A steel planter is a quote, not a waterproofing visit

A mild-steel, stainless or aluminium planter that has to be made is quote on inspection. The planter waterproofing page is a leak in a box that already exists. Homey Furnishing is not a professional engineer. We will not say one metal never rusts in Singapore rain.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send one photo of each piece, the block, and whether the home is HDB, condo or landed.

  2. 2

    We match a band already printed on HomeySG, or we say quote on inspection.

  3. 3

    A layout change, hacking, or a built-in strip-out is named as V On Construction. A truck is not included.

  4. 4

    You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Curtains, blinds and roller shades stay off the booking.

What this job actually is

1. Box exists or it does not 2. A leak stays on the wet page 3. A new box is a quote 4. The balcony is the MCST’s
Repair the leak, or make the box

Planter searches mix a waterproofing contractor, a nursery, and a metal workshop. The planter waterproofing page is the leak. This page starts when the box has to be fabricated. That is quote on inspection. We do not publish a price per metre of planter or a soil volume.

Which metal is the materials note. Mild steel, stainless and aluminium are different quotes, not a ranking we invent. Outdoor powder coat, if you want it on a new piece, is inside that quote. We do not publish a colour or a micron. A galvanising plant sells hot-dip on its own tariff. The sheet-metal page already refuses to invent that tariff. “Do galvanised planters rust?” is not a warranty we print.

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. A balcony, an aircon ledge and a facade are not a workshop floor. The ledge guide already says Town Council and MCST rules do not allow drilling the external facade for a net. A planter bracket that needs those screws is the same refusal. A box that sits on a balcony you are allowed to use is still a quote, and the MCST’s rule is theirs. 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 landed front planter that is really a wall or a fence is the fence page. URA’s landed page says planning permission is not required for gates, walls, fences and other enclosures not higher than 1.8 m. We do not certify a height. A new pavilion is a different permission and is not a planter. We will not call a planter a pavilion to avoid the question.

Send the length, the width, the height, the drain, and a photo of where it sits. A Pinterest picture with no millimetres is not a quote. Irrigation, soil and plants are not the metal. We do not publish a plant list.

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.

  1. Say new box or a leak in an old one.
  2. Send length, width, height and the drain.
  3. Do not ask us to drill the facade.
  4. Keep powder coat inside the quote, without a micron price.
  5. Expect a quote.

HDB, condo and landed

Water has to leave

A box with no outlet holds rain against the steel and against the floor. Say where it drains before we close the bottom. We will not hide a weep hole because it looks unfinished. A balcony scupper that is already choked is the deck page, not a new planter.

Lining, if you want one, is named in the quote. We do not publish a membrane brand as a warranty.

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.

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.
  • Say where the water leaves the box. A sealed bottom on a balcony is a stain.

Price, or quote on inspection

The new box is quote on inspection. Neighbouring rows are not a planter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a custom metal planter?

Quote on inspection. We do not publish a price per metre.

Which metal will not rust?

We do not publish that claim. Mild steel, stainless and aluminium are different quotes. A coating is inside the quote or it is the plant’s tariff.

Are you a professional engineer?

No. Homey Furnishing is not a professional engineer and not a Qualified Person.

Can you fix it to the aircon ledge?

Not by drilling the facade. The ledge guide already says that fixing is not allowed. A box that only sits where you may place it is a quote.

Is waterproofing included?

A leak in an existing box is the waterproofing page. A new box names its drain in the quote. They are not one visit by default.
