1. Startec Construction

Best for HDB and condo owners who want one contractor's own teams on every trade

Listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors as Startec Construction Pte. Ltd., reference HB-11-5698A: status Active, expiry date 2 November 2027, and no demerit points in the past 24 months, as read on 7 October 2026.

Registered with BCA for interior decoration and finishing works (workhead CR06, grade L1) to 1 February 2029.

Says its carpentry, electrical, plumbing and tiling are done by its own teams, not subcontractors, and that its carpentry is built at its own factory in Toa Payoh, which customers can visit by appointment; some specialist items still go to a specialist.

Renovates HDB flats, both new BTO flats and resale flats, and private condominiums; says it submits the HDB renovation permit itself and that a whole flat takes about eight weeks, depending on scope.

Says it quotes in writing with no hidden costs, and that its team sends photos at the end of each working day.

Open Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm, and closed on Sunday; the first consultation is free.

A company since April 2018.

Startec Construction's site states its HDB directory reference, its BCA registration with its expiry month and its company number, and each one matches the register. It also says something most renovation sites do not: that HDB lists contractors and does not license or endorse them. That, and its plain statement of who does the work, is why it comes first.

It says the core trades are done by its own carpenters, electrician, plumbers and tilers, with the carpentry built at its own factory in Toa Payoh. It publishes no prices and has been a company only since 2018.

Its site names Wong Lye Pte Ltd as its parent company; BCA's directory lists Wong Lye Pte Ltd, at the same address, as a licensed General Builder Class 2 to 24 April 2028. Larry Contractors itself does not appear in BCA's directory.

Says it is a direct contractor that makes custom carpentry at its own workshop in Singapore, with no interior designer in between.

Takes on HDB flats, condominiums, landed homes, including additions and alterations, and commercial spaces.

Publishes cost guides, not fixed prices: S$18,000 to S$45,000 for a 3-room HDB flat, S$25,000 to S$65,000 for a 4-room flat and S$35,000 to S$80,000 or more for a 5-room or executive flat; says every quotation is itemised.

Says its warranty is given in writing: 12 months on standard workmanship from handover and five years on exterior wall painting, with the period for each item written into the quotation.

Operating hours are Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm; it says it replies to enquiries within one to three working days.

Its site says it has worked since 2009; the company was registered on 1 September 2016.

Larry Contractors sets out its terms more fully than most: a written warranty with a period for each item, cost guides by flat type and an itemised quotation. It says it makes its carpentry at its own workshop and deals with owners directly.

For landed homes, the builder's licence is held by Wong Lye Pte Ltd, which its site names as its parent company, so ask which company signs your contract. Its site says it has worked since 2009, while the company itself was registered in 2016.

The CaseTrust accreditation and the BCA registration sit with HFH Design & Build Pte Ltd, the company named beside it on its site, so ask which company your contract is with. It publishes no prices and states no warranty period.

Listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors as Teng Hong Renovation Construction, reference HB-08-2201E: status Active, expiry date 31 July 2027, and no demerit points in the past 24 months, as read on 7 October 2026.

Offers consultation, 2D and 3D drawings of the agreed ideas, and management of the whole renovation.

Teng Hong Renovate says it began as a tiling specialist some 40 years ago and now covers every trade of an interior renovation with in-house expertise, including its own carpentry team. The registers show a business of that name in HDB's directory, registered since 1995, and a company at the same address holding a builder's licence.

Its site says little that can be checked: no address, no opening hours, no prices and no warranty period. That is why it sits near the end of this page.

8. Hurry General Contractor

Best for Landed homes and larger jobs that need a licensed builder

Listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors as Hurry General Contractor (Pte) Ltd, reference HB-07-3714H: status Active, expiry date 30 June 2030, and no demerit points in the past 24 months, as read on 7 October 2026.

A licensed General Builder Class 1 to 16 June 2027, the class that may take on building projects of any value; also registered with BCA for general building (CW01, grade C1) and interior decoration and finishing works (CR06, grade L3), among other workheads, to 1 December 2026.

Incorporated on 17 February 1984.

Says it can tender for public-sector projects of up to S$5 million.

Hurry General Contractor holds the highest class of general builder's licence, has been a company since 1984 and is also listed in HDB's directory. That suits structural work, additions and alterations, and landed homes, where works whose plans need approval must be done by a licensed builder.

It comes last because its site is written mostly for commercial and public-sector clients: it says little about home renovation, and gives no prices, opening hours or warranty for homeowners.

Questions readers ask

What does a renovation cost in Singapore?: Contractors set their own prices, and most quote after a site visit. Among the providers on this page that publish figures, the lowest-priced packages for a new BTO flat are about S$6,000 to S$8,200, and packages for a resale flat run from about S$18,800 to S$41,600, depending on the flat's size and how much is hacked; see their entries. One provider gives a guide of S$25,000 to S$65,000 for a 4-room flat. These are starting points: the final figure depends on the flat's condition, the materials and the carpentry. Ask for a quotation itemised by trade, and ask whether GST, permit fees and debris disposal are included.
How do I choose one?: Start with the home. For an HDB flat, you must engage a contractor listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors. For a landed home, building works whose plans need approval from the Commissioner of Building Control must be done by a builder licensed by BCA. Then decide how much design help you want: a direct contractor mainly builds what you specify, so most design decisions are yours. Ask who will do each trade, the contractor's own workers or subcontractors, and who answers for defects. Compare at least two itemised quotations for the same scope, and ask for the warranty period in writing.
What should I check before signing?: That the contractor is in HDB's directory, and what its entry shows: HDB's e-service "View Directory of Renovation Contractors" gives each contractor's status, expiry date, demerit points and infringements in the past 24 months. HDB lists contractors but does not endorse them or guarantee their work. Whether it is CaseTrust-accredited on CASE's own list: accredited renovation businesses must cover deposits with a performance bond, use CASE's standard contract and cap the first deposit at 20%. For a landed home, the builder's licence in BCA's directory. That water and sanitary work will be done by a PUB-licensed plumber and electrical work by a licensed electrical worker, as HDB requires. Every entry on this page shows the UEN, the Unique Entity Number, of the business listed in HDB's directory, which you can look up free on ACRA’s BizFile search.
