HDB Kitchen Renovation: 2026 Package Costs

An HDB kitchen renovation package in Singapore is an all-inclusive contractor service covering the complete removal of old cabinetry, installation of custom low-formaldehyde E0 plywood cabinets, fabrication of quartz or sintered stone countertops, and plumbing reconnections. Direct contractor kitchen packages in Singapore range from $5,800 to $8,900, delivering a turnkey cooking space within 10 to 14 working days without the 25% middleman markups charged by interior design firms.

Project Threshold Notice: Nouvelle Workz delivers turnkey kitchen carpentry, masonry, and whole-house renovations with a minimum project spend of $3,000. We do not provide ad-hoc repair work such as replacing loose hinges, replacing single drawers, or patching laminate scratches.

In every Singapore home, the kitchen is the operational engine of daily life. Yet, it is also the zone most susceptible to heat, oil smoke, water leaks, and termite incursions. For many homeowners living in mature HDB flats, old particleboard cabinets begin to sag, laminate edges peel away, and outdated countertops stain easily from turmeric and coffee.

When you decide to overhaul your kitchen, you do not need to embark on a disruptive, whole-house remodel. With our turnkey 2-week HDB kitchen renovation packages, you can strip away decades of grime, replace worn carpentry with zero-formaldehyde E0 grade plywood, and install heat-proof sintered stone countertops—all at direct factory rates starting from $5,800+.

1. Understanding Foot Run (pfr) Pricing for Custom Carpentry

In Singapore, custom built-in cabinetry is universally measured and priced per foot run (pfr)—which translates to 1 linear foot (approximately 30.5 cm) along your wall length. Homeowners evaluating quotations should understand how individual components stack up at direct factory rates:

Carpentry & Countertop ComponentRate Per Foot Run (SGD)*Specifications & Inclusions
Top Kitchen Cabinets$110 – $135 / pfrEco E0 plywood internal carcass, designer laminate, soft-close hinges, hydraulic dish rack.
Bottom Kitchen Cabinets$120 – $150 / pfrHeavy-duty moisture-resistant base, ABS trimming on all doors, 3 sets of soft-closing cutlery drawers.
Engineered Quartz Countertop$95 – $125 / pfr15mm solid quartz slab, polished front profile, single undermount sink cutout, stove hob cutout.
Premium Sintered Stone Countertop$130 – $175 / pfr12mm sintered compact stone, zero porosity, high thermal resistance (direct hot pans), scratch-proof surface.

* Pricing Disclaimer (For Reference Only): All carpentry foot-run rates and package estimates are factory-direct reference figures. Actual costs depend on precise on-site measurements, selected laminate brands (such as Lamitak or Jennings), stone slab choices, and internal hardware configurations (such as Blum soft-close runners). A project minimum spend applies ($3,000). Prices exclude prevailing GST.

2. All-Inclusive Turnkey Kitchen Packages (2026 Guide)

Instead of calculating a dozen separate items, our turnkey kitchen packages offer complete transparency. A standard HDB Full Kitchen Makeover ($5,800 – $8,900) encompasses:

  • Complete Demolition: Safe dismantling and disposal of existing upper and lower cabinets, old countertops, and disconnected sink lines.
  • 20ft Top & Bottom Custom Carpentry: Fabricated in our local Singapore workshop using certified low-VOC E0 plywood to protect your family from harmful formaldehyde off-gassing.
  • 10ft Solid Countertop: Choice of premium non-porous Quartz or luxury Sintered Stone.
  • Plumbing Reconnection: Stainless steel inlet pipes, PVC bottle trap drainage setup, and precision undermount kitchen sink installation.
  • Masonry Base Construction: 50mm wet cement mortar base with matching ceramic tiles to protect bottom cabinets from floor mopping moisture.

“Cheap kitchen packages on the market often cut corners by using particleboard or MDF, which swell like sponges the moment your kitchen sink develops a minor drip. We exclusively use solid core marine-grade E0 plywood with ABS edge banding. Your kitchen cabinets should last 15 years, not 2.”

— James, Founder of Nouvelle Workz

4. Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hack my HDB kitchen wall to make an open concept design?

Only non-structural partition walls can be hacked. Before any demolition, an HDB hacking permit must be submitted by a BCA-registered contractor. If your kitchen wall shares a reinforced concrete (RC) column or beam, partial hacking with a pass-through opening may be required.

Why is E0 plywood better than standard plywood?

E0 grade plywood has formaldehyde emission levels below 0.5 mg/L, making it virtually odorless and safe for enclosed residential spaces. Standard carpentry plywood often off-gasses harmful VOC chemicals that irritate eyes and exacerbate asthma for months after installation.

Does Nouvelle Workz accept small kitchen repair jobs?

No. We specialize in comprehensive kitchen renovations and room makeovers with a minimum project commitment of $3,000. We do not provide ad-hoc repair or handyman services such as replacing broken hinges or patching minor scratches.
