What Influences Renovation Costs in Singapore?

The cost of renovating a home depends on several factors, from the property type to the specific work involved. Here's a breakdown:

1. Property-Related Factors
   
   • Type of Home:

     Renovating a condominium can sometimes cost less than an HDB flat, as condos often come pre-fitted with essentials like flooring and storage, saving on carpentry and tiling.

   • Age of Your Property:

     Renovating older condos and HDB flats tends to be pricier due to additional repairs or upgrades required. Renovation costs for resale HDB flats can exceed new BTO flats by $2,000 to $14,000.

   • Size of Your Home:

     Larger homes typically incur higher costs. For example, renovating a 5-room BTO flat can cost $8,000 more than a 3-room flat.

2. Work-Related Factors

   Renovation works account for most of the costs. Here’s an overview:

   • Hacking (Demolishing/Rebuilding Walls) : $400 – $700
   • Masonry (Tiling & Flooring) : $1,300 – $3,000
   • Carpentry (Shelves, Cabinets, and Storage Fixtures) : $3,400 – $6,100
   • Electrical Works (Lighting, Power Points, Heaters) : $1,700 – $3,200
   • Painting (Walls & Ceilings) : $200 – $1,400
