A metal pergola, quoted, and not called a pavilion by us

Pergola searches return garden structures, car-porch roofs and “patio covers” as if they were one product. A frame that does not exist yet is quote on inspection. We do not publish a price per square metre of pergola or a timber-versus-steel surcharge. The metal fabrication page is the general new-steel quote. This page is the open garden or yard frame. A carport that covers a vehicle is the carport page, so a car is not priced as a vine pergola.

URA’s landed-house page, updated on that site on 15 June 2026, says a new pavilion needs planning permission, and that a pavilion should be single-storey, freestanding and unenclosed on all sides with lightweight roofing. We will not tell you that your pergola is that pavilion, and we will not tell you that it is exempt. Read the page with a Qualified Person if the roof is new. 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 sheet that has cracked or gone yellow is not this page. The awning repair page replaces a polycarbonate or ACP bay of about 4 to 15 square metres at S$950 to S$3,200, reseals wall flashing at S$350 to S$680, and clears a choked gutter at S$280 to S$580. That page already says a new roof area is a different submission. Use the repair row only when the photo is that bay. A new pergola frame is the quote.

Water that sits in a gutter is the repair page’s NEA point, not a reason to invent a pergola price. We are not a vector control operator. NEA’s vector-control page is about operators, technicians and workers. Clearing a sagging gutter at S$280 to S$580 is the published repair when that is the job. It is not included because a pergola quote exists. A condo PES trellis is the MCST’s material match as well as the metal. BCA’s exemptions page says strata works might need MCST approval. An HDB service yard is HDB’s renovation rules, including a fine of up to $5,000 when a renovation breaches them. Do not bolt a pergola to a household shelter wall.

Send the post positions, the span, whether the roof is open rafters or a sheet, and who owns the wall you want to fix to. A neighbour’s wall is not your fixing. We do not publish a foundation depth. If the posts need new footings, that is part of the Qualified Person’s question, not a handyman extra. Curtains and a roller shade under the rafters are not sold here. A timber screen is carpentry and is quote on inspection on the carpentry pages, not a silent add-on.

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 frame or a cracked sheet on an old frame.
2. Photograph the span and the wall you want to use.
3. Read URA’s pavilion sentence before you call it exempt.
4. Keep gutter clearing on the repair page.
5. Expect a quote for a new pergola.

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

The aluminium fabrication page is the aluminium piece. The mild-steel page is the magnetic frame and the hinge weld at S$180 to S$350, which is a gate hinge, not a pergola post. Do not send a pergola and expect the hinge price. We do not publish a price per kilogram of either metal.

Powder coat, if you want it, is inside the quote. There is no colour chart with prices. Outdoor steel rusts. A primer on a hinge weld is not a coated pergola.

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.
• Say whether a roof already exists. A new frame is not a sheet swap.

A new pergola has no catalogue rate. Sheet and gutter rows are repairs.

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.
