Finally, 1st appointment !! Went thr it smoothly this morning Continue to work hard sourcing for renovation work

Can a reno contractor without a HDB registered license do any renovation works to a HDB flat ? I was reading throught the RenoGuide Book published by the HDB, it says that quote: "You are required to engage an HDB registered renovation contractor to renovate your flat for works including those that do not require a renovation permit." unquote: Presently, i am talking to a reno contractor not registered to HDB, she didn't tell me anything about it. i was wondering why ? A few questions i have in mind .. 1) if i am to engage a contractor not registered to HDB to do my renovation, will i get penalised? 2) if a contractor is not registered to HDB, how can they go about doing the renovation work? Anyone can help ... a bit confuse here ...

Hi Jaren, who did u engage with? I talked to stella Requested and got a quote from them and find it reasonable as well. we are also very comfortable talking to them.

Definitely young and hippy .... with lots of idea and i would said very creative. i was talking to one ID call dave. I think they are all IDs, and ID talks directly to potential customer. A picture speaks more than a thousand words ! I think i will go and take pictures of the flat and use it to talk to IDs. I hope it will make it more easy for me to communicate with them and get a more accurate quotation !

Hi, I was recommended to Dezignare Werks by my friend for renovation work on my flat. Just want to know anyone here have any project with them before ?

Went to the LIFESTYLE21 exhibition yesterday, was surprised that the barang barang is offering interior design services as well. Talked to one of their ID, and was very impressed by his ideas and how he helped us to visualize his idea with lots of quick drawing. Very tempted to sign up with him on the spot, because of the EM flat package barang barang is offering. In the end decided not to because we felt that we have not yet see or hear enough. How come there are not many companies offering package deal for EM flat? I only encounter barang barang. Will package deal offer me better bargain for money renovation work! I wonder?
