Justifying the Cost for House Renovations in Singapore in 2018

Let’s face it. The cost of house renovations in Singapore for the year 2018 can be considered “staggering”. Ask a friend or check a website for their rates and you can see how much has changed over the last five years or so. Everything is costly and every movement will cost you money. But to be fair, everything has a recent and if you want quality house renovation in Singapore services working with you, you know you have to shell out serious money.

Location and Property

There’s a practical reason why you can never see prices for specific services on an interior designers website. There’s a higher chance of seeing photos of the designer rather than seeing the prices he or she charges for clients. You don’t find those prices because they have to submit a quotation based on the size of the place they will be working on and the even the materials that may be needed. Then of course, there’s also the professional fees involved.

Speaking of location, the interior designer should also know whether they will be working on a residential place or a condo space. Why? Because he or she needs to price accordingly to the location. Rates for home services and renovations differ from those that will be done to condo units.

Professional Fees

It should come as no surprise that there will be professional fees for a number of people who would work on a renovation project. First and foremost, the interior designer needs to be paid for his or her services. That service fee will also depend on who would be working on the project. A new and upcoming interior designer may charge a reasonable fee. Meanwhile the post and experienced residential interior design Singapore designer will charge a steep fee. That’s for a number of reasons as well. Reason one is because the designer had good training in the best schools. Secondly, they have a long list of experiences doing interior designs for their clients.

There’s also the professional fees for the actual workers who will be renovating the home or condo unit. The rates for professional fees differs from one construction firm to another.

The Materials can be Expensive

Another factor that justifies why renovations and interior design projects are expensive come in the form of materials. Let’s take a look at some of the materials that are usually used during renovation particularly the floorings.

Marble flooring can go from anywhere from $10 per square foot to $15 depending on where the material will be taken from. The same goes for Granite flooring which costs anywhere from $10 to $20. There’s also Vinyl ($6 to $7.5), Ceramic or tile floorings ($3 to $6.25).

Although to be fair, you can insist that you need a specific type of flooring for your home with your interior designer. That could be something that could grow into a misunderstanding but homeowners should put their foot down somewhere.

Hopefully, this would be helpful in deciding whether or not renovating your living room or your bedroom is something that you can do right now. This can be helpful too if a homeowner has a partner that needs more convincing about the house fixed to something that one would be proud of.
