Reuse is a manual question, not a storage fee

Last updated 31 October 2026.

“How to reuse a trade show booth” and “where to store it between shows” are logistics questions wearing a design hat. System-stand rental companies rank for them. We do not rent a modular system and we do not run a warehouse. If you store the crates, you store the crates. We will not invent a monthly square-foot rate for a space we do not have.

Reuse fails for a boring reason. The next show’s manual changes the height, forbids a floor fixing you used, or the stand is now a shell scheme whose walls you must not nail. The venue-rules guide is that reading. Suntec publishes floor plans. A plan is not a permit to rebuild last year’s wall. Singapore Expo and Sands Expo and Convention Centre issue their own manuals. Send the current one. We will not copy last year’s height into this page.

A modular wall you own can be worth keeping when the panels still match the grid and the graphics still say the right thing. A custom wall that was glued, painted and cut to one hall is often a strike, not an heirloom. We will say which of those the photo looks like. We will not promise the panels “pay for themselves” over a number of shows. That arithmetic is yours. The next build or the next alteration is quote on inspection on the booth page. There is no price per square metre.

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 double-storey reuse is not a favour because it stood last year. If this manual wants a submission, we do not sign it. An exit that the reused wall covers is a reason to cut the wall down or leave it in storage.

Graphics date. A logo change is a print, and the printer’s rate is not ours. Structure that is still square can take a new skin if the manual allows the skin. Fabric drapes are not the skin we price. A rigid panel you supply can be refitted. The shell-scheme note is the case where you do not own the walls at all.

Strike is the setup and teardown guide. We do not publish an overtime rate for a late dismantle. Label the crates yourself if you are keeping them. A crate with no contents list becomes a surprise at the next build-up. We do not publish a labour rate for “someone will sort it”.

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. A booth is not an HDB renovation. Do not mix the fine with a hall overtime story. A mall kiosk you hope to store is the landlord’s storage, not ours. The roadshow page is the kiosk quote.

Label the useful pieces before the truck leaves the hall. A panel that is square, a counter that still stands, and a graphic that still says the right name are the only candidates. A panel that was scribed to one column will not meet the next column. Write the show name on the crate and the manual year you built to. Next year, open the new manual first and the crate second. If the new manual disagrees with the crate, the manual wins and the crate stays shut. That sequence is the whole of the saving. We will not call a shut crate a discount.

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. Decide where the crates will actually sit.
2. Read the next manual before you pay to move the crates.
3. List what is structure and what is a graphic.
4. Do not nail a shell you do not own.
5. Quote the alteration. Do not ask for a reuse discount we do not print.

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

A modular system is panels on a grid you can reconfigure. A custom stand is built for one drawing. The booth page already says we do not sell a shell-scheme package. This note adds only the storage question: a grid you can reconfigure is the one worth keeping if you have somewhere to keep it. A one-off joinery wall is quote on inspection again next time, unless the pieces truly repeat and the manual allows them.

Rental furniture is the rental-versus-custom guide. We do not rent the furniture. Assembling a small item you already have is S$50 to S$80 only when it is small.

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.
• Photograph every panel before strike, with a tape. Memory is a bad inventory.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.
