Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average timeline for an office fit-out in Singapore?
For a standard office fit-out in Singapore (approx. 2,000 - 5,000 sqft), the timeline typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks. This includes 1-2 weeks for design and material selection, 1-2 weeks for BCA/Fire Safety submissions, and 4-6 weeks for renovation works. Complex projects requiring extensive M&E works or structural changes may take 8-12 weeks.
How does a BCA-registered firm ensure commercial safety compliance?
As a BCA-registered firm, we ensure compliance through a rigorous 3-step process:
1. Pre-Submission Checks: Our Qualified Persons (QP) review all designs against current SCDF Fire Code and BCA accessibility standards.
2. Permit Management: We handle all necessary submissions to BCA, URA, and FSSD before work commences.
3. Site Supervision: Licensed CoreTrade personnel supervise critical works to ensure they meet approved specifications and safety regulations.
What are the permit requirements for commercial renovation in Singapore?
Commercial renovation in Singapore typically requires submissions to multiple authorities depending on scope: BCA for structural works, SCDF for fire safety modifications (sprinklers, fire doors, emergency lighting), URA for change of use, and MCST for mall or office tower fit-outs. As a BCA-registered firm, we manage all submissions in-house to keep your project on schedule.
How much does a commercial renovation cost in Singapore?
Commercial renovation costs in Singapore vary by space type and fit-out level:
• Office renovation: S$50–S$180 per sqft
• Retail / mall fit-out: S$65–S$150 per sqft
• F&B / shophouse: S$80–S$200 per sqft
• Office reinstatement: S$8–S$25 per sqft
These ranges cover M&E works, false ceilings, partitioning, flooring, joinery, and permit fees. Request a free itemised quotation for your specific project.
What is the difference between office reinstatement and renovation?
Office renovation involves fitting out a space to your requirements — partitions, flooring, ceilings, M&E, and joinery. Office reinstatement is the reverse process: stripping a space back to its original bare-shell condition as required by your lease agreement at the end of tenancy. Reinstatement typically includes demolition of all tenant-installed works, restoration of original flooring and walls, and relocation of fire safety systems back to their original positions.
How do I choose the right commercial renovation firm in Singapore?
Key criteria when selecting a commercial renovation contractor in Singapore:
1. BCA Registration: Verify the firm is listed on the BCA Directory when structural works are involved.
2. Track Record: Ask for references and photos of completed commercial projects of similar scope.
3. In-house Permit Management: Choose a firm that handles MCST, BCA and SCDF submissions in-house rather than outsourcing.
4. Fixed-Price Contract: Avoid firms that provide vague quotations without full itemisation.
5. Insurance: Ensure the firm carries Public Liability Insurance and Work Injury Compensation coverage.
