Clementi HDB Renovation 2026: Packages & Prices from $5,590

You collected your Clementi HDB keys, but every contractor quote reads differently, and none lists a real price. One firm promises the world; another hides the scope behind a deposit. Renovating an HDB flat in Clementi should not feel like a gamble on hidden costs. Clementi is a mature estate, so many flats need ageing-flat works that a vague quote conveniently leaves out. This guide shows the fixed-price packages an HDB-licensed contractor offers Clementi owners in 2026, from a kitchen cabinet at SGD 5,490 to a whole-house resale fit-out. You will see exactly what each package covers, and what it does not.

HDB Renovation in Clementi: How RCS Serves the Estate

RCS is an HDB-licensed renovation contractor operating island-wide, and Clementi falls within that coverage. We do not run a Clementi shopfront. Instead, we serve Clementi owners directly, with fixed-price packages and the licence to submit your renovation permit.

Does RCS cover Clementi flats?

Yes, RCS covers Clementi as an HDB-licensed contractor working across Singapore. The firm operates under HDB Licence HB-11-5877Z, with BizSafe Level 3 and BCA registration, per HDB's contractor requirements (2026). That registration lets RCS legally perform works and file permits for any HDB town, Clementi included. There is no physical Clementi branch, and none is needed. Renovation contractors serve owners island-wide once licensed. So a Clementi resident gets the same fixed pricing, 3D rendering, and scope clarity as any other town. To understand why the licence matters most, read our guide on HDB licensed renovation contractors before you sign anything.

Why fixed-price packages suit Clementi owners

Fixed-price packages give Clementi owners a clear budget before works begin, not an open-ended quote. RCS publishes every package price upfront, so the scope defines the cost. This matters in a mature estate where ageing-flat surprises tempt contractors to pad open quotes. A published price removes that pressure. You compare the works line by line, then decide. The trade-off is that you choose finishes from defined options, not a fully bespoke palette. For most Clementi households, that clarity is worth more than an unpriced "custom" promise. Our HDB renovation cost guide explains how package pricing compares against itemised quotes.

★ Clementi context: a mature estate with ageing flats

Clementi is one of Singapore's older mature towns, so many of its flats are decades old and need ageing-flat works. Older HDB units commonly require fresh waterproofing, full rewiring, and screed repair before finishes go down, per HDB's renovation guidelines (2026). That changes which package fits. A move-in cosmetic refresh suits a newer flat, but a tired resale unit often needs whole-house works. Clementi's resale stock skews toward 3-room and 4-room layouts from earlier building phases. So toilets past their waterproofing life and dated electrical points are frequent. Recognising your flat's age first prevents underscoping. Our notes on toilet waterproofing and the HDB 3-year rule explain one of the most common ageing-flat fixes.

Clementi HDB Renovation Packages and Prices (2026)

RCS offers four package families for Clementi flats: kitchen cabinet, toilet, move-in, and whole-house resale. The table below lists each type with its real published price, so you can match scope to budget at a glance.

Kitchen cabinet package from SGD 5,490

The RCS kitchen cabinet package starts at SGD 5,490 and covers top and bottom carpentry with a solid surface worktop. It is the entry point for Clementi owners refreshing only the kitchen. The price includes carcass, doors, and a fixed worktop allowance, with 3D rendering of the layout. This suits a flat where the rest of the home is still sound. The trade-off is that flooring and tiling sit outside this scope. View the full kitchen cabinet BTO package at SGD 5,490 or browse all kitchen cabinet packages. Our kitchen cabinet buyer's guide explains the finishes worth paying for.

Toilet package from SGD 10,390

The RCS two-toilet resale package starts at SGD 10,390 using an overlay method over the existing tiles. Overlay avoids full hacking, which protects the original waterproofing membrane where it still holds. The scope covers new tiling, fresh waterproofing, and a fittings allowance for both toilets. Many Clementi resale flats need this, as older toilets often sit past their waterproofing life. The trade-off is height: overlay raises the floor slightly. To weigh methods, read our comparison of overlay versus hacking bathrooms. See the two-toilet overlay package at SGD 10,390 for the full inclusions.

Move-in packages from SGD 7,290

RCS move-in packages start at SGD 7,290 for a 3-room flat, rising to SGD 7,390 for 4-room and SGD 7,490 for 5-room. These cover a cosmetic refresh: painting, basic carpentry, and essential fittings. A move-in scope suits Clementi flats that are structurally sound but dated in look. It gets you living comfortably without a full teardown. The trade-off is that deep works, like rewiring or new flooring throughout, fall outside it. So an older flat may outgrow this scope. Compare the 3-room move-in package at SGD 7,290 against your flat's condition. Our move-in BTO renovation package guide details what each tier includes.

Whole-house resale packages from SGD 28,990

RCS whole-house resale packages start at SGD 28,990 for a 3-room flat and SGD 30,199 for a 4-room flat, both with vinyl flooring. This is the full fit-out: kitchen, toilets, flooring, painting, and carpentry in one scope. It fits the older Clementi resale flats that need everything addressed at once. A whole-house package handles waterproofing, electrical, and finishes together, avoiding piecemeal cost creep. The trade-off is the larger upfront budget. For ageing units, though, it often costs less than separate scopes stacked over time. See the 3-room whole-house resale package at SGD 28,990, or explore 3-room resale packages in full.

Which Clementi Package Fits Your Flat?

The right package depends on your flat's age, condition, and how much you want changed. Match your situation to one of the three common Clementi scenarios below.

Newer flat: a move-in refresh is enough

Choose a move-in package when your Clementi flat is structurally sound and needs only a cosmetic lift. Newer units, or flats already renovated once, rarely need fresh waterproofing or rewiring. So a refresh of paint, basic carpentry, and fittings does the job from SGD 7,290. You move in fast and keep the budget tight. The trade-off is limited scope, with no new flooring throughout. This route suits owners who value speed and a clear, low price. It avoids paying for ageing-flat works the flat does not require. For a sound unit, over-renovating wastes money you could save.

Tired resale flat: go whole-house

Choose a whole-house package when an older Clementi resale flat needs everything addressed at once. Decades-old units often pair failing waterproofing with dated wiring and worn flooring. Tackling them separately stacks call-out costs and prolongs disruption. A single whole-house scope from SGD 28,990 handles kitchen, toilets, flooring, and carpentry together. You renovate once, not in stages. The trade-off is the larger upfront budget. For a tired flat, though, the bundled price usually beats piecemeal scopes over time. Browse the full range of 5-room resale packages if yours is a larger layout.

Targeted upgrade: kitchen or toilets only

Choose a single-scope package when only one area of your Clementi flat is dated. Many owners keep the bedrooms and living room, then upgrade just the kitchen or both toilets. A kitchen cabinet scope starts at SGD 5,490, and a two-toilet overlay scope at SGD 10,390. This targets your budget at the rooms that need it. The trade-off is coordination if you add scopes later. So plan the full picture before committing to one area. A clear plan avoids hacking twice or repainting after a later upgrade.

What Older Clementi Flats Usually Need

Mature Clementi flats often need works newer units skip: waterproofing renewal, rewiring, and screed repair. Knowing these common ageing-flat items helps you pick the right package and avoid an underscoped quote.

Waterproofing and the HDB 3-year rule

Older Clementi toilets frequently need fresh waterproofing, because membranes degrade over decades of use. Under HDB rules, owners of resale flats wait three years before hacking floor finishes in wet areas, per HDB guidelines (2026). That rule shapes your method choice. For older resale toilets, overlay tiling renews the surface without breaching the membrane below. This is why the RCS toilet package uses overlay as standard. Skipping waterproofing renewal risks leaks into the unit below, and costly disputes. So treat it as essential, not optional, in an ageing flat. Our guide to toilet renovation cost and packages sets out realistic figures for resale toilets.

Rewiring, flooring, and hidden ageing-flat costs

Older Clementi flats often need rewiring and new flooring, costs that vague quotes quietly omit. Decades-old electrical points may lack the capacity for modern appliances, so partial rewiring is common. Flooring is the other big item, as original tiles crack or lift with age. Vinyl overlay offers a fast, water-resistant finish without hacking the existing screed. These items push a tired flat toward a whole-house scope rather than a cosmetic refresh. Underestimating them is the classic budgeting error. Read our breakdown of hidden renovation costs so no line item surprises you mid-project.

Screed repair and levelling before finishes

Older Clementi floors often need screed repair or levelling before new finishes go down. Decades of settling leave uneven surfaces that telegraph through vinyl or tiles. A proper levelling system corrects this, so the final floor sits flat and lasts. Skipping it causes hollow spots, lifting edges, and early wear. This preparatory work is invisible once finished, which is why thin quotes leave it out. So ask whether levelling is included in any flooring scope. Our guide to professional tiling and levelling explains why preparation decides the finish quality.

How RCS Prices Stay Transparent for Clementi Owners

RCS publishes fixed package prices and submits your permit directly, so accountability and cost sit in one place. That structure removes the markup and the guesswork common to open quotes.

Fixed pricing with no design markup

RCS charges a direct package price, with no separate design-firm margin added on top. As a direct HDB-licensed contractor, the firm performs the works itself rather than sub-contracting through a designer. So your payment covers the renovation, not a coordination fee layered above it. The price you see is the price for the defined scope, with 3D rendering included. The trade-off is fewer fully bespoke options than a design-led firm offers. For budget-focused Clementi owners, that is usually the right trade. Learn how the direct route works in our guide to engaging a direct renovation contractor.

Who submits your Clementi renovation permit

RCS submits your HDB renovation permit directly, because the firm holds the licence to do so. HDB requires a registered contractor to apply for permits covering hacking, tiling, and electrical works, per HDB (2026). As the licensed firm on record, RCS carries the compliance accountability for your Clementi flat. You are not chasing a sub-contractor one layer down. The firm on the permit is the firm HDB contacts. This single point of accountability protects both your timeline and your deposit. It also keeps your works inside HDB rules, which matters in a mature estate with shared walls and neighbours below. Understand the process and fees in our HDB renovation permit and APEX fees guide before works begin.
