Handover condition
A new unit with developer finishes may only need carpentry and lighting. An older unit may need new bathrooms, kitchen and flooring.
Premium materials
Marble, sintered stone and veneer are common in condos and cost more than laminate and porcelain.
MCST requirements
Lift protection, restricted working hours and access rules can lengthen the timeline and affect cost.
Layout changes
Converting a bedroom, opening the kitchen or enclosing a balcony adds hacking and approvals.
Condo renovation rules (MCST)
- Get approval from the condo management (MCST) before work starts. Submit your renovation plans and contractor details.
- Most condos collect a refundable renovation deposit and require lift and common-area protection.
- Working hours are set by the management, often weekdays and Saturday mornings, with no noisy works on Sundays and public holidays.
- Balcony enclosures, screens and changes to the facade usually need specific approval and must follow the condo's by-laws.
Ways to save
- Keep developer bathrooms and kitchens that are in good condition and refresh them with new fittings.
- Lay vinyl over existing tiles in bedrooms and the living area.
- Use premium materials in one or two focal areas, such as the kitchen island or feature wall.
Timeline: Most condo renovations take 8 to 14 weeks, including the time needed for MCST approval before works begin. See our renovation timeline guide.

Often, because condos tend to use more premium materials and units can be larger. A condo that is in good condition and only needs carpentry can cost about the same as an HDB renovation.
Usually 8 to 14 weeks, plus time for MCST approval. Restricted working hours can extend the timeline.
It depends on your condo's by-laws and approvals. Many condos only allow approved screen designs. Check with your management before planning it.
