Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing bathroom renovation in a 4-room resale flat, with phased work as the priority. The current decision point is quote comparison. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A 4-room resale plan needs both a new layout brief and a record of what exists. Retaining selected joinery or finishes changes the sequencing and the making-good boundaries.
Work to define: Bathroom renovation
Distinguish retained work, overlay and removal options against the actual substrate and wet-area condition. A finish choice does not resolve waterproofing, drainage or making-good responsibilities.
The working deliverable is wet-area scope and inspection schedule. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Mark every retained element and the adjacent work that could damage it.
Design for phased work
A phased plan needs workable access, protection and temporary household arrangements between packages. Confirm dependencies before assuming that trades can return independently.
Apply that priority to the wet-area scope and inspection schedule: List the minimum usable facilities and access needed between phases. Discuss the result against the actual 4-room resale flat layout rather than treating a similar photograph as evidence that the detail will fit.
At the quote comparison stage
Use the same scope and assumptions when comparing proposals. Ask for quantities, product specifications, exclusions and provisional items so differences can be understood before acceptance.
The expected stage output is: A comparable scope schedule with unresolved allowances and exclusions identified. Resolve the phased work question within this record, so the priority is carried through the bathroom renovation work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For bathroom renovation: What condition must be confirmed before the proposed finish system is suitable?
- For phased work: Which later package depends on an earlier concealed or connection detail?
- For this 4-room resale flat: Mark every retained element and the adjacent work that could damage it.
- Before completing the quote comparison: Confirm which proposal includes each required deliverable and responsibility.

Property requirements and scope boundaries
Check current HDB requirements for the actual scope and verify the appointed contractor where required. This page does not establish permit eligibility.
Record existing condition, retained items, quantities, named products or specifications, exclusions and responsibility owners. Pricing and feasibility require the actual scope and site information. This scenario does not establish a market price or confirm that any work has been approved.
