Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing quotation review in a 5-room resale flat, with retain existing items as the priority. The current decision point is site preparation. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A 5-room resale project can span several rooms with different existing conditions. Assess the rooms individually instead of extending one room allowance across the whole home.
Work to define: Quotation review
Compare quotations against a common scope. Quantities, exclusions, provisional items and responsibilities can explain differences that a headline total cannot.
The working deliverable is like-for-like scope and exclusion comparison. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Create a room-by-room condition and retained-item schedule.
Design for retain existing items
Record the condition and dimensions of retained pieces. The design must resolve protection, installation access and finish junctions around them, rather than treating them as unchanging background.
Apply that priority to the like-for-like scope and exclusion comparison: Photograph the condition and define protection and making-good boundaries. Discuss the result against the actual 5-room resale flat layout rather than treating a similar photograph as evidence that the detail will fit.
At the site preparation stage
Confirm access, protection, sequencing and responsibilities before work begins. Arrange any required checks or permissions for the actual property and do not assume a generic planning page grants approval.
The expected stage output is: An agreed access, protection and work-sequencing plan with responsibility owners. Resolve the retain existing items question within this record, so the priority is carried through the quotation review work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For quotation review: Which allowance or exclusion could change the final payable scope?
- For retain existing items: Which retained item changes the installation or connection sequence?
- For this 5-room resale flat: Create a room-by-room condition and retained-item schedule.
- Before completing the site preparation: Identify the first dependent work item that cannot proceed until another check is complete.

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.
