The metal tray is a fabrication quote, not a mounting visit

A lightbox tray, a fascia frame or a hanging sign chassis that still has to be made is quote on inspection. The lightbox page mounts and repairs a box that already exists. It says so. Homey Furnishing is not a professional engineer. We do not hang a new frame from a mall ceiling because a drawing hopes the slab can take it.

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. Tray exists or it does not 2. Mounting stays on the sign page 3. A new tray is a quote 4. The ceiling is the landlord’s
Make the tray, or mount one that exists

Lightbox and sign-frame searches in Singapore mix a fabricator, a sign company, and a night crew that hangs a finished box. The lightbox page is the second and third of those, and it says the catalogue does not fabricate the box. This page is the tray, the fascia chassis and the frame that has to be made before anyone hangs it. That work is quote on inspection. We do not publish a price per metre of aluminium extrusion or per square metre of face.

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 mall ceiling, a soffit and a glass canopy are not ours to load. “Can I hang a lightbox from the mall ceiling” is the landlord’s point and the landlord’s drawing, not a yes from a fabricator. If they have not named the fixing, we will not drill the slab and call it a sign. 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.

Electrics stay electrical. A new dedicated circuit is S$220 to S$450 on the DB page only when that sentence matches, and an EMA licensed electrician does it. We do not land a driver on a trailing socket in a ceiling void. LEDs, faces and drivers that you buy are not included in the metal quote. A like-for-like repair of a dark box stays on the lightbox page and is still quote on inspection there. The mall overnight page is 10:30pm to 5:00am for one carpentry or hardware fix at S$380 to S$650. Building a new tray is not that fix.

Shop fascia letters that are already made are the fascia page. A 3D letter that only needs mounting is the letter page. This visit starts when the metal around them does not exist yet. A metal shopfront roller shutter is the shutter repair page: track realignment is S$250 to S$480 when that repair matches. It is not a lightbox and it is not a fabric blind. Vinyl on the face is quote on inspection if we are asked to fit a face you supply. We do not publish a print rate.

Send the width, the height, the depth, whether it is wall-fixed or hanging, and who has approved the point. A render with no millimetres is not a quote. We will not copy a sign company’s package price from an advertisement. SCDF says proposed fire safety works need approval, with plans submitted by Qualified Persons. A sign that covers an exit sign is refused. We do not certify the fire plan.

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 whether the tray already exists.
  2. Send width, height and depth.
  3. Name who approved the hanging point.
  4. Keep a new circuit on the electrician’s line.
  5. Do not book the overnight slot as a fabrication day.

HDB, condo and landed

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

What is not in the frame quote

The quote is the metal we are asked to make and the fixings the approved drawing shows. It is not a media schedule, a content change, or a promise that the centre will allow a hang. If the face is fabric, say so. Fabric curtains, blinds and roller shades are not this product. A metal tray with a rigid face is.

Powder coat, if you want a colour on the new frame, is inside the quote. We do not publish a colour chart or a micron price. A galvanising plant’s tariff is theirs. The sheet-metal page already says that.

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.
  • Send the opening and the weight of the face. A slogan is not a dimension.

Are you a professional engineer?

No. Homey Furnishing is not a professional engineer and not a Qualified Person. We do not sign the hanging calculation.

Can you hang it from the mall ceiling?

Only from a point the centre has approved. We will not decide the slab can take the load.

Is the overnight handyman price a fabrication price?

No. S$380 to S$650 is one carpentry or hardware fix in the night slot. A new tray is a quote.
