A bar top is not a home sink base
A stainless bar, a service counter or a front-of-house top in a café is quote on inspection. A home sink base that stays is S$280 to S$700. Those are different rooms. Homey Furnishing is not a professional engineer. Gas and a new water point are licensed trades. We do not submit the fire-safety plan.

How it works
- 1
Send one photo of each piece, the block, and whether the home is HDB, condo or landed.
- 2
We match a band already printed on HomeySG, or we say quote on inspection.
- 3
A layout change, hacking, or a built-in strip-out is named as V On Construction. A truck is not included.
- 4
You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Curtains, blinds and roller shades stay off the booking.
What this job actually is
Bar-counter searches mix a home kitchen, a stainless fabrication plant, and an interior firm’s F&B portfolio. The stainless kitchen page is a residential or back-of-house bench that is quote on inspection, and it refuses to borrow the quartz price. This page is the front counter guests stand at: the bar die, the worktop and the steel frame under it. That is also quote on inspection. We do not publish a price per foot of bar.
Home rows stay at home. A sectional sink-base repair is S$280 to S$700 when the layout stays, on the kitchen cabinet page. A full kitchen replacement is S$5,000 to S$6,500 only when boxes, doors and layout change. A hinge is from S$38. None of those is a café bar. A quartz top for a typical HDB run is S$1,200 to S$2,500 on the stone page and is not a stainless bar top.
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 require approval, with plans submitted by Qualified Persons. A new exhaust, a suppression line or a change of use is that submission. We fabricate metal after the status is known. We do not file it. A bought hood fitted to an existing opening is S$140 to S$260 on the hob page. The duct page is the fabricated duct and is its own quote. Gas capping is a Licensed Gas Service Worker. A new water point is a PUB Licensed Plumber. We are neither.
A shophouse café is the conservation question before it is a bar. URA’s conservation guidelines require Conservation Permission before additions, alterations and a new use. If you are unsure, ask URA. We will not block a public walkway with a counter. HDB’s renovation page is the flat. A fine of up to $5,000 is HDB’s sentence when a renovation breaches those rules. V On Construction invoices an HDB permit when the work needs one. Homey Furnishing does not. A mall unit is the landlord’s fitting-out consent. We do not start because the equipment has a delivery date.
Send the plan length, the guest side, the staff side, and whether the top is steel, stone or timber on a steel frame. A mood board is not a length. Shelving behind the bar that is a shop gondola stays on the shop shelving page, where a gondola run is quote on inspection and showcase hardware is S$250 to S$550 only when that photo matches. Do not fold the showcase row into the bar.
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.
What to do first
Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.
- Say home kitchen or shop bar.
- Send the length and both sides.
- Keep gas, water and fire plans off the metal line.
- Ask URA before a conserved front is altered.
- Expect a quote. No price per foot.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| Soft sink base at home, layout stays | Kitchen page | S$280 to S$700 |
| New bar or service counter | This quote | quote on inspection |
| Bought hood, existing opening | Hob page | S$140 to S$260 |
| New duct or a change of use | Licensed submission | We do not file it |
HDB, condo and landed
The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.
| Question | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB flat | This is the kitchen page, not a bar. | Sink base S$280 to S$700 if it matches. | A café in a flat is the wrong assumption. |
| Shop or mall | Landlord or HDB shop consent first. | The bar is a quote. | Overnight S$380 to S$650 is one fix, not the bar. |
| Conserved shophouse | Conservation Permission before A&A and a new use. | We do not apply. | We will not block the walkway. |
Equipment that is not the counter
A fridge, a glasswasher and a coffee machine have their own trades. We will notch a steel top for a supplied piece when the cutout is dimensioned. We do not publish the machine. An induction cutout in quartz is S$250 to S$550 on the stone page and is not a stainless bar.
Staff standing on the guest side of a finished bar to “test the height” is not a design. You stand where you will work before we cut. We do not publish a correct bar height.
How you're charged
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.
| Charge | What it covers | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Published furniture band | The photo matches a row already on a furniture page | That row |
| Bed frame assembly | The bed row on the furniture assembly page | S$80 to S$150 |
| Wardrobe assembly | The wardrobe row, confirmed from photos | S$100 to S$650 |
| Cabinet door alignment | The hinge-adjustment visit on cabinet repair | S$50 to S$100 |
| Soft-close slides, 1 to 3 drawers | The drawer-runner page | S$110 to S$220 |
| Dining chair seats, 4 to 6 | Seat re-upholstery, not a new sofa | S$240 to S$480 |
| Custom carpentry, a truck, a full sofa re-cover, or rattan binding | No catalogue row for that product | quote on inspection |
Who may do the work
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
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 floor fall and the gas point before you ask for a bar length.
