📋 Key Considerations — Extension or Renovation of Landed Property

Definition of Extension

If extending a property, the total gross floor area must not exceed 50% of the originally approved built-up area. Alternatively, if a significant portion of external walls is demolished, the project may be classified as a major renovation or reconstruction, requiring full approval.

Black-and-White Bungalow Restrictions

For conserved black-and-white bungalows (such as those in Adam Park), only limited single-storey extensions or infill developments are allowed.

Related Costs

In addition to construction costs, there are professional fees for permit applications, as well as interior design fees and other associated expenses.

Therefore, we will first need detailed information about the renovation areas and design requirements before we can proceed with design proposals and provide an accurate quotation.

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
