Describe the floor and the patch
Option A is spot repair plus dustless sanding or honing. Option B is a click overlay and is the wrong cover on a wet or termite-hit timber floor. Option C is hacking, an HDB permit or an MCST deposit, and 5 to 10 days of downtime.
| Option | What you live with | 2026 planning band |

| Access | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | Use the HDB choice if the form has one. Permit work is still a separate contractor. | Do not pick HDB for a condo. | Do not pick HDB for a landed house. |
| Condo | MCST hours and deposits are real even when the form has no dollar for them. | Say so in the WhatsApp note. | A landed house is not a condo unit. |
| Landed | Storeys and external areas must be named if the form has no landed size. | A condo calculator is the wrong form. | Describe the storey in the message. |
- Have the flat type ready
- Count rooms or units the form asks for

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 50 percent restoration rule?
If the high side of a sound repair is under half the low side of hacking and retiling, restore the floor. Overlay and hacking remain visible so you can still choose them.
Why warn against vinyl on blackened parquet?
A click floor over damp or termite-damaged timber traps the moisture. Fix the leak and the strips first. The overlay price is still shown.
