A home worth the wait.

Interior design and renovation in Singapore since 2018. Fixed quotes, one designer from first meeting to handover, and a deposit that is protected.

Drawn before it is built.

Elevations, joinery sections and setting-out go to site with the quote. Nothing important gets decided by a carpenter at 8am.

Two thousand homes in.

HDB, BTO, condominium and landed. CaseTrust accredited, HDB licensed, and a Qanvast Supertrust winner every year since 2022.

The first four matter most to you. CaseTrust accreditation puts your deposit behind a protection scheme, and the HDB licence and RCMA membership are checked, not claimed.

What are you renovating?

Every property type has its own rules, timeline and budget. Start with yours and see the homes we have finished.

Workmanship

The things you will still be looking at in ten years.

Renovations rarely go wrong in the big moves. They go wrong at the joins. Here is what we check before we call a room finished.

Warm strip lighting recessed into timber display joinery at 101 Pasir Ris Street 12

Light lines that sit in the joinery, not under it

Strip lighting is recessed into the carpentry at the drawing stage, so you see the light and not the fitting.

Vertical fluted tile meeting a timber ledge on one clean line at Cavanagh Gardens

Edges that line up floor to ceiling

Tile joints, door frames and skirting are set out on one line. It costs more on site and it is the first thing you notice at a viewing.

Drawer fronts with even reveals and solid brass pulls at 265A Kim Keat Avenue

Doors and drawers that still shut in year five

Hardware is specified by weight and use, not by what the supplier has in stock that week.

What you get

Four things we put in writing.

A fixed quote before we start

Signed before anything is hacked. The price only moves if you ask for a change, and you sign that too.

One designer, first day to last

The person who takes your brief is the person walking your defects list. No handover to a site team you have never met.

Your deposit is protected

CaseTrust and RCMA accredited. Payments are tied to completed stages, not to a calendar.

Twelve months of aftercare

We walk the home with you at handover and again a year later. Defects in that window are ours to fix.

How it works

Six stages, and you always know which one you are in.

Typical HDB timeline. Condominium and landed programmes run longer and we will say so at the first meeting.

Day 0

First consultation

We meet at the unit or the studio, take your brief and give you an honest budget band. Free, no obligation.

Week 1

Concept and layout

Spatial planning and two or three layout options, with the reasoning for each.

Week 2 – 3

Drawings and fixed quote

Elevations, joinery drawings and the itemised quote you sign. Nothing is left to be decided on site.

Week 3

Materials and permits

Samples viewed in your unit under your light. We file HDB or MCST submissions on your behalf.

Week 4 – 12

Build and supervision

Our own coordinator on site. Weekly photo updates so you do not have to keep dropping by.

Handover

Defects and aftercare

Joint inspection, care notes for every finish, and a twelve-month check-in.

What owners say

Reviews, in their words.

Costs

Roughly what people spend with us.

What owners actually spend with us, averaged across our own completed projects. It covers design, carpentry, finishes and site supervision. Your quote is fixed once we measure.

PropertyTypical scopeTimelineAverage spend
4-room BTOCarpentry, flooring, painting, lighting8 – 10 weeksS$40k
Resale HDBFull hack, rewire, replumb, rebuild12 – 16 weeksS$50k
Resale condominiumKitchen, bathrooms, joinery, finishes10 – 14 weeksS$50k
Landed houseMulti-storey, A&A works, landscaping6 – 12 monthsFrom S$100k

Averages, not quotes. What moves the number is the amount of carpentry, the stone you pick and how much of the flat comes down. We will tell you which of those is driving your figure before you commit.

The studio

A showroom, our own carpentry, our own site teams.

Founded in Singapore in 2018, with more than two thousand homes behind us. Our showroom on MacPherson Road is a full floor, so you can stand in the finishes and open the drawers before you choose anything.

Carpentry is made in house rather than bought in, and the site is run by coordinators we employ. That is why the quote holds and the detail you approved is the detail that gets built.

Why owners choose us

Awarded for design, workmanship, service and value. The four things a renovation is actually judged on.

HomeTrust assessed us on all four and we won all four, in 2020 and again in 2026. Qanvast has given us Supertrust every year since 2022. We would rather be measured on that than on a moodboard.

Questions

The things people ask before they call.

How long will my renovation take?
A BTO usually runs eight to ten weeks from key collection. A resale flat with full hacking is twelve to sixteen. Condominiums depend on MCST working hours, and landed houses run in months rather than weeks. You get a dated programme with your quote.
What is actually included in the price?
Design and drawings, carpentry, hacking, masonry, tiling, plumbing, electrical, glass, painting, ceiling works and site supervision. Loose furniture, appliances and curtains are quoted separately so you can see what is what.
Do you handle HDB and MCST submissions?
Yes. We file the renovation permit, the hacking submission and any MCST paperwork on your behalf, and we work to the approved scope. We will tell you at the first meeting if something in your brief will not get approved.
When do I pay, and is my deposit safe?
Payments are staged against completed work, not dates. We are CaseTrust and RCMA accredited, which means the deposit sits under a protection scheme rather than on trust. The full schedule is in the contract before you sign anything.
Can I keep some of my existing carpentry?
Often, yes. We will look at condition and whether it can be refinished to sit alongside new work. Sometimes keeping it costs more than replacing it, and we will say so.
What if something goes wrong after I move in?
Message your project coordinator directly. Defects within twelve months of handover are ours to put right, and we do a scheduled check-in at the one-year mark whether you call or not.
