SingRank Singapore
A 4-room HDB flat in Bedok is the workhorse property of Singapore's east — approximately 90 sqm of liveable space across living, dining, kitchen, two bedrooms, master, and two bathrooms. It is the most balloted flat type at every Bedok BTO launch and the most actively traded resale unit in the estate, with newly-MOP'd 4-room units at Bedok South Horizon reportedly trading above S$1.1 million in recent transactions.
If you have just collected keys at Bedok North Springs (433-unit BTO, TOP December 2027) or signed for a 1980s resale flat in Chai Chee, Bedok South, or Bedok Reservoir — this guide covers what your renovation will actually cost in 2026.

Bedok 4-Room Landscape in 2026
Bedok's 4-room market splits into three clear segments, each with very different renovation needs.
New BTO 4-Room
Three Bedok BTO projects shape the 4-room renovation conversation through 2028:
-
Bedok North Springs — 433 units across 3 blocks (16 storeys), launched February 2024, TOP December 2027. The mix is 2-room Flexi, 4-room, and 5-room (no 3-room offered), per the official HDB sales brochure.
-
Bedok South Blossoms — May 2023 BTO, 1,640 units, expected TOP September 2027.
-
Ping Yi Court at Chai Chee — October 2025 BTO, 862 units, expected TOP around July 2028 (HDB October 2025 BTO sales exercise).
Recently MOP'd 4-Room
Bedok Beacon (TOP 2018), Bedok South Horizon, and the Eastlace blocks make up the recently-MOP'd stock. These flats typically need only personalisation rather than full renovation.
Older 1970s–80s Resale
Chai Chee, Bedok South Avenue 1, Bedok Reservoir Crescent, and older Bedok North blocks dominate the older resale segment. These typically need full renovation including hacking, waterproofing, and complete tile replacement.
This split matters because 4-room renovation cost in a Bedok BTO is fundamentally different from a 4-room resale flat. A new BTO needs flooring, kitchen, and basic finishing — typically S$15,000–S$18,000. A 30-year-old Bedok resale flat needs full hacking, replumbing, rewiring, and complete tile replacement — typically S$30,000–S$40,000. Getting this wrong is how Bedok homeowners blow their renovation budget.

BTO vs Resale: Which Bedok 4-Room Path Are You On?
This is the single most important question to settle before quoting any contractor.
You Are a 4-Room BTO Owner If:
-
You balloted Bedok North Springs (Feb 2024 launch, TOP Dec 2027), Bedok South Blossoms (May 2023, TOP Sep 2027), or Ping Yi Court (Oct 2025, expected TOP around July 2028).
-
Your flat is brand new with HDB-issued flooring (or no floor at all if you opted out of OCS).
-
You need structural carpentry, kitchen build-out, full painting, and bathroom completion — not demolition.
-
Realistic budget: S$15,000–S$22,000 for the contractor scope, plus appliances and furniture separately.
You Are a 4-Room Resale Owner If:
-
You purchased a 1990s–2000s flat in Bedok Reservoir, Tampines-side Bedok, or newer Bedok extensions — tiles likely still sound, partial renovation may suffice.
-
You purchased a 1970s–80s flat in Chai Chee, Bedok South Avenue 1, Bedok North older blocks, or Bedok Reservoir Crescent old stock — full hacking required.
-
You need demolition plus new build — every surface is being replaced.
-
Realistic budget: S$30,000–S$45,000 for the contractor scope. The S$1 million+ resale prices recorded at Bedok South Horizon reflect the high renovation investment new owners are willing to make.
Vinyl vs Hacking — How to Choose for a Bedok 4-Room
Pick Vinyl Whole House (S$30,199–S$31,880) If:
-
The flat is from 1990s onwards (Bedok Reservoir, Tampines-side extensions).
-
Existing tiles are not hollow when tapped, with no visible cracks.
-
You expect to resell within 5–7 years and do not want to over-invest.
-
Your bathroom yards do not show waterproofing failure (no peeling paint at the flat below's ceiling).
Pick Hacking Whole House (S$36,990–S$38,490) If:
-
The flat is from the 1970s–80s — the Bedok stock that needs hacking is concentrated in Chai Chee, Bedok South, older Bedok North, and Bedok Reservoir Crescent.
-
Existing tiles sound hollow, are visibly cracked, or have been patch-repaired multiple times.
-
The kitchen yard or bathroom shows waterproofing failure (tell-tale signs: water staining at the flat below).
-
You are changing the flat layout — opening kitchen to dining, removing non-structural walls, relocating bathroom doors.
-
This is your long-term home (10+ years). Hacking adds 25–30 years of waterproofing and tile life.
The S$6,791 difference between the cheapest vinyl and the cheapest hacking package is significant — but for a 30-year-old Bedok flat that you plan to keep, hacking is the right structural investment.
What Is Included in an RCS 4-Room Whole House Package
Each RCS 4-room whole house resale package covers the complete renovation scope:
-
Hacking and disposal — existing fixtures, cabinets, and tiles (hacking package only).
-
Masonry and tiling — floor and wall tiles supplied and laid throughout the flat.
-
Waterproofing — full bathroom and kitchen yard waterproofing under the hacking package; partial top-up for vinyl package.
-
Kitchen carpentry — bottom and top cabinets, countertop (quartz or solid surface depending on tier), sink, tap, and backsplash.
-
Bathroom works — vanity, toilet bowl, shower fittings, towel rail, and full waterproofing.
-
Flooring — vinyl SPC for vinyl package, ceramic tiles for hacking package, throughout living, dining, and bedrooms.
-
Painting — full unit interior painting in selected colour scheme.
-
Electrical — power point upgrades, light points, and distribution box upgrade if required (subject to LEW certification).
-
Plumbing — kitchen and bathroom water inlet/outlet, plus washing machine connection.
-
Project management — single point of contact, on-site supervision, and HDB permit application.
-
3D design rendering — professional design visualisation included before commencement.
Items typically not included (budget separately): kitchen appliances, fridge, washer/dryer, loose furniture, light fixtures beyond standard issue, curtains, and any custom-built features such as walk-in wardrobes, platform beds, or feature wall panels.
Realistic Total Budget for a Bedok 4-Room
The contractor package handles the build. To move in fully you also need appliances, lighting, and furniture. Realistic totals by tier:
For BTO Owners
For Resale Owners
These align with broader Singapore market data: 4-room renovations typically run S$35,000–S$140,000 depending on flat condition and finish quality. The RCS packages cover the realistic working range for Bedok.
Bedok-Specific 4-Room Considerations
Older Block Layouts and Structural Walls
Many 1970s–80s Bedok 4-room flats in Chai Chee, Bedok South, and older Bedok North blocks have structural walls between living and bedroom 1 that cannot be removed. Check before planning open-concept layouts. RCS handles HDB renovation permit applications, but structural alterations require additional approval under the HDB renovation permit framework.
Multigenerational Living
Bedok has Singapore's largest elderly resident population, and many 4-room buyers in the estate are young families purchasing near aging parents. Plan for:
-
Anti-slip floor tiles in bathrooms for elderly guests — discuss tile rating (R10 or R11) at design stage.
-
Grab bar pre-installation points in master bathroom — typically free if specified upfront.
-
Lower kitchen cabinet height for elderly cooking sessions — discuss with carpenter at design stage.
-
Sliding bathroom door alternatives — sliding doors save 1.2m radius for narrower corridors in older blocks.
Bedok BTO Specific Notes
For Bedok North Springs buyers (TOP December 2027), the project does not include 3-room flats — only 2-room Flexi, 4-room, and 5-room per the HDB sales brochure. This is the prime Bedok project for 4-room BTO renovation in 2027–2028.
Bedok Resale Specific Notes
Bedok 4-room resale prices have climbed steeply, with newly-MOP'd 4-room flats at Bedok South Horizon recording transactions above S$1.1 million. For these high-value flats, the S$38,490 Premium Hacking package is a proportionate investment that protects asset value over a 10–20 year holding period.

How to Save Without Compromising Quality
Practical tips for Bedok 4-room buyers:
-
For BTO: take HDB Optional Component Scheme strategically. OCS flooring is competitive for unit-wide tiling — compare with Bare Unit Tiles before committing.
-
For BTO: choose Move-In package if HDB has finished the floor. Saves S$7,600 versus the Bare Unit tier; renovate properly after MOP if needed.
-
For Resale: vinyl over hacking saves S$6,791 if your tiles are sound. Real upside if you plan to flip in 5 years.
-
Component packages over whole-house for partial refresh. If only kitchen + 2 toilets need work, mix-and-match Kitchen Most Popular Hacking (S$14,390) plus 2 Toilets Most Popular Hacking (S$12,290) totals S$26,680 versus full whole-house hacking at S$36,990 — saving S$10,310.
-
Resist scope creep on the first phase. Custom carpentry beyond package allowance, custom feature walls, and structural alterations all add cost. Stick with package scope first; add custom later.
-
Buy your own appliances during sales periods. Mega Sale and year-end clearance can save S$2,000–S$3,000 on a complete appliance package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are RCS 4-room package prices fixed?
Yes — the prices on RCS product pages are fixed for the standard package scope. Variations such as additional cabinet runs, premium imported tiles outside partner range, structural alterations requiring HDB permits, or custom carpentry features are quoted separately before commencement. There are no surprise charges within the standard scope.
Can I split the renovation across multiple package tiers?
Yes. Many Bedok 4-room owners use a hybrid approach — kitchen hacking package for the heavy work zone, kitchen cabinet only for less-used areas, or whole house vinyl with separate toilet hacking. RCS quotes each component as priced on the individual product pages, with project management coordinating across all scopes.
Is GST included in the package price?
The published RCS prices are the listed amounts on the product pages. Confirm GST treatment with the contractor at quotation stage, as Singapore GST is currently 9% per the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore.
How does HDB renovation permit work for a Bedok 4-room?
RCS handles the HDB renovation permit application as part of the project management scope. Typical approval is 1–3 weeks from submission. Reference the HDB renovation permits page for the official rules.
Can I renovate the bathroom of my Bedok BTO before 3 years?
For most renovation works, yes. There are restrictions on specific structural works (such as bathroom hacking within the first 3 years for some HDB block types). Read more at Can You Renovate a BTO Bathroom Before 3 Years.
My Bedok flat has been renovated before — do I still need hacking?
Not necessarily. If the previous renovation was within 10 years, the existing waterproofing membrane and tiling may still be sound. Get a contractor to inspect tile soundness (tap test) and check the flat below for water staining. If both pass, the vinyl whole house package at S$30,199 is sufficient.
What about the warranty?
RCS provides workmanship warranty on installations under the package. Specific warranty terms (cabinet hardware, countertop, waterproofing, electrical) are confirmed in the contract and vary by component.
Do I need to move out during a Bedok 4-room renovation?
For a Bare Unit BTO renovation, most owners do not move in until handover — there is no flat occupancy yet. For a Whole House Resale renovation with hacking, you should not occupy the flat during the 8–10 week timeline. For Vinyl Whole House, partial occupancy is possible after Week 5 if you can manage with one bathroom and limited kitchen access — discuss with the project manager.
Can the package handle unique Bedok block layouts?
Yes — RCS has completed projects across Bedok including older 1970s blocks in Chai Chee, 1990s blocks in Bedok Reservoir, and newer post-2010 blocks in Bedok South Horizon. The standard package handles typical 4-room layouts; non-standard configurations (corner units, extra-large layouts, previously-renovated units) are quoted with adjustments.
What if I want to combine 2 bedrooms into 1 master suite?
This is a structural alteration requiring HDB approval. RCS handles the permit application, but expect additional masonry, beam reinforcement (if required), and additional finishing — quoted separately on top of the standard package. Typical additional cost: S$3,000–S$8,000 depending on wall structure.
Are there any Bedok 4-room BTO projects launching after 2025?
Bedok North Springs (Feb 2024 launch, TOP Dec 2027), Bedok South Blossoms (May 2023, TOP Sep 2027), and Ping Yi Court at Chai Chee (Oct 2025, expected TOP around July 2028) are the active Bedok 4-room BTO projects. New launches are announced on the official HDB BTO portal.
