A carpenter platform bed is not the IKEA frame price

Custom platform bed and tatami bed searches return workshops and carpentry galleries. Some of them print a bed price. That price is not measured here, so it is not copied. The beds HomeySG can price are the ones in the assembly catalogue. A MALM or HEMNES frame, or any other frame that is still that kind of frame, is S$80 to S$150. A storage bed or a bunk is S$120 to S$200. If the base lifts and the struts will not hold it, a pair is S$180 to S$380. A plywood box built to a niche, a tatami platform with drawers that were made in a workshop, and a bed that wraps a column are quote on inspection. The IKEA bed page is the carton. This page is the carpenter bed.

Headboards split the same way. A built-in headboard panel recovered on site, when the vinyl has cracked and the panel is still fixed, is S$380 to S$850. That recovers cloth. It does not build a new platform. A loose upholstered head you want made from scratch is quote on inspection. Do not ask for the headboard band on a bed that does not exist yet.

Singapore bedrooms trap moisture under a solid plinth. A storage bed pushed against an outside wall can cup if the plinth is sealed to the floor and the room never dries. We will not close a weep path the flat needs, and we will not skin over parquet that is already black. A localised parquet patch is S$250 to S$580 for 1 to 3 square metres on the floor page when that is the damage. Bed assembly does not include sanding the floor. If the black patch is under the spot where the new plinth would sit, fix the floor first or leave a gap the air can use. The materials guide explains why a hollow core and a solid plank behave differently. It does not price the timber.

Taking the bed apart later is not the assembly row run backwards. Dismantling is quote on inspection. A loose frame can leave with a mover you hire. A platform screwed to the wall can become a strip-out, and that is V On Construction when an HDB permit applies. HDB’s renovation page is the rule for that renovation, including the fine of up to $5,000 when the renovation rules are breached. A loose frame is not that renovation. Clause 7.2 still refuses screws into a household shelter wall, including a headboard someone wants “just into the shelter”. BCA plan approval is not required for a loose bed. It is the wrong place to hide a new structural opening.

Tatami height is a door problem, not a style problem. A platform that is high enough to store boxes can stop the bedroom door, the wardrobe door, or both. Measure the door swing with the mattress thickness included. The mattress is not our product and we do not print a mattress price. Say the mattress height you actually own. A tatami that is only a floor mat you bought is not this page. If you want the mat on a carpenter base, the base is the quote. Curtains around the bed are not included.

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 carton, storage bed with failed struts, or carpenter platform.
2. Photograph the niche, the shelter wall and the door swing.
3. Include the mattress height in the measurement.
4. Do not seal the plinth if the floor under it is already damp.
5. Expect the assembly band only when the photo is that product.

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

Drawers under a platform are the reason people leave a showroom bed. If the drawers are in a carton and the photo matches the storage-bed row, that row is the price. If a carpenter is building the drawers to the leftover width beside a column, it is quote on inspection. Soft-close slides for one to three drawers, when the drawers already exist and only the runners have failed, are S$110 to S$220 on the drawer page. New drawers in a new carpenter bed are not that repair.

Gas struts are the same test. S$180 to S$380 is a pair for a storage bed that will not stay up. It is not added to every platform because someone might want the base to lift. If the base does not lift, do not buy struts. Say so in the photo.

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.
• Do not seal a solid plinth to the floor over a parquet patch that is already black. The floor has to dry.

Assembly rows apply only to the product they name. A carpenter platform is quote on inspection.

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.
