Condominium Interior Design & Renovation

Designing Luxury, Redefining Condo Living

Renovating a condominium in Singapore involves a series of steps to ensure a successful and compliant project. Below is a detailed workflow and procedure that we, at REC Design Studio, your TRUSTED provider adhere to:

Initial Consultation: Meet with the homeowner to discuss their renovation goals, preferences, budget, and timeline. Understand any specific requirements or constraints related to the condominium's rules and regulations.

Site Inspection and Assessment: Visit the condominium unit to assess its current condition, layout, and any structural or architectural constraints. Take note of any restrictions imposed by the condominium management, such as renovation hours and noise limitations.

Design Proposal: Develop a comprehensive design proposal that includes floor plans, 3D renderings, material selections, and cost estimates. Discuss design options that maximize space utilization, functionality, and aesthetic appeal while adhering to the condominium's guidelines.

Condominium Approval: Submit the renovation plans to the condominium management for approval. Ensure that the proposed renovations comply with the condominium's by-laws, regulations, and architectural guidelines.

Contract Signing: Once the design is approved, sign a contract with the homeowner outlining the scope of work, timeline, payment schedule, and responsibilities of both parties. Ensure that the contract includes provisions for compliance with condominium regulations and obtaining necessary permits.

Demolition and Site Preparation: Begin by clearing out the existing fixtures, fittings, and furnishings. Prepare the site for construction work, ensuring proper protection of common areas and neighboring units.

Structural Work: Carry out any necessary structural modifications or reinforcements according to the approved design and engineering requirements. This may include hacking walls, relocating plumbing or electrical points, and installing new partitions.

Electrical and Plumbing: Install or upgrade electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, and plumbing systems to support the homeowner's needs. Ensure compliance with condominium regulations and safety standards.

Carpentry and Millwork: Construct custom cabinetry, built-in wardrobes, shelves, and other carpentry elements according to the approved design. Optimize storage space and functionality while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Flooring and Wall Finishes: Install flooring materials such as tiles, vinyl, laminate, or hardwood, and apply wall finishes such as paint, wallpaper, or decorative panels. Ensure that finishes are durable, easy to maintain, and complement the overall design theme.

Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation: Renovate the kitchen and bathrooms according to the homeowner's preferences, including installation of new fixtures, countertops, and storage solutions. Ensure compliance with condominium regulations for wet areas.

HVAC Installation: Install or upgrade heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to ensure comfort and indoor air quality in the condominium unit. Consider energy-efficient options to minimize utility costs.

Appliance and Fixture Installation: Coordinate the delivery and installation of appliances, lighting fixtures, sanitary fittings, and other fixtures specified in the design plan. Ensure proper placement and functionality of each item.

Final Touches: Complete any remaining tasks such as painting touch-ups, hardware installation, and cleaning to prepare the condominium unit for occupancy.

Handover and Documentation: Conduct a final inspection with the homeowner to ensure that all renovation works meet their expectations and comply with condominium regulations. Provide documentation such as warranties, maintenance guidelines, and certificates of completion.

Post-Renovation Support: Offer ongoing maintenance and support services to address any issues that may arise after the renovation. Ensure that the homeowner is satisfied with the final outcome and ready to enjoy their newly renovated condominium unit.

Throughout the renovation process, we always maintain open communication with the homeowner, subcontractors, suppliers, and condominium management to ensure that the project stays on track and meets all regulatory requirements. We do regular site inspections and progress updates that consistently help us to identify and address any potential issues early on, minimizing delays and ensuring a successful renovation outcome.
