Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing space planning in a 4-room resale flat, with phased work as the priority. The current decision point is design review. 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: Space planning
Compare layouts using the same furniture, activities and retained elements. A proposal should show practical differences in movement, usable area and flexibility, rather than just an alternative arrangement of walls.
The working deliverable is comparable layout options with assumptions. 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 comparable layout options with assumptions: 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 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 phased work question within this record, so the priority is carried through the space planning work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For space planning: What measurable household problem does each layout solve?
- 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 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.
