One of the most common questions we get at Empire Works is: “What’s the cost to renovate my HDB flat?”
The short answer? It really depends on your flat type, preferences, material choices, and the extent of work involved. But here’s a general guide to help you understand the ballpark figures:
⸻
New HDB (BTO Flats)
Estimated Range: $10,000 – $60,000
Renovation costs for new BTO flats tend to be more affordable since there’s no hacking or restoration involved.
The final cost depends on:
• Your preferred design and finishes
• Type of flooring and carpentry
• Wet works (if any for kitchen/toilets)
⸻
Standard Toilet + Kitchen Renovation (Resale HDB)
Estimated Range: $35,000 – $45,000
This includes a complete overhaul of:
• Two bathrooms
• One kitchen, including cabinetry and fittings
The size of the kitchen and complexity of carpentry work will affect the final price.
⸻
Full Renovation (Resale HDB)
Estimated Range: $70,000 – $150,000
A full resale renovation usually includes:
• Hacking and re-tiling works
• Electrical rewiring and plumbing
• All bathrooms, kitchen, and carpentry
• Painting, false ceilings, doors, and more
Costs vary greatly based on:
• Homeowners’ expectations
• Material and brand preferences
• Custom features like built-ins, walk-in wardrobes, and premium finishes
Why We Don’t Quote Without Meeting
At Empire Works, we believe in transparency and accuracy.
That’s why we don’t provide quotations until we:
1. Meet with you to understand your needs and preferences
2. Conduct a site visit to assess existing conditions
3. Discuss your lifestyle, design goals, and functional requirements
