Chapter 1 - renovation and the personnels involved.

In this website, the focus topic on interiors will be on HDB home renovation. Therefore, we will be talking on all related situations through 6 chapters of what we felt are the renovation must-knows.

Home renovation is perhaps the biggest decision anyone has to make apart from marriage being the other. In singapore, HDB home renovation is carried under the stringent rules and regulations mapped out by the government housing development board. Thus, there is a very define and systematic procedure in carrying out the home renovation.

First of all, we will be asking ourselves.

WHO ARE INVOLVED IN HOME RENOVATION ?

1. The home owner (you)
2. The flat owner (HDB)
3. The renovation contractor
4. The interior designer (optional)

As a home owner, you got to ask yourself this next question.

WHO SHOULD I APPROACH FIRST ?

lets understand the various project management flows below.

conventional flow 1
owner --> renovation contractor --> permits application --> renovation --> final inspection/hand over --> move in.

conventional flow 2
owner --> interior designer --> renovation contractor --> permits application --> renovation
--> final inspection --> interior decoration/hand over --> move in.

NEW hybrid flow 1
owner --> pre-reno consultant --> renovation contractor --> permits application --> renovation --> final inspection /hand over --> move in.

NEW hybrid flow 2
owner --> pre-reno consultant --> interior designer --> renovation contractor --> permits application --> renovation --> final inspection --> interior decoration/hand over --> move in.

now, you will be asking.

WHO IS THIS PRE-RENO CONSULTANT ?
In layman terms, pre-reno consultant advises on the pre-renovation preparation that all new home owners want to know everything about.

Now, you will be very curious. Who is this guy and what does he do ? why must i engage his service and how does his service benefit my home renovation ?
