Being HDB-approved shouldn't be a factor when it comes to evaluating an Interior firm.

‍

Interior Firms do not have to be HDB-approved as Interior Designers don’t execute the renovation works themselves – they are outsourced to HDB-approved sub-contractors.

You can verify the sub-contractor’s license via the HDB Directory of Renovator Contractors (DRC).

What does a HDB license signify?

According to HDB, only Renovation Contractors listed in the DRC are allowed to carry out renovations in HDB flats as they’ve underwent necessary trainings on HDB regulations.

HDB license DOES NOT signify CREDIBILITY

Having the license does not mean that HDB endorses the credibility of a firm.

Homeowners are still required to do their due diligence when engaging an Interior Firm.

If you’re looking for credible Interior Designers, look out for the CaseTrust mark

Renovators with the CaseTrust mark undergo rigorous assessment which verifies that it has good business practices.

Working with Renovators with the CaseTrust mark ensures that you’re protected before, during, and after the renovation.
