Typical 2026 market ranges. Resale condos cost more because old kitchens, bathrooms and wiring usually have to come out first.

Prices exclude furniture, appliances and any PE endorsement your MCST asks for. A partial renovation is often the better value in a new condo, since the developer finishes are usually sound. For hacking items, try our hacking cost calculator.

A condo is a strata development, so your management corporation (MCST) has a say in renovation work. What we can confirm from BCA:

• MCST approval. BCA notes that for strata developments such as condominiums, the MCST's approval might be required for renovation works, on top of any approvals from other authorities.
• Conditions. Under section 37(4) of the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act, the MCST can impose conditions before it approves renovation works inside your unit, to protect beams, columns and shear walls.
• Structural works. Demolition involving structural elements needs plans approved by the Commissioner of Building Control and a permit to start, with a Qualified Person supervising.
• Non-structural demolition. For demolition other than floor tiles, BCA advises MCSTs to ask for renovation plans endorsed by a Professional Engineer (Civil or Structural) certifying that no structural works are involved.

The renovation deposit, permitted working hours, lift protection and debris rules are set by each MCST in its by-laws and renovation guidelines, so they differ from condo to condo. Ask your management office for the current renovation form and rules. We plan the schedule around them and submit the contractor details your MCST needs.

• Building and finishing works such as hacking, tiling and waterproofing: Renovation works are carried out by our partner V On Construction Pte. Ltd., listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors.
• Electrical works such as new power points and rewiring: an EMA licensed electrical worker.
