HDB Renovation Guidelines In Singapore
Understanding HDB interior design and renovation regulations is key. Here are a few essentials to know when designing or renovating HDB units:
-
Major vs Minor Works: Modifying structural elements, hacking walls, or extending spaces requires HDB / MCST approval (as these are considered major works). Cosmetic touches (painting, laminates, lights) are minor works, that do not require any approvals.
-
Balcony / PES rules: Enclosing your balcony (PES) is heavily regulated; full enclosure is usually not allowed.
-
Loft / Mezzanine rules: Some flats allow small lofts (< 5 sqm) as furniture decks, if properly designed and approved.
-
Electrical & Plumbing relocation: Shifting water lines or gas services must follow HDB guidelines and engage licensed contractors.
