Renovating an HDB flat comes with specific rules and regulations that must be adhered to for safety and compliance. Choosing an HDB-licensed contractor ensures that your renovation meets these standards and avoids potential issues. Here’s why it’s crucial:
1. Compliance with HDB Regulations
•HDB has strict guidelines on renovation works to ensure the structural integrity of the building and the safety of its occupants.
•Licensed contractors are trained and authorized to carry out approved works, such as hacking non-structural walls, waterproofing bathrooms, and installing built-in fixtures.
•Hiring a non-licensed contractor could lead to illegal modifications, resulting in fines or having to undo the work at your expense.
2. Quality Assurance
Contractors on HDB’s approved list are vetted for their qualifications, experience, and adherence to quality standards. This minimizes the risk of shoddy workmanship or the use of substandard materials.
Licensed contractors are also required to follow HDB’s renovation code of conduct, ensuring professionalism and accountability.
3. Warranty for Workmanship
HDB-licensed contractors often provide a defects liability period, during which they will rectify any issues that arise from the renovation.This gives homeowners peace of mind knowing that any post-renovation problems will be addressed without additional cost.
4. Protecting Your Investment
•Renovating an HDB flat is a significant financial commitment. Hiring a licensed contractor ensures that your investment is protected by delivering compliant, durable, and high-quality results.
•It also helps maintain or even increase the resale value of your flat by ensuring the renovation is properly documented and approved.
5. How to Verify an HDB-Licensed Contractor
•Visit HDB’s official website to check the Directory of Renovation Contractors (DRC)
•Verify the contractor’s credentials before signing any contracts.
