Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing wardrobe planning in a 2-room bto, 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 compact new flat needs clear routes around essential furniture. Identify the household essentials before assigning every wall to built-in storage.
Work to define: Wardrobe planning
Start with clothing quantities, hanging lengths and daily access needs. Compare the usable internals and opening clearance of the wardrobe instead of selecting only the exterior door finish.
The working deliverable is wardrobe elevation and internal storage schedule. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Test the bed, table and open cabinet doors on the actual floor plan.
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 wardrobe elevation and internal storage schedule: Photograph the condition and define protection and making-good boundaries. Discuss the result against the actual 2-room bto 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 wardrobe planning work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For wardrobe planning: Which items need accessible hanging, shelves or drawers?
- For retain existing items: Which retained item changes the installation or connection sequence?
- For this 2-room bto: Test the bed, table and open cabinet doors on the actual floor plan.
- 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.
