The constraint is the design

Last updated 31 October 2026.

These modifiers show up on shoebox, condo, HDB and landed searches. The furniture does not come first. A loft bed under a low ceiling fails the measurement. We do not publish the minimum. If you cannot sit up, do not buy it. A false ceiling that steals more height for aircon trunking is quote on inspection. There is no per-metre trunking rate. A fan or a light at a measured 3.6 m to 4.8 m is S$220 to S$380. A low ceiling does not get that row.

West sun is the film pages. Heat-rejection film is quote on inspection. We do not publish a percentage of heat stopped. The west-facing note already exists for HDB glass. A condo stack may need the MCST if the film changes the outside colour. We look at the product. Curtains and blinds are not the substitute we sell. An odd bay window is carpentry only after you decide the glass stays. A seat in the bay is quote on inspection. It must not stop the casement from opening. Window safety on an HDB flat is the window pages, and replacement is an approved window contractor. We are not that contractor.

MRT and expressway noise is the sound page’s own example. An interior secondary window is S$750 to S$2,800. The lead on that page runs the sound work from a door seal at S$280 to S$550 up to S$2,800 for the secondary window. Rockwool in a partition is S$850 to S$1,950. We do not publish how many decibels that buys. A secondary window stays inside the room, which that page says does not wait on an RW01 facade permit. It is not a new facade window. A bedroom door that leaks light at the bottom is the seal, not a new wall.

Ground floors and patios flood. Lifting a deck and flushing a scupper is S$280 to S$550 on the balcony deck page when that is the job. Rotted battens are S$350 to S$750 there. Do not lay a new interior floor over a patio that holds water. Damp rising in an old ground-floor condo is a leak question before a wardrobe. A wardrobe against a wet wall will swell. The sink-base lesson, S$280 to S$700, is what swollen board costs when a kitchen is the victim. A bedroom wardrobe is quote on inspection and should wait until the wall is dry.

Odd-shaped rooms are the shoebox note’s bay. Loose furniture first. A built-in that only fits this polygon is quote on inspection and is worthless in the next unit. Say if you rent. We will not fix to a wall you cannot alter. HDB hours apply only if the home is an HDB renovation. A condo is the MCST. A landed house is URA. The constraint does not change who the permission belongs to. Shelter walls stay bare if a shelter exists. An odd corner of a shelter is not storage.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt maintenance. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices hacking, a new layout, and other work that needs an HDB renovation permit. Homey Furnishing is not a Council for Estate Agencies licensed estate agent and does not sell, rent or market flats. It is not a Ministry of Manpower licensed employment agency and does not place helpers.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. This page also does not sell or rent the home, and it does not place a domestic worker.

Photograph the fitting before you buy a product or book a hack.

1. Name sun, noise, water, height or shape.
2. Visit at the hour the problem happens.
3. Use sound and deck rows only when the product matches.
4. Do not block the only window or a shelter.
5. Quote a built-in that exists only for this shape.

The building changes the permission. It does not invent a second price.

A quiet room, a cool room, or a dry room as a result figure. The products are the seal, the secondary window, the film, the deck flush and the decision not to build against a wet wall. If the track is the problem and the glass is already secondary, the next step may be nothing we sell.

An odd column in the living room can take a shelf or it can stay visible. Boxing it is quote on inspection. Boxing it so a valve or a clean-out disappears is refused. Photograph the services before the box is drawn.

A column in the middle of a living room can take a shallow shelf on the sides that are not the walking path. A deep wardrobe on the path is how people bruise a shoulder for years. We will draw the shelf only after you have walked the path on the photo. A bay window seat is quote on inspection and must leave the casement’s stay free. A stay repair is the window page, not the seat.

Ground-floor bedrooms near a bin centre or a driveway have smell and noise together. The door seal is the cheaper test, S$280 to S$550. If light still shows under the door, the seal was the right first step. A secondary window is the larger spend. Do both only if the first did not answer the complaint. We will not sell both as a package that promises silence. Start with the gap you can see. Light under a door is that gap.

How you're charged

A job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. The hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. There is no fuel surcharge. A whole-flat repaint, a private defect-scan fee, and a litre of a named paint brand are not in the catalogue.

Who is allowed to do the work

HDB’s important information on renovation says renovation in a flat, including some work that does not need a permit, is carried out by a contractor from the Directory of Renovation Contractors. The same page says failing to use a listed contractor for renovations, or breaching the renovation rules, can lead to a fine of up to $5,000. That sentence is HDB’s. It is not a ruling on your flat. Read the page before you treat a handyman visit as a renovation.

• Permit-exempt maintenance that already has a band, such as a hinge, a silicone joint or a small hole patch, stays on the Homey Furnishing invoice.
• Hacking, a new layout, and replacement of toilet finishes inside HDB’s restriction period move to V On Construction Pte. Ltd. UEN 201611708H. The price of that permit scope is quote on inspection.
• A new cable or a consumer unit is an EMA licensed electrician. A new water point is a PUB licensed plumber. Piped gas is a licensed gas worker.
• Window installation and replacement on an HDB flat is a BCA approved window contractor on HDB’s directory, with a renovation permit first. BCA describes workhead RW01. Homey Furnishing is not that contractor.
• Selling, renting or marketing the flat is estate agency work. CEA registers property agents. We do not do that work.
• A weekly cleaner on this site is not a migrant domestic worker placement. We do not hire out helpers.
• Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Photograph every mark before you book a full repaint. A hole that matches the S$150 to S$280 sentence does not need a whole-flat price.
• Put several permit-exempt tasks on one visit. The S$55 call-out is one task. Further permit-exempt time is S$45 an hour, not a second trip.
• Report a new-flat defect to HDB, or the developer if the contract says so, before you pay anyone to cover it.
• Do not hack a bathroom floor to “save” a later leak. HDB’s three-year restriction exists so the flat below stays dry.
• Stand in the room at 4pm if the complaint is heat, and with the window shut if the complaint is the train. A noon visit lies.

Constraints use existing rows. They do not add a difficulty percentage.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.
