Send dimensions. We do not publish a number of days

Last updated 31 October 2026.

“How long does custom metal fabrication take” is a question this site will not answer with a number. Shops on the search results print their own weeks. Those weeks are not ours. A day count that is not measured against your drawing would be a fiction. Homey Furnishing does not publish a lead time, a queue, or a “standard” number of site visits. The quote says what is being made. It does not invent a calendar.

What the drawing needs, if you want a price rather than a conversation, is plain. Overall width, height and depth. The metal, if you already know it: mild steel, stainless or aluminium, and that choice is the materials note, not a surcharge table. Thickness if a Qualified Person has already set it. Where it fixes, with a photo. Which existing piece it replaces. What it must not hit: a door, a shelter wall, an exit, a neighbour’s ledge. A file name is not a dimension. A WhatsApp voice note is not a drawing.

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. If the piece is a stair, a rail people rely on, a floor, a roof frame or a mezzanine, the drawing is theirs to sign when the work needs it. We will not back-calculate a section size to make a picture stand up. BCA’s page points owners at the First Schedule for insignificant works. We do not recite it from memory. SCDF says proposed fire safety works are submitted by Qualified Persons. We do not submit them.

Repairs that already have a row do not need a fabrication drawing. A dropped hinge on a leaf that can be propped is S$180 to S$350 on the autogate page. A loose handrail re-anchor is S$250 to S$480. A shutter track realignment is S$250 to S$480 and is a metal shopfront shutter, not a fabric blind. Sending those photos is faster than sending a CAD file. A new leaf, a new rail or a new frame is quote on inspection on the fabrication pages. CNC or laser time is not a rate we publish. The sheet-metal page already says there is no pierce rate and no machine hour.

Powder coat and galvanising change the route the steel takes, and they still do not produce a day count here. A coat on a new piece is inside that piece’s quote. A galvanising plant’s tank is their tariff. Ask them for their own time. We will not add it up and call the sum a Homey lead time.

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. An exhibition prop has a different clock, and it is the organiser’s build-up window, which we also do not copy onto this page. Send the manual. The checklist is the list of headings to look for. It is not a programme we guarantee.

When the drawing is enough, the reply is a quote or a refusal. A refusal is useful: missing thickness, a shelter wall, a facade screw, a roof that is not yours. We do not fill the gap with a week. If someone on another site promised five days, that promise is theirs. Compare drawings, not slogans.

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. Write width, height and depth.
2. Name the metal or say you want it recommended only as a quote option, not as a fact.
3. Photograph the fixing.
4. Separate a repair row from a new piece.
5. Do not ask for a day count this site does not print.

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

A render, a Pinterest crop, and a “same as last time” are the three files that come back. Last time had a width. This opening may not. Measure this opening. If the piece must come up a stair, say so before it is welded in one length. We do not publish a crane rate for a piece that will not pass a door.

Shop drawings we mark up are still your designer’s drawings if a Qualified Person issued them. We do not become that person by adding a weld symbol.

It means the piece is made to the sizes you send, not picked from a carton. It does not mean a guaranteed week, a certified weld procedure we have not been asked to follow in writing, or a warranty in years. None of those are printed on this site.

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.
• A render with no scale is a picture. Add the three sizes before you ask when.

Repairs have rows. A new piece and a calendar do not.

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.
