Turnkey renovation in Singapore: what it costs

Updated 4 November 2026

A turnkey renovation of a whole flat in Singapore currently costs about S$15,400 for a 2-room unit and S$78,600–S$93,500 for a 5-room resale flat, with most 3- and 4-room BTO flats in between. Prices depend on the flat type, the materials and whether a design project is needed, so the quickest way to a current figure for your flat is a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules to check before the work starts

Renovation in HDB flats can need a renovation permit from HDB. If work that was done without one is allowed to stay, you pay an administrative fee, so ask the contractor who applies for the permit. Check the contractor's HDB or BCA licensing as well. Builders licensed under the Builders Licensing Scheme pay fees of S$1,200 to S$1,800 depending on class, and the licence is valid for up to three years.

Weather and timing in Singapore

Singapore is tropical, hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Demand does not drop in a cold month, so the calendar is mostly about your move-in date and the wet season, which can slow outdoor and balcony work. Ask for a timeline that allows a few spare days for rain.

How turnkey work is priced and scheduled

Quotes cover the whole flat and are usually framed by room type, such as 3-room or 4-room BTO, with floor area in square metres. Compare the scope rather than the total: a S$40,000 new-condo fit-out and a S$100,000 resale overhaul can both be reasonable for different work. Guides warn that some costs arrive outside the contract, so ask what each quote leaves out.

What to write in your request

Give the address and the town, for example Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, because the quote depends on the site. Add the floor area in sqm, the renovation type, preferred materials, whether you need a design project, your deadline and your budget range.

Describe the flat in a free request on BlaBlaPrice, in your own words, and add a photo if you like. The AI asks for anything missing and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them.
