Read these headings. Do not copy last year’s numbers

Last updated 31 October 2026.

Exhibitor checklists online are templates from stand builders in other countries. They are useful as a list of topics and useless as Singapore rules. This page is only the list of headings to find in the manual you were actually issued. When you find the number, send that page. We will follow it. We will not type it into this article, because the next show will make the sentence false.

Look for these headings. Maximum height, and whether a hanging sign counts. Floor fixing: what may be taped, what may be drilled, what a raised floor must do. Carpet: who orders it, and whether you may bring your own. Rigging: who owns the points, whether you may hang at all, and any load the venue states. Lighting: whether the venue’s contractor must do the hang. Electrical order: the form, the deadline, and who invoices the power. We do not mark up a kilowatt rate we do not issue. Build-up window and whether a night slot exists. Passes and whether unbadged crew are turned away. Freight lift and vehicle dock. Strike deadline and what happens if you are still there. Storage of empties, if the hall offers it. Insurance the organiser asks the exhibitor to hold. We are not the insurer.

Night load-in is one of those headings, not a product we sell. Searches for a night move-in at a Singapore hall did not return a rule we could quote, so we will not invent a curfew or an overtime dollar. If your manual has a night page, that page is the rule. The mall overnight handyman row, S$380 to S$650, is a shop in a mall. It is not Expo at 2am.

Suntec Singapore publishes floor plans. Use the plan to see which hall you are in. Do not use it as permission to drill, to rig, or to stay late. Singapore Expo and Sands Expo and Convention Centre were not given a single rule on the venue-rules guide for the same reason: the manual is the show’s. The setup guide is the order of work. It also refuses an overtime rate.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. is not a professional engineer, not an architect, and not a Qualified Person. BCA’s page on works that do not need plan approval says a Qualified Person is an architect registered with the Board of Architects, or a professional engineer registered with the Professional Engineers Board, holding a valid practising certificate. We do not sign a structural calculation and we do not decide that a frame is exempt. If the work is building work, the owner asks that person. We quote the metal after the answer is clear, or we stop. SCDF’s plan-approval page says proposed fire safety works require approval and that plans are submitted by Qualified Persons. If your manual points at a submission for a double storey, a covered ceiling or a rigged piece, we do not sign it. A booth that covers an exit sign is refused. Household-shelter clause 7.2 is a home rule. It is the wrong document in a hall. Say so if a template mixes them.

Shell walls you do not own are the upgrade note. Do not nail them while you are still reading the checklist. Raw space is the booth page and is quote on inspection. There is no 3-by-3 package on this site.

HDB’s renovation page is a flat, not a hall. A fine of up to $5,000 is HDB’s sentence when a renovation breaches those rules. It is not an exhibition overtime fee, and we do not publish one. Do not paste HDB’s fine into a hall dispute. Do not paste a hall overtime into an HDB flat. A small flat-pack on the stand is S$50 to S$80 only when it is small. It is not the stand.

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. Download this show’s manual, not last year’s.
2. Tick the headings above and screenshot each answer.
3. Send those pages with the drawing.
4. Do not fill a blank with a number from a blog.
5. Expect a quote after the pages arrive.

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

Carpet versus a raised floor is a heading in the manual, not a debate we settle. Some halls want their carpet contractor. Some allow a platform if the edge is safe and the height is inside their limit. We do not publish either limit. A platform people can fall from needs the edge the manual asks for. The stair page’s 1.0 m sentence is a building barrier already stated for buildings. The venue guide already says it is not a licence to ignore a temporary-deck rule that differs.

Lighting rigs follow the same pattern. If the manual says only the venue’s rigger may hang, we do not hang. We do not publish a lux level. A practical lamp on a counter you can reach from the floor is still part of the quote only if the manual allows you to bring it. Say which case you are in.

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.
• Send the PDF page, not a recollection of the last show.

This checklist has no hall fees. The build is quote on inspection.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.
