ILJ 2 Report post Posted November 3, 2014 Hi Guys,Just confirm a unit at north.Its 5I with balcony. 3-4 more months more to get the keys, but im already start planning The house condition is such that rooms are well laminated, air corn trunking done, basic wall cornices done.I'm more of a DIY guy i was wondering if i could reno the whole house myself together with some workers i planned to hire.I understand that HDB permit is needed for reno but i am not entirely sure which area that i should not touch .I believe hacking walls and waterproofing works need to engage a contractor.The scope of works im expectinghack balcony tiles and replace with balcony design tiles. hack 2 toilets and replace tiles and sanitary fittings design a sunken shower area in MBR toilet - not sure if this is legal laminate living, dining, and walkways to bedrooms hack kitchen tiles and re-tiles , create a yard area to place dryer and washer and a laundry cabinet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ks Toh 74 Report post Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Unless you happen to be a HDB registered renovation contractor, I am not sure if you can DIY any renovation other than really minor stuff. This is what HDB website says:You are required to engage an HDB registered renovation contractor to renovate your flat including works that do not require a renovation permit.To carry out electrical work in HDB flat, you are required to engage an Energy Market Authority (EMA) licensed electrical worker. You can search for licensed electrical contractors via the EMA's website.http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10324p.nsf/w/HomeRenoApplyPermit?OpenDocument Edited November 3, 2014 by kstoh 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
