tile works across living areas, bedrooms, and wet areas. Includes hacking of existing flooring where required.

Painting & Finishing Works

Interior painting, ceiling works, skim coating, and minor plaster repairs. We use paints suitable for Singapore’s climate and recommend practical finishes for daily living.

Electrical & Plumbing Coordination

We coordinate licensed electrical and plumbing sub-contractors for point additions, rewiring, new outlets, and piping works required during renovation.

Space Planning & Interior Design

Practical space planning and design advice to improve layout, storage, flow, and daily usability. We help with layout options, material selection, and design direction before work begins.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Why HDB Renovation Needs Proper Planning

HDB renovation is more regulated than private property renovation. Getting the planning right from the start avoids delays, cost surprises, and compliance issues.

HDB Renovation Rules & Guidelines

HDB has specific guidelines on what works are permitted, which walls can be hacked, noise hours, and floor loading. Your contractor must be familiar with and work in line with these requirements.

Permit Requirements Where Applicable

Certain works — such as hacking of walls, bathroom waterproofing, and electrical rewiring — may require submission to HDB or other relevant authorities before commencement. We assist with HDB submission where required and coordinate with qualified or licensed parties where applicable.

Clear Scope Before Work Begins

A detailed, written scope of works helps you understand exactly what is included in your quotation and avoids disputes over what was or was not agreed upon.

Realistic Timeline Planning

Full HDB renovations commonly take several weeks depending on scope, approvals, material lead time, and site conditions. Rushing the schedule to meet a move-in date often leads to quality issues. Plan your timeline with realistic buffers.

Variation Costs

We explain variation costs clearly and seek confirmation before proceeding with additional works. Any scope changes or additions are quoted separately and confirmed in writing before work proceeds.

Trade Coordination

Renovation involves multiple trades — carpentry, tiling, electrical, plumbing, painting. Poor sequencing between trades leads to rework and delays. A single coordinator managing all trades reduces this risk.

BEFORE YOU START

Before You Start Your HDB Renovation

Four things to check before committing to any contractor or scope of works.

☑

Check Which Walls Can Be Hacked

Not all walls in an HDB flat can be hacked. Structural walls and certain party walls are restricted. Confirm with us before planning any wall removal or opening.

☑

Confirm HDB Submission Requirements

Certain works require submission to HDB or other authorities before work begins. We advise on what submissions are needed and coordinate with qualified or licensed parties where applicable.

☑

Plan Renovation Timing Around Permits

Account for permit approval timelines, material lead times, and trade scheduling. Rushing a renovation to meet a move-in date often leads to avoidable quality or compliance issues.

☑

Set a Clear Written Scope

A detailed written scope of works protects you throughout the project. It defines exactly what is included, what is excluded, and how any variation works will be priced and confirmed.

Send us your floor plan and we’ll advise what to check first.

HOW WE WORK

Our HDB Renovation Process

A structured process that keeps your renovation on track from the first consultation to the final handover.

1

Floor Plan / Site Review

We review your floor plan and, where possible, visit the unit to understand the existing layout, condition, and constraints before recommending any works.

2

Understanding Your Budget & Priorities

We discuss your renovation budget and what matters most to you. This guides how we allocate spend across different areas of the flat.

3

Design Direction & Scope Planning

We provide practical design direction — layout options, material recommendations, carpentry design — and confirm the full scope of works before quoting.

4

Quotation Preparation

A clear quotation covering the agreed scope of works, with key inclusions and exclusions explained before signing.

5

Submission Where Required

Where HDB, BCA, SCDF, Town Council, or other authority submissions are required, we assist with the process and coordinate with qualified or licensed parties where applicable.

6

Renovation Works & Coordination

We manage all trades on site — carpentry, tiling, electrical, plumbing, painting — and keep you updated on progress. Site visits are available throughout the project.

7

Final Checks & Handover

We conduct a final walkthrough with you before handover to ensure all works are complete to agreed specifications. Defects identified during the walkthrough are rectified before closing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

HDB Renovation FAQ

Do I need an HDB licensed contractor for renovation in Singapore?

Yes. HDB requires that certain renovation works — such as hacking of walls, structural modifications, bathroom waterproofing, and plumbing works — be carried out by an HDB-approved licensed contractor. Star Reno Vision holds DRC No. HB-11-6262C. Always verify your contractor’s licence status before signing any agreement.

Are all HDB renovation works allowed?

No. Some works are restricted, regulated, or require prior approval from HDB or other authorities. Before starting, we review the proposed scope and advise what can be done, what may require submission, and where qualified or licensed parties are needed.

Do structural or major alteration works require special approval?

Yes. Structural-related, civil, or major alteration works may require approval from the relevant authorities and involvement of a Qualified Person, Professional Engineer, or other licensed parties. We will advise and coordinate where applicable, but such works must follow the required regulations.

Can Star Reno Vision help with HDB renovation submissions?

Yes. Where HDB, BCA, SCDF, Town Council, or other authority submissions are required, we assist with the process and coordinate with qualified or licensed parties where applicable.

How long does an HDB renovation usually take?

Full HDB home renovations commonly take several weeks depending on the scope, approvals required, material lead time, and site conditions. A kitchen-only or bathroom-only project typically takes less time. We provide a realistic timeline in our quotation so you can plan your move-in date accordingly.

Can you work within my renovation budget?

Yes. We tailor the scope of works to your budget and priorities. Before quoting, we review your floor plan and discuss what matters most so the quotation reflects practical, achievable outcomes within your budget — without padding the scope unnecessarily.

Do you handle both interior design and renovation works?

Yes. We provide integrated renovation and interior design services. This means you work with one team for space planning, material selection, carpentry design, and all renovation works — reducing coordination issues that arise when using separate ID and renovation firms.

Can I send my floor plan before meeting?

Yes, and we encourage it. Send us your floor plan, photos, or renovation ideas via WhatsApp at +65 8200 7042 or through our contact form. We review your requirements before the first meeting so the consultation is more focused and productive from the start.

Do you provide free site visits or consultations?

Yes. We offer free site visits for homeowners who are planning renovation works. Contact us to arrange a visit at your flat. A site visit helps us understand your unit’s existing condition and constraints before recommending a scope or cost.

What should I prepare before starting an HDB renovation?

Before your first consultation, it helps to have: your flat’s floor plan (available from HDB’s MyHDBPage), a rough budget range, a list of priority areas, and your expected handover or move-in date. We will guide you through the rest of the planning process from there.
