Before You Build: Your Singapore Checklist

Key steps every homeowner or developer must know before starting any construction or renovation project in Singapore.

Regulatory & Permits

  • Check HDB / URA zoning and use restrictions
  • Obtain BCA structural plan approval if required
  • Submit renovation permit to HDB or town council
  • Notify neighbours at least 3 days before hacking works
  • Confirm allowable renovation hours (Mon–Sat 9am–6pm)

Contractor & Contracts

  • Verify contractor's BCA registration and licence
  • Get at least 3 itemised quotations for comparison
  • Ensure a signed contract with scope, timeline, and payment terms
  • Confirm workmanship warranty period is stated in writing
  • Keep a 5–10% retention sum until defects are resolved

Budget & Financing

  • Set a realistic budget including a 10–15% contingency
  • Check CPF usage eligibility for housing improvements
  • Explore HDB renovation loan or bank financing options
  • Pay in milestones — never full upfront payment

During Construction

  • Request a detailed work schedule with milestones
  • Conduct regular site inspections (at least weekly)
  • Document all variation orders in writing before proceeding
  • Ensure materials delivered match your approved specifications
