A short lease is not a weekend booth

Last updated 31 October 2026.

Pop-up searches mix a short shop lease, an atrium kiosk, and a fabric display someone can buy online. The roadshow page is the kiosk and the void-deck booth: quote on inspection, and we are not the landlord or the town council. This note is the other object: a unit with a door, a short lease, and joinery that has to look like a shop for weeks rather than a stand for three days. That fit-out is also quote on inspection. We do not publish a price per square foot of shop or a “pop-up package”.

Rent, a percentage of sales, and a deposit to the mall are the landlord’s. Listings that rank for “pop-up store rental” are space brokers. We do not broker the space and we do not mark up their rent. Ask them for the empty unit. Ask us for the counter, the wall and the frame after their fitting-out rules are in the email.

What usually differs from a booth: a shop has a shutter or a glass front that already exists, a water point, and a landlord checklist. A metal shopfront shutter that only needs its track realigned is S$250 to S$480 on the shutter page. A new shutter is quote on inspection. It is not a fabric blind. A booth has a manual and a build-up window. Do not use Expo’s language on a mall unit, and do not use a mall handbook as an Expo height.

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 says proposed fire safety works are submitted by Qualified Persons. A new exhaust for a food pop-up is the duct page and that submission, not a furniture extra. A bought hood on an existing opening is S$140 to S$260. We are not the gas worker. 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 It is not an exhibition overtime fee, and we do not publish one.

The overnight page is 10:30pm to 5:00am, S$380 to S$650 for permit-to-work admin and one carpentry or hardware fix. A fit-out is more than one fix. Book it as a quote. A gondola inside the shop is the shop shelving page: the run is quote on inspection, and showcase hardware is S$250 to S$550 only when that photo matches.

Atrium rules are the centre’s. One search result pointed at URA for temporary uses. We did not get a readable URA page that states a mall-atrium fee, so we will not invent one. If URA or the landlord has written a condition, send the PDF. We follow that PDF. We do not summarise it from memory.

Send the unit plan, the lease length only so we know this is a shop and not a Saturday booth, and the pages of the handbook on drilling, nights and reinstatement. Reinstatement at the end is part of the conversation before we build, not a surprise. We do not publish their reinstatement deposit.

A weekend booth that “might become a shop” is still a booth until the lease exists. Do not ask the roadshow drawing to grow a store room, a water point and a shutter and keep the same sentence. Write two scopes if you truly have both: the Saturday stand, and the unit you have signed. Each is quote on inspection. Staff uniforms, a POS system and the products on the shelf are not joinery. A shelf that is a gondola is the shop shelving page. Say so if the fit-out is mostly racks and the counter is short.

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. Say shop unit or atrium booth.
2. Attach the fitting-out rules.
3. Keep rent off our quote.
4. Separate a shutter repair from a new counter.
5. Expect a quote for the joinery.

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

A counter that only displays goods is joinery. A counter that needs gas, a hood and a drain is the bar-counter page plus the licensed trades. Do not let a stylist’s “coffee bar” hide a gas point. Say whether anything burns or drains.

Conservation shophouses add URA’s permission before alterations and a new use. We do not apply. We will not block the walkway.

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.
• Bring the landlord’s fitting-out rules with the floor plan. A mood board does not replace them.

Neither the shop nor the booth has a package price. A few repairs do.

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.
