·8 Home renovation costs in Singapore vary depending on a few factors such as the size and
type of your home. The average renovation cost of a resale 4-room HDB is around $67,000,
while a resale 4-room condominium will cost around $82,000. A resale home is one where
the new owner is taking over the property from the previous owner.

Meanwhile, a new 4-room HDB will cost around $44,000 to renovate, while a new 4-room
condominium will cost around $39,000.

(a) Calculate the percentage difference between the average cost of renovating a resale
4-room HDB and a new 4-room HDB, using the new 4-room HDB renovation cost
as the base

Answer .......................... % [1]

(b) The following are other factors that will affect the renovation cost.
• Hacking means tearing down walls, rebuilding walls, or touching up walls.
• Flooring installation - either using ceramic tiles, laminate or marble
• You can built-in wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, desks and other fixtures
instead of buying from furniture shops. This is known as carpentry.
• Decoration of walls - either painting or applying wallpaper.

8 Home renovation costs in Singapore vary depending on a few factors such as the size and
type of your home. The average renovation cost of a resale 4-room HDB is around $67,000,
while a resale 4-room condominium will cost around $82,000. A resale home is one where
the new owner is taking over the property from the previous owner.

Meanwhile, a new 4-room HDB will cost around $44,000 to renovate, while a new 4-room
condominium will cost around $39,000.

(a) Calculate the percentage difference between the average cost ofrenovating a resale
4-room HDB and a new 4-room HDB, using the new 4-room HDB renovation cost
as the base.

(b) The following are other factors that will affect the renovation cost.
• Hacking means tearing down walls, rebuilding walls, or touching up walls.
• Flooring installation - either using ceramic tiles, laminate or marble
• You can built-in wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, desks and other fixtures
instead of buying from furniture shops. This is known as carpentry.

Ben and Jenny planned to get married and they bought a new 3-room HDB of size 70 square
metTe. They set aside a budget of $1 2 000 for renovating their new home. The following
is a list of things they would like to have.

Laminate flooring for the whole house

Painting for the wall
Hack the wall between master bedroom and
guest room
5-metre full height wardrobe (sliding door)
5-metre full height kitchen cabinet
2-metre full height shoe cabinet

(ii) Is their budget sufficient for their renovation plan? Support your answer
with the necessary working.
Answer:

Cost oflarninate flooring= $43 x 70 sqrn = $3010 [Accept $3014] • 1

Cost of painting= $650 vVl t .
Cost of hacking= $500

Cost of full height wardrobe (sliding door)= $837 x 5 m = $418 [Cl]

Cost of full height kitchen cabinet= $885 x 5 m = $4425 [C 1]

Cost of full height shoe cabinet= $804 x 2 m = $1608 [Cl]

Total cost ofrenovation = $3010 + $650 + $500 + $4185 + $4425 + $1608
[Cl for adding 6 individual costs]
= $14378 [Accept $14382] [Al]
Since $14378 > $12000, their budget is insufficient.
