Given that most Singaporeans live in more or less similar Housing and Development Board or HDB units, with more or less similar floor area and with more or less similar interior design, layout and theme, HDB renovation is quite a big thing. Most Singaporeans renovate their HDBs in order for them to express their preferences, individuality and even to reflect their careers.

As popular as it may seem, HDB renovation still seems to pose quite a challenge to interior designers, interior decorators and renovation contractors everywhere. The first constraint, and challenge is the HDB renovation space. Let us face it, an HDB has an extremely limited space. Normally, people go for the three bedroom HDB unit. Thus, it allows only for 3 bedrooms, 2 toilet and bath, 1 dining area that flows into the dining area and 1 living room.

HDB renovation can range from mild to the extreme. Some of them even border on being wild and totally out of this world. Most of the interior design and renovation magazines feature classic, simple and minimalist HDB renovation themes. There an elite few who go for aggrandizing their HDBs to the fullest, creating sophisticated designs, luxurious motifs, elegant furniture, bold wallpaper designs and plush furnishings.

HDB renovation often includes the following: interior design and space planning, floor plan layout, perspective drawings, detailed drawings, materials and color proposal and selection, projected work schedule chart, site co-ordination and supervision, application of permit from relevant authorities, floor tiles or carpets with skirting for living room, dining room and store rooms, cement screed for all bedrooms, laminated floor with skirting for all bedrooms and a whole lot more.

It is better to enquire with your chosen renovation contractor or interior designer to fully understand what is included in your HDB renovation package to avoid confusion and to have a successful HDB renovation result.
