| Scope | Typical budget | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh (paint, vinyl overlay, light carpentry) | $15k – $25k | 3–4 weeks |
| Standard renovation (kitchen, 2 bathrooms, flooring, carpentry) | $30k – $42k | 6–8 weeks |
| Full transformation (rewiring, re-tiling, layout change) | $42k – $52k | 8–10 weeks |
Indicative ranges from completed projects; resale flats trend toward the upper end, BTOs toward the lower. Full breakdowns in our HDB renovation cost guide.
Most older 3-room kitchens are enclosed. Removing the non-structural partition (with HDB permit) and adding a peninsula counter transforms the entire common area.
One wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry stores more than three loose wardrobes and makes the room feel taller, not smaller.
Two or three finishes used consistently — light oak, warm white, one accent — make 60 sqm feel calm and continuous rather than busy.
In compact bedrooms, a platform with drawers replaces a bedframe plus dresser, freeing floor area for a workspace.
