Renovation costs in Singapore vary enormously by property type, condition and scope, so a generic price range isn’t that useful when your flat’s actual numbers could sit well outside it. What consistently drives the final figure: whether you’re renovating a BTO or a resale flat (resale needs hacking, rewiring and waterproofing a BTO skips), how much of the home you’re touching, your material tier, and how much carpentry the project involves — carpentry is typically the single largest line item in any Singapore renovation. Because DESACE manufactures all carpentry in-house at our Tampines factory instead of subcontracting it out, that line item doesn’t carry the usual middleman mark-up.

Space planning and design concept development, 3D visualisation, material and finish selection, in-house carpentry manufacturing, and full project management coordinating flooring, electrical and wet works through licensed trade partners. Unlike most ID firms that subcontract carpentry to a third-party workshop and add a management fee on top, DESACE manufactures every cabinet in our own factory in Tampines — the same in-house model used on commercial projects for Parliament House and Changi Airport for over 16 years.

DESACE project-manages full home renovations, not just carpentry — space planning, 3D design, material selection, and coordinating flooring, electrical and wet works through licensed trade partners, while manufacturing all carpentry ourselves at our Tampines factory. This in-house-carpentry model is the same one used for 16 years on commercial fit-outs for hotels, restaurants and Changi Airport, now applied to full residential renovations.

A BTO flat with minimal hacking typically takes 8–12 weeks from design confirmation to handover; a resale flat with hacking, rewiring and waterproofing usually adds 3–6 weeks on top. Carpentry is usually the longest lead-time item in any renovation — because DESACE manufactures it in-house rather than queuing behind a third-party workshop’s other clients, we can often compress that bottleneck. Exact timelines are confirmed during your design consultation.

An interior designer focuses on space planning and material selection, typically subcontracting construction — including carpentry — to separate workshops, then managing that process for a fee. DESACE combines both roles: we design the space and manufacture the carpentry ourselves, removing one layer of subcontractor mark-up on the single biggest line item in a typical renovation budget.

Yes. Each property type has different renovation logic — a BTO needs no hacking, a resale flat usually needs hacking, rewiring and waterproofing first, a condo renovation works within MCST restrictions and deposits, and landed homes involve significantly larger scope. We scope and quote each project type differently rather than applying one flat package to all four.
