Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing finish selection in a 3-room bto, with shared family use as the priority. The current decision point is completion review. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A new 3-room flat needs coordinated kitchen, living and sleeping zones. Check the actual supplied finishes before budgeting for replacements.
Work to define: Finish selection
Review samples together under the intended lighting and against retained materials. Appearance should be considered alongside cleaning, edge treatment, junctions and the repair or replacement strategy.
The working deliverable is finish sample and junction schedule. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Record which developer-supplied items will be retained and their junctions with new work.
Design for shared family use
Compare the needs of the actual household members and their routines. Shared furniture and storage should have clear operating and access requirements rather than assuming everyone uses the room in the same way.
Apply that priority to the finish sample and junction schedule: Record simultaneous uses and decide which needs must take priority. Discuss the result against the actual 3-room bto layout rather than treating a similar photograph as evidence that the detail will fit.
At the completion review stage
Check the agreed scope and operation systematically, recording issues and the next action for each. Distinguish incomplete work, adjustment requests and new work rather than combining them into an ambiguous snag list.
The expected stage output is: A dated issue register, operational checks and relevant handover information. Resolve the shared family use question within this record, so the priority is carried through the finish selection work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For finish selection: How will the finish be cleaned, repaired and joined to adjacent materials?
- For shared family use: Which two everyday activities compete for the same space or access?
- For this 3-room bto: Record which developer-supplied items will be retained and their junctions with new work.
- Before completing the completion review: Assign the remaining action, responsible person and agreed follow-up for each issue.

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.
