What to decide before commissioning the work
Whether a proposal needs a permit or other assessment depends on the work and the actual flat. Ask the appointed contractor to identify the relevant requirements for each proposed alteration and explain who prepares and follows up on the submission. Keep the approved scope available for comparison with the work on site.
Compare options against the same requirements
Check the appointed contractor against the current HDB directory rather than relying on an advertisement or an unrelated company name. Registration is not a guarantee of workmanship or a substitute for reviewing the contract. This guide does not establish JW Design Studio's registration or grant permission for any alteration.
Your planning checklist
Bring a measured floor plan, photographs of the existing condition and a list of items you intend to retain. Use the checks below to make the consultation specific to your home.
- Confirm the appointed legal entity and directory entry
- Identify proposed works requiring submission or assessment
- Keep approved documents with the agreed scope
- Check current requirements directly with HDB
What to ask for in the quotation
Ask for a written, itemised scope. An online guide is not a quotation: product selection, site condition and the measured work determine what can be proposed. Resolve assumptions before approving fabrication or installation.
- Submission preparation and follow-up responsibilities
- Assessment fees and exclusions
- Start-date assumptions pending approvals
- Process for scope changes after approval

Common questions
How should I prepare for a discussion about hdb renovation permit?
Start with the actual property condition and your required outcome. In particular: confirm the appointed legal entity and directory entry; identify proposed works requiring submission or assessment; keep approved documents with the agreed scope; check current requirements directly with hdb. Bring photographs and a floor plan so these points can be checked against the space.
Does this guide include a fixed price or approval for my home?
No. Prices require an agreed scope and site information. Where work needs assessment or approval, confirm the requirements with the appropriate authority, managing agent and appointed professional before it starts.
