3 Key Things to Check in Your Renovation Contract

Besides big life events like buying a house or getting married, renovating your new home is a big deal too. Picking a reliable design firm can save you loads of time and hassle with your renovation.

Even for smaller projects, having a written contract is crucial. Omni Design has some tips to help you navigate the details of your renovation contract.

1. Details of the renovation project

   
   

   Make sure all your personal info in the renovation contract is correct. A detailed contract helps protect both you and the design firm if any issues come up. Drafting a contract might seem a bit overwhelming, but the more details you include, the better it’ll cover everything.

   
   

2. Renovation project scope and pricing

   
   

   When picking a design firm, don’t just focus on the total price. Contracts can vary a lot, so make sure you’re comparing apples to apples. Check that each contract breaks down the different stages of your renovation, not just the list of materials. For example, it should detail tasks like general services, demolition, electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, and more.

   
   

3. Details of the design firm

   
   

   There are tons of interior design firms in Singapore, but not all can meet your renovation expectations. You might have heard stories of homeowners getting stuck with incomplete projects because the firms they hired took off with their money. This leaves them with the double trouble of losing money and having to find a new firm to finish the job.

   
   

   So, it’s really important to be careful when choosing an interior design firm. Start by checking out the details of the firm and make sure they have trusted accreditation from the industry. A reliable design firm will make your renovation process much smoother. For example, RCMA Singapore Renovation Contractors and Material Suppliers Association (RCMA) is a well-regarded trade association in the renovation and building materials industry.
