Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing kitchen renovation in a 3-room resale flat, with light and privacy as the priority. The current decision point is design review. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A 3-room resale scope should distinguish cosmetic changes from work needed because of existing condition. Demolition can expose issues that photographs and old drawings do not show.
Work to define: Kitchen renovation
Establish which cabinets, surfaces, appliances and services are actually changing. Making-good, temporary cooking arrangements and connection responsibilities should be part of the scope discussion.
The working deliverable is kitchen retention and replacement schedule. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Separate inspected retained items from items whose condition is still unknown.
Design for light and privacy
Test daylight, glare, views and privacy against the actual window arrangement. A layout may need different treatment during work, meals and rest rather than one permanently open or closed condition.
Apply that priority to the kitchen retention and replacement schedule: Describe the daytime and evening privacy and lighting requirements separately. Discuss the result against the actual 3-room resale flat layout rather than treating a similar photograph as evidence that the detail will fit.
At the design review stage
Resolve the details that affect fabrication, services and finish interfaces. Compare the drawings with actual selected items and retain a clear record of approved revisions.
The expected stage output is: Coordinated drawings and a dated decision record for fabrication and installation. Resolve the light and privacy question within this record, so the priority is carried through the kitchen renovation work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For kitchen renovation: Who is responsible for each disconnection and reconnection?
- For light and privacy: Which daily activity needs privacy without losing its required light?
- For this 3-room resale flat: Separate inspected retained items from items whose condition is still unknown.
- Before completing the design review: Check that each selected item and retained interface appears on the current drawings.

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.
