did your contractor get HDB approval for any hacking?

Is this inside the DWG that they submit to the HDB for approval?

If all the above, NO.

Then U need to pray super hard

  • Q: Do I need a permit for hacking of walls?
    [ Living in HDB Flats > HDB Renovation Guidelines > Renovation Works ]

  • A:Yes, you need to apply for a permit from HDB which must be endorsed by a Qualified Person (QP) or Professional Engineer (PE).
  • Please note that you are only allowed to hack/demolish non-load bearing reinforced concrete walls. You may not hack/demolish load bearing walls.

Dear Nellynut,

Better consult your QP/PE before continuing. The column appears to be RC to me.

It is no a matter of having the permit or not, but safety.

Hi Lauer,

Thank you for your concern, based on our floor plan there is no black block/beam at that area. The TO also shocked when i told her... in the end, we decided not to hack = no open concept = save $$$ :notti:

So I Can say this Case Closed

It can be hacked, its a prefabbed wall.. have to go through PE though. I bet the person who send permit to the HDB did not note that he will be hacking of the wall.
