Build-up and tear-down follow the timetable you were given

Last updated 31 October 2026.

Setup and dismantling are where booth quotes become late nights. The questions are how early you may enter, how late you must leave, and who pays if the carpet is still down at the deadline. Those answers are in the exhibitor manual. The venue guide says we will not copy a height or a fee from memory. This page says how to use the timetable once you have it. Homey Furnishing is not the hall. The build is quote on inspection. Tear-down is included only when the quote says it is.

Build-up is a window, not a mood. If the manual says raw space may start on a Tuesday and shell scheme on a Wednesday, that is the split. We will not arrive on the wrong day and argue. Freight lifts and contractor passes are booked the way the manual says. We do not publish the pass fee. If only badged crew may enter, unbadged visitors wait outside. Tools and panels have to fit the freight path. The same habit as an HDB lift applies, without pretending a hall door has an HDB size: measure the opening the manual or the freight note gives you. A wall panel that does not fit that opening does not get sawn in a gangway.

During the build, exits stay open. A wall that covers an exit sign is taken down, not argued. We do not certify the fire plan. Electrical distribution is the venue’s electrical order or a licensed electrician, not a carpenter’s extra. A television on a backdrop is the stage page: a bracket transfer at S$40 to S$70 is not a hall screen. Hired furniture arrives on the hirer’s clock. If their crew is late, that is their contract. We do not stand in for them unless the quote says we are assembling a piece that matches a band.

Hand-over is a walk, not a handshake. Open doors, look at edges, photograph a chip before the hall fills. The delivery checklist is the same habit. No warranty period and no response time are published. If something must be fixed before the show opens, say so while the tools are still there. After the show opens, a return visit is a new quote unless the original quote already included it.

Tear-down is the reverse window. The manual will say when power dies and when the hall must be clear. We do not publish an overtime rate for staying past it. If the hall charges the organiser, that charge is not our line. Waste leaves as the manual requires. We do not abandon timber in a hall aisle. A flat that is being struck is not an HDB bulky collection. HDB’s rules and shelter rules are for homes. BCA building works are for buildings. The strike follows the manual. A mall kiosk strike is the roadshow page and the landlord, not this hall clock.

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. Put the build-up and tear-down times in the first email.
2. Book passes and freight the way the manual says.
3. Measure the freight opening before panels are made.
4. Walk the booth before the show opens.
5. Do not assume overtime is included.

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

Write four lines: when raw space opens, when shell scheme opens, when the show opens, when the hall must be empty. Put the freight-lift booking beside them. If any line is blank, do not fill it with a guess from a previous show. Ask the organiser.

Our quote should name whether we are there for build only, or build and strike. A quote that is silent is not a promise to return at midnight.

Leave a clear path for the organiser’s carpet crew and for the hirer if they are still placing lounge sets. A finished wall that blocks their path gets moved, and the move is not free of risk to the graphic. Agree the order the night before: structure, electrics, furniture, then graphics if the manual allows graphics that late.

Keep one person who can answer “is this the booth” during build-up. A crew that cannot find the square loses the window. That person is yours, not a role we invent on the invoice.

We are not the official show contractor, not the organiser, and not the hall electrician. A labourer the organiser requires from their list is their requirement. We will not badge a crew as theirs.

We do not hire promoters or domestic workers for the booth. The job is the build. Curtains and a fabric drape are not the strike list we price.

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.
• Do not plan to “finish in the morning of opening” unless the manual allows that morning.

The clock is the manual’s. The build is a quote. Overtime charged by the hall is not listed here.

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.
