Hey Takaishi, it's a sis here

Here's a brief breakdown of the timeline based on my understanding:

1. Update of PCD date and receiving letter to apply HLE occurred at the same time for my block.

2. HLE letter gives 2 weeks grace to submit documents online (types of document may differ depending of our employment type)

- Need 15 mths CPF contribution history easily gotten from CPF website

- Last 3 mths payslip or letter of employment from your company

3. Upon submission, HLE approved in approximately one week!

4. Wait for update about when to collect keys

Just continue the timeline from key collection onwards (based on my understanding too):

5. Door opening ceremony based on auspicious date + fengshui audit + check for defects

6. Wait one week for defects to be rectified + changes in layout based on fengshui audit (if any)

7. Start of reno! From this part onwards must get timeline from my ID liao.

thanks thanks! from HLE approved to key collection is about 2 mths?

so so so sorry embarassing... okok sis..

I think I heard of people getting keys < 1mth after HLE approval but also like you mentioned 2 months..

Probably first approved first served or something, and no definitely timeline..

Haha, Takashi, it's okay lah, not always possible to tell gender from our names

Like what EthanDad had shared, there's no definite timeline for the collection of keys. I've got neighbours who got it really fast, like after 1 month of approval, they are informed to collect keys. Got others Jan HLE approved, HDB informed them very recently to collect keys at the end of March.

No way for us to gauge the timing except to wait for them to update the system + send us letter..

Are you expecting your keys soon?

Hi Jiawen,

I like your 3D drawings so much, especially your kitchen.

I'm also resident of Woodlands Meadow. Block 780B. Just got the keys and sourcing for ID. Could you please PM me your ID contact details as well as your breakdown quotation? Thank you so much.
