Assessing existing layout conditions to propose space-efficient configurations. We advise on themes and plan furniture placement to ensure comfortable movement, all while complying with HDB resale guidelines.
Designing and fabricating bespoke cabinets, wardrobes, and storage platforms tailored to fit the dimensions of older resale flats, integrating practical features like soft-closing systems.
Reconfiguring layouts, installing new tiles and sanitary fittings, and conducting vital waterproofing works. We replace outdated plumbing to ensure long-term durability and safety.
Planning ambient, task, and accent lighting. We select wall finishes, coordinate flooring options (vinyl, laminate, or tiles), and ensure switches are properly placed to enhance atmosphere.
Scheduling and coordinating all trades (carpentry, electrical, plumbing). We monitor daily progress, manage material deliveries, and conduct quality checks to ensure timely completion.
The Process
A resale flat involves multiple stages, from hacking to plumbing. Understanding the process helps manage expectations and coordinate key works.
Site assessment and measurement of the existing layout
Concept development and HDB permit submission (hacking/plumbing)
Masonry works (tiling, waterproofing, and floor installation)
Electrical wiring, lighting points, and power adjustments
Carpentry fabrication and built-in installation
Painting, final fittings, and clean-up before handover
Clarify if you prioritise storage, family layouts, modernising old fixtures, or improving lighting and ventilation.
Factor in the age of the unit and major rectification works like re-tiling or rewiring to set a realistic budget.
Determine if you need major rectification (waterproofing) or aesthetic updates (carpentry, flooring) for transparent pricing.
Choose a direction (Scandinavian, Japandi, modern) to guide the selection of colours, materials, and built-in carpentry.
