HDB is the abbreviation for Housing and Development Board, which is the primary housing agency in Singapore that is responsible for providing homes to Singapore residents. Many Singapore residents living in these homes would like to renovate their homes. However, finding a renovation company that can provide services in your preferred manner and within your budget. Here are some tips to help you figure out the costs involved with a renovation of a 4 bedroom house.
Size Is Important
The size of your home can have a big impact on the cost of an HDB renovation. This is because larger homes require more materials and more labour. The current estimate for a renovation of a 4 bedroom house is around $18,000 to $20,000.
How Old Is Your Home?
The costs involved with the renovation are also impacted by the age of your flat. For newer flats, the cost will be substantially less than for an older flat. The cost of a renovation of a newer 4-bedroom flat is likely around $11,000 to $14,000.
What Kind of Work Is Involved?
Home renovations can range from the simple to complex. Therefore, it is important to consider how much work will be involved with your renovation. For a renovation that includes major fixes such as removing walls or installing new plumbing, the costs will be significantly higher. If only minor fixes are required in order to achieve the desired results then it is likely that the costs won't be as high.
Materials
While the labour costs will contribute greatly to the total cost of the renovation, the cost of materials is likely where there will be more variations in your estimates. Going for higher quality products typically means that the initial costs of the renovation will be higher. However, by using higher quality materials, the renovation is likely to last longer. It is important to take some time to select the right materials for your renovation job with the help of an expert.
Location
Although location is not likely to impact the cost in a huge way, it is important to know that you might be charged more for a renovation of a flat that is located on the outskirts of the city versus the major areas of the city. This increased rate is likely due to the increased amount of travel time required to get to your project site.
