What Does an HDB Renovation Package Cover?<\/h2>\n

An HDB renovation package bundles the key trades \u2014 flooring, painting, carpentry, plumbing, electrical and tiling \u2014 into a single contract with one project manager. For first-time homeowners collecting BTO keys or families moving into a resale flat, packages offer cost certainty and a simplified renovation experience.<\/p>\n

However, packages are not one-size-fits-all. A three-room BTO renovation looks very different from a full resale overhaul, and the scope you need depends on the flat’s age, condition and your design priorities.<\/p>\n

BTO flats cost less to renovate because they arrive with basic finishes \u2014 flooring, sanitary ware and internal doors \u2014 that may not need immediate replacement. Resale flats, especially those over 15 years old, require hacking, re-wiring and re-plumbing that significantly increase the base cost.<\/p>\n

Flooring Choices for HDB Flats<\/h2>\n

Flooring is one of the largest line items in any HDB renovation package, and the material you select affects both cost and the overall feel of the flat.<\/p>\n

Vinyl and SPC Flooring<\/h3>\n

SPC (stone polymer composite) vinyl flooring has become the most popular choice for HDB living rooms and bedrooms. It is waterproof, dimensionally stable in Singapore’s humid climate, and installs quickly with a click-lock system \u2014 no wet works, no hacking of the existing floor. This reduces both cost and renovation duration. Browse the luxury vinyl collection at Goodrich<\/a> to compare woodgrain and stone-effect options.<\/p>\n

Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles<\/h3>\n

Tiles remain the default for wet areas (kitchen and bathrooms) and are a practical choice for the living and dining areas if you prefer a cooler floor surface. Homogeneous tiles offer consistent colour throughout the body, making chips less visible.<\/p>\n

Engineered Timber<\/h3>\n

Engineered wood planks provide a genuine timber look and feel but require more careful maintenance. They are best suited to bedrooms and studies where moisture exposure is minimal.<\/p>\n

Wall Finishes That Add Character<\/h2>\n

Paint is the default wall finish in most HDB packages, but it is not the only option. Feature walls in the living room, master bedroom or dining area can be elevated with wallcoverings, wood panels or textured plaster.<\/p>\n

Residential wallcoverings<\/a> offer a fast, non-structural way to create focal points. They come in thousands of patterns \u2014 from subtle linen textures to bold geometric prints \u2014 and can be changed without extensive repainting when you want a refresh.<\/p>\n
