Hired event furniture is not our warehouse

Last updated 31 October 2026.

Event searches pair “furniture rental” with “custom booth”. They are different companies. Homey Furnishing does not rent furniture for a show, a roadshow, or a flat. The home rental guide already says we are not a monthly furniture hire firm. This page is the show. A hirer’s catalogue, their delivery fee and their damage waiver are theirs. We will not reprint them.

What we can do with hired stock is limited. If it arrives as a flat-pack and it is genuinely a small item, assembly is S$50 to S$80. A bed frame, if someone has hired a carton bed, is S$80 to S$150 to assemble. A wardrobe carton is S$100 to S$650. Most exhibition lounge sets are not those products. A stack of banquet chairs, a crate of trestles, or a modular lounge that the hirer’s own crew is contracted to build is their crew. Read the hire contract before you book us to “just assemble it”. If the contract says their crew must do it, we will not override them.

Custom means we make it. A counter, a plinth, an acrylic riser, a timber wall. That is quote on inspection on the booth, acrylic, or backdrop page. It is not hired, and it is not returned to a warehouse of ours, because we do not run that warehouse. Tear-down is part of the quote when you include it. Waste leaving the hall follows the manual. We do not publish the hall’s disposal fee.

Mixing the two is normal and is how invoices get confused. A hired high table plus a custom branded counter plus a printed backdrop are three lines. The high table is the hirer. The counter is our quote. The print may be a printer. Write them on separate lines before build-up. A single “furniture package” that hides all three is the quotation problem the carpenter guide already warns about, moved to a hall. What to ask still applies: what is included, what is excluded, who removes it.

The hall does not care that the sofa was hired. If the manual forbids it, it is forbidden. Venue rules are that reading. We are not the organiser. BCA and HDB do not set banquet-chair prices. Shelter rules are for homes. A gangway in a hall stays clear whether the chair is hired or built. Curtains hired as a drape are not our product.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt furniture assembly and repair. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices an HDB renovation permit when the work is a new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out. Homey Furnishing is not a removal company and does not publish a truck rate.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. Fabric window treatments are a different product, and these pages do not quote them.

Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.

1. List hired items and custom items on separate lines.
2. Read who the hire contract says must assemble.
3. Do not expect S$50 to cover a lounge crate.
4. Put tear-down in the quote if you want us to do it.
5. Send the hall manual with the list.

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

A hire company’s damage waiver is their contract. If we assemble a small pack and a panel is already cracked in the crate, photograph it before it is built. That photo is the delivery checklist idea, moved to a hall. We do not accept their waiver as our warranty. We do not publish a warranty period.

A custom piece we build is quote on inspection, not a hire. Defects you can see at hand-over are the same snag note: photo, plain words, same day. No response time is published.

Write the booth number on the hire delivery and on the custom pieces separately. A hirer who cannot find the booth will not leave the lounge in the aisle for us to identify. A custom counter with no booth number will be built in the wrong square. The manual’s freight note is the place those labels have to match.

If the hirer delivers early and the hall will not accept the crate, that storage problem is between them and the hall. It is not an assembly visit and it is not a reason to open the crate in the car park.

If the show is one day and the hirer’s stock fits the manual, building a timber counter can be the slower path. We will say so if the drawing is a standard table you could hire. We will not pretend a quote is always the better buy. We also will not invent the hirer’s price to prove it.

If the brand needs a specific length that no crate contains, the custom line is the honest one. Send the length. The size still has to pass the freight lift. The lift guide’s habit applies: measure the opening you were given, do not assume a hall door.

How you're charged

A furniture job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. Nothing in this table is a fuel surcharge, and the handyman hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. IKEA publishes its own checkout fee. That percentage is not a HomeySG band.

Who is allowed to do the work

The permit guide on this site already splits hardware from a renovation. A cabinet hinge, a gas strut and a drawer runner do not need an HDB renovation permit when the layout stays. A new kitchen or bathroom layout, hacking, or removing a wall does. Fines for unauthorised work are already written there as up to S$5,000. Homey Furnishing does not sign the permit invoice.

• Flat-pack assembly uses the furniture assembly catalogue. Tall units are wall-anchored on that visit. A separate anti-tip price is not printed, except the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420 when that bundle is the job.
• A built-in that has to come off the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction if the flat is HDB and the work needs a permit. A loose shelf inside a carcass is not a strip-out.
• Town councils collect some bulky loose items on their own rules. We are not the collector, and we do not publish their fee.
• A new cable inside a wardrobe is an electrician. Assembly does not include a new circuit.
• Do not anchor into a household shelter wall. The permit guide already keeps TV brackets and shelves off that wall.
• A hollow partition or a false ceiling is a poor anchor for a tall wardrobe. If the fixing cannot reach structure, the visit stops.
• Active termites are not painted over. Skirting and door-frame replacement after damage uses the termite page bands. We do not claim to be the pest-control operator.
• Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not quoted here.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Photograph every piece before a carpenter is booked. A hinge visit is not a new kitchen.
• Put the flat-pack in the room where it will stand. Carrying a built wardrobe down an HDB corridor is a second job.
• If the drawer only sticks, use the published slide row. A new carcass is the cabinet page, and only when the board is swollen.
• Book the town council bulky slot before you pay anyone to truck a loose sofa. Many councils collect a limited number of loose items. Built-ins are usually excluded.
• Ask the hirer who assembles their stock. Do not assume our assembly band covers a crate of banquet chairs.

Hire rates are not ours. Assembly bands apply only to the products they name.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630. The reply uses a band already printed on HomeySG, or it says quote on inspection.
