In every new HDB BTO, one feature decides whether the flat feels functional, stylish, and liveable — and that is carpentry. From your kitchen cabinets and wardrobes to study desks and TV consoles, carpentry not only provides storage but also sets the tone for your home’s design.
At HDBGROUPRENO.SG PTE. LTD, we believe carpentry is the heart of HDB BTO renovations. With our Group Reno Packages, we specialise in delivering customised carpentry at affordable rates, helping homeowners save 10–20% without compromising quality.
