A carport or linkway cover, quoted as a new roof

Carport searches ask for a new mild-steel porch, a polycarbonate roof over a car, and a linkway between the gate and the door. A cover that has to be made is quote on inspection. We do not publish a price per car or per foot of porch. The pergola page is the open garden frame. If the point of the roof is a vehicle, it is this page. The metal fabrication page remains the general steel quote.

URA’s landed-house page says planning permission is not required to convert a car porch roof for use as an open balcony or garden if the parapet at the perimeter is not higher than 1 m, the parapet is visually porous, such as tempered glass or metal railings, and a lightweight screen along the common boundary is not higher than 1.8 m. That sentence is a conversion of a porch roof that already exists. It is not permission we issue, and it is not the price of a new carport. A new roof area is the question for a Qualified Person and for URA’s page, not a sentence we will stretch. 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 plan and we do not decide that a work is exempt. If the drawing changes a stair, a floor, a roof or a barrier, the owner asks that Qualified Person. We quote the metal after the permission is clear, or we stop.

An existing porch that leaks is the awning repair page. Wall flashing is S$350 to S$680. A choked gutter is S$280 to S$580. A cracked or yellowed polycarbonate or ACP bay of about 4 to 15 square metres is S$950 to S$3,200. A glass skylight edge is S$480 to S$1,100 on that page. Use those rows when the photo matches. A new carport is not “one bay” because someone hopes the repair price will cover a second car.

The gate under the porch is a different invoice. A dropped hinge is S$180 to S$350 on the autogate page when the leaf can be propped. A new leaf is quote on inspection on the metal page. An autogate motor is S$480 to S$950. Do not fold the motor into the roof. A boundary fence is the fence page, and URA’s 1.8 m enclosure sentence lives there. HDB flats do not grow carports in the car park. A shelter wall is refused. Clause 7.2 is the home shelter, not a porch post.

Send the number of cars the roof must cover, the wall you can fix to, the fall of the rain, and whether a porch already exists. We do not publish a column size or a drainage calculation. Standing water is the gutter repair, and we are not an NEA vector-control operator. Condo and cluster car porches are the MCST’s as well as the metal. BCA says strata works might need that approval. Curtains are not a carport wall.

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 new roof or a leaking existing roof.
2. Photograph the car, the wall and the gutter.
3. Do not treat URA’s porch-conversion sentence as a building price.
4. Keep the gate and the motor on their own pages.
5. Expect a quote for a new cover.

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

The material does not create a rate. A polycarbonate sheet, a metal tray, and open rafters are all quote on inspection when the frame is new. The only numbered sheet row is the like-for-like replacement on the repair page. We do not publish a brand of sheet or a UV-year warranty.

A walkway awning between the gate and the door is this page if it is a new cover, and the repair page if it is a cracked sheet on posts that stay. Say which. A glass canopy is the same quote, not the skylight reseal at S$480 to S$1,100 unless the photo is that edge.

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 the car and the wall. A gutter clean is not a carport.

New covers are quote on inspection. The numbers are repairs and a hinge weld.

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.
