We gathered actual itemised renovation materials and labour costs from renovators in Singapore.
From there, we created logical scenarios for typical HDB and Condo renovation projects. We then categorised the renovation works into various cost components to derive the percentage breakdowns you see in the table below.
The table below sorts each renovation cost component according to its cost weightage (highest to lowest):
