In 2024, CASE (Consumer Association of Singapore) received 962 complaints against renovation contractors and about 97% were against non CaseTrust-accredited contractors.
This highlights the risks involved in hiring unreliable contractors.
We’ll be sharing more about how you’re protected when engaging CaseTrust-accredited renovation firms and how you can find them easily.
What is CaseTrust?
CaseTrust is the accreditation arm of the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
This accreditation scheme was created to raise standards in the renovation industry and give homeowners peace of mind.
The Role of CaseTrust in Renovation?
An interior renovation firm that displays the CaseTrust mark has undergone rigorous assessment to ensure good business practices.
Areas of assessment include the firm's policies, systems and professionalism of their staff.
By earning the CaseTrust accreditation, the firm demonstrates their commitment to fair trading and transparency.
Why Choose CaseTrust-accredited Renovation Firms?
Engaging a CaseTrust-accredited renovation firm provides essential safeguards before, during and after your renovation.
For example, all CaseTrust-accredited renovation firms are required to provide 100% deposit guarantee to combat renovation deposit scams.

So… How do HomeMatch Make Money?
Unlike most platforms, we do not collect sales commissions.
We profit by charging the renovation firms an upfront advertising fee (It might be even lower than their own advertising costs!). This enables us to be a neutral party and share recommendations or advice in your best interest!
Fun Fact: This is actually the top non-renovation related question we get from speaking with homeowners daily! 😅
CaseTrust, however, is not a guaranteed silver bullet. About 3% of renovation-related disputes last year came from CaseTrust-accredited renovation firms.
The key difference is that every complaint against a CaseTrust-accredited renovation firm was resolved!
This is likely because these firms must attend mediation at CASE if requested and have a structured feedback system that ensures disputes are addressed within 21 working days.
While it’s not compulsory, choosing to work with a CaseTrust-accredited renovation firm should be a no-brainer for homeowners who want greater protection and peace of mind.
