Renovation Cost FAQs – Bishan

How much does it cost to renovate a 4-room HDB flat?

A 4-room HDB BTO renovation costs SGD 25,000-65,000, while a resale flat renovation costs SGD 35,000-90,000. The higher resale cost accounts for hacking, re-piping, and repair of existing structures.

How long does HDB renovation take?

A typical HDB renovation takes 6-10 weeks from permit approval to handover. Complex renovations with custom carpentry may extend to 12 weeks. HDB permits renovation work only on weekdays 9am-6pm.

Can I use my CPF for renovation?

No. CPF funds cannot be used for renovation. However, you can apply for a renovation loan from HDB (up to SGD 30,000) or from banks. HDB loans are interest-free but must be repaid within 5 years.

What should I renovate first in a resale HDB?

Prioritise structural and functional works first: hacking, waterproofing, plumbing, and electrical rewiring. Then proceed to carpentry, flooring, and finally painting. This sequence prevents rework and damage to finished surfaces.
