THE I-PLAN STUDIO™ at a Glance.
Where Design Authority Meets Craft.
Founded in 2019 to bridge creative vision with the technical mastery of in-house craftsmen, we design spaces built for the demands of daily use. Through a structured and transparent process, we ensure your project feels clear from the start, with total certainty on what is happening, what it costs, and exactly what comes next.
Most renovation journeys begin with a collection of references—a folder of saved images and a feeling that is hard to put into words. Our role is to guide you through your renovation journey, identify the underlying rhythm in what you’ve gathered, and provide the technical framework and in-house team to ensure that what you see in 720VR is exactly what you stand in at handover.
"Most firms lead with style. Some lead with process. A few lead with craft. We bring all three—with clarity built into every stage."
Designed around how you live.
Every space begins with your routines—the morning rush and quiet evenings. We design for the rituals of your daily life, focusing on how light moves through your home and how your storage needs will evolve over years, not just how it looks on handover day.
Because when design follows daily life, everything else falls into place.
In-house team from initial drafts to handover
Our designers work directly with in-house tilers, carpenters, and site technicians all within an integrated system.
When the same team carries a project from concept to completion, design intent stays intact. Coordination remains tight, decisions move faster, and what’s planned is carried through on site.
Fewer handoff gaps. Fewer misinterpretations. Greater accountability from start to finish.
✦ Coordination stays tight
✦ Faster rectifications on site
✦ Design intent carried through to build
A system that keeps everything clear.
Line-item quotations before you commit.
Written approvals before any changes proceed.
Milestone sign-offs at every stage.
So you always know what’s happening, what it costs, and what comes next.
Decisions are supported by clear visual walkthroughs before work begins, so nothing is left to guesswork.
our process - how we work
Six milestones. Every step, yours to approve.
From first discussion to final handover, every project runs on the same structured path — so you always know what's next, and what your approval covers.
01 / Connect & Discover
Knowing where to begin.
We identify the underlying patterns based on your lifestyle and daily routines, shaping a design plan around how you live rather than merely following fleeting trends.
02 / Plan & Costings
Exploring what’s possible.
Layout possibilities and spatial planning are explored based on your brief. Receive early cost guidance so you understand what’s feasible and where your budget goes before moving forward.
03 / Refine & Commit
Finalising what moves forward.
Fine-tune every detail to eliminate uncertainty. Design, scope, and quotation are collaboratively adjusted to align priorities, ensuring you move forward knowing exactly what you are committing to.
04 / Visualization & Selection
See it clearly in 720VR Tour with 95% accuracy.
Experience the design drafts through our immersive virtual walkthroughs, so layout, materials, and details are understood in context before work begins.
With up-to 95% render-to-reality accuracy.
05 / The Reno Works
Execution led by our in-house craftsmen.
Works handled by our skilled In-house tilers, carpenters, and technicians with over 30+ years of experience. Ensuring coordination stays tight and decisions remain aligned throughout the build.
06 / Inspect & Handover
A handover that isn’t the end.
Walk through the completed home together to ensure everything is delivered as intended. Backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty — support continues long after handover.
Spaces that feel right — because they were planned that way.
Beyond aesthetics: Design built around the rituals of your daily life.
WHY CLIENTS TRUST OUR APPROACH
Clarity Matters Most Especially In A Renovation.
Most renovation issues don’t come from the design; they happen in between.
When expectations aren’t aligned, details get lost, and decisions don’t carry through. That’s why every project runs on a structured system of formal accreditations, in-house trades, and written approvals — keeping design, cost, and execution aligned from start to finish.
Trust isn’t claimed. It’s built into every approval, every milestone, and every home we hand over.
You're protected before works even begin.
We meet mandatory requirements—not optional badges. Being CaseTrust accredited, HDB licensed and bizSAFE certified means your deposit, contract, your consumer rights , and site safety are formally protected from day one by the highest industry standards.
In 2024, 97% of renovation complaints in Singapore were filed against non-CaseTrust firms. We ensure you are never part of that statistic.
Total Budget & Cost Efficiency
Did you know? 6 in 10 homeowners exceeded their renovation budget in 2024.
By managing our own labour and procurement in-house, we eliminate the middleman markups and hidden fees that typically cause budget shock. Every item is costed and listed in writing before you sign anything. Every change is explained, approved by you, then acted on. You always know where every dollar goes — from the first conversation to the final handover.
The Integrated In-House Team
Design and execution, managed under one roof.
In any renovation, tiling, carpentry and general works are typically the biggest cost items — and the most likely to go wrong when handed off to external contractors.
At The I-Plan Studio, we keep these core trades in-house
(Tilers, Carpenters and General Works Technicians).
By removing the handoff gap between these major scopes, we eliminate blame-shifting. That means tighter cost control, fewer miscommunications, and site issues resolved immediately rather than passed between parties.
For specialist works beyond our core trades, For specialized works, we partner exclusively with a vetted network that meets our rigid quality standards—ensuring every person on your site is accountable to the same system.

The Render-to-Reality Experience
More than a render.
A decision-making tool.
We eliminate the gap between imagination and reality. Every project begins with a virtual walkthrough as a baseline, allowing you to experience the flow of your space before any work begins.
Most renovation regrets happen when a decision is made without seeing the full picture. Our 720VR tool closes that gap. Compare options, verify lighting, and approve every detail with complete visual certainty.
With 95% render-to-reality accuracy across our projects, what you approve is what you stand in at handover. Not approximately.
Full immersive walkthrough
Every area of your renovation scope rendered and walkable in full 360°. Living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom etc. experience the whole space as if you are already standing in it.
Real-Time Material Swaps
Can't decide between two laminate finishes, tile options or surface materials? Switch between them in the same view and see how each choice interacts with everything around it.
Spatial Feel & Styling References
Walk through different design directions to see which one resonates. We style every render with intentional pieces to articulate the design intent. It also serves as a visual reference for your own furnishing, ensuring every piece harmonises with the home’s intended character.
Dynamic Lighting States
Experience your home in different moods. See how your space looks and feels under different lighting conditions so you can verify your lighting plan creates the right atmosphere for your daily rituals.
Finish & Feature Detail Preview
Full-height cabinetry or half-height? Mirror backing or solid panel? Glass or partition? Evaluate and see how every design decision lands spatially and visually before it is built.


Built by people who care about what they build.
From a team of 5 when we started, to 20+ strong today. The faces have grown, the projects have scaled — but the belief that brought us together hasn't shifted. Every person on our team carries the same conviction: that the home you live in should work as well as it looks, and that whoever builds it should be accountable to every detail they touch.
We believe the best design happens over a good conversation, not a rushed transaction. From HDB-BTOs / Resale flats to private residential like Condominiums / Landeds and Commercial projects, every space is designed around how you actually live in it, and built to the same standard of craft and accountability.
Common Questions
Everything you want to know before you reach out.
Transparency is the foundation of our process. From technical accreditations to our in-house production standards, we believe in giving you the full picture so you can move forward with absolute confidence. These quick insights might help before we get back to you personally.
Q: How much does an HDB or Condo renovation cost in Singapore?
Renovation costs vary based on project type, flat size, condition and scope of works. Based on 2026 market benchmarks across leading platforms, a realistic planning guide is:
- New HDB BTO flats typically range from $36,000 to $76,000
- Resale HDB flats typically range from $51,000 to $90,000 and above
- New condos typically start from $40,000 to $85,000
- Resale condos typically range from $65,000 to $105,000 and above
- Landed properties typically start from $150,000 upward
Resale properties generally cost more due to essential infrastructure works like hacking, rewiring, and waterproofing etc. At The I-Plan Studio™, every project starts with a full itemised cost breakdown so you know exactly where every dollar goes before committing to anything. For a realistic estimate based on your specific space and scope, book a consultation and we will walk you through it properly.

Q: How do you ensure there are no hidden costs or budget overruns?
Budget surprises in renovation almost always come from one of three places — vague upfront quotations, undocumented scope changes, or coordination gaps between parties that quietly add cost.
At The I-Plan Studio™, we address all three.
Consultative Budgeting & Transparent Quotation. Before any work begins, you receive a fully itemized quotation. This is the result of the renovation and cost guidance provided in our initial sessions, where we help you understand the full scope, what each element involves, and how to prioritize works within your allocated budget. This allows you to plan your finances effectively and make informed decisions with the full picture—so nothing in the numbers comes as a surprise.
Visual & Technical Certainty. Every project includes a 720VR (virtual reality) walkthrough and technical drawing plans before works begin. Walk through your space, approve every finish and verify every detail visually before renovation starts. This eliminates guesswork, prevents miscommunication and costly mid-renovation changes.
Direct In-House Control. Our tilers, carpenters and general works technicians are all in-house we operate with optimised cost efficiencies and direct oversight compared to firms managing multiple external contractors. This structure removes the communication gaps and delays common in third-party outsourcing, providing you with an accountable team that maintains total control over your project’s timeline and costing.
For specialist works beyond our core trades, we partner exclusively with a vetted network that meets our quality standards —ensuring everyone on-site is aligned with our system.
Strict Change Protocols. Any adjustment to scope or cost — however small — requires a formal written approval. Explained to you, priced transparently, approved by you, then acted on. Nothing changes without your explicit sign-off.
Did you know: According to the 2026 Qanvast Renovation Budgeting Report, the majority of homeowners in Singapore exceed their planned renovation budgets, primarily due to hidden or unexpected costs. Our process is designed specifically to ensure you are among the few who stay on track from day one.
Q: Is The I-Plan Studio™ a licensed and accredited renovation firm?
Yes. We are HDB licensed, CaseTrust accredited and bizSAFE certified. These are not optional badges, they are mandatory standards that formally protect your deposit, your contract and site safety from day one.
Did you know: In 2024, 97% of renovation complaints in Singapore were filed against non-CaseTrust firms. By choosing an accredited studio, you are choosing a process built on accountability and financial protection.
Q: What is CaseTrust accreditation and why does it matter?
CaseTrust is a consumer protection accreditation administered by the Consumers Association of Singapore. It means your deposit is protected, your contract meets fair practice guidelines, and you have formal recourse if disputes arise. In 2024, 97% of renovation complaints in Singapore were filed against non-CaseTrust firms. The I-Plan Studio is CaseTrust accredited, HDB licensed and bizSAFE certified.
Q: What is the difference between an interior designer and a renovation contractor — which are you?
Traditionally, an interior designer handles the vision and planning while a renovation contractor handles the physical build. Most firms outsource the build to external contractors. This split often leads to handoff gaps and miscommunication where the final build doesn't fully match the original design intent.
The I-Plan Studio™ operates differently. Design and execution stay under one roof. Our designers work side-by-side with our in-house tilers, carpenters, and general works technicians to translate every detail from the digital walkthrough into the physical build.
With no handoff gaps and no blame-shifting between parties, we maintain total quality control and direct accountability.
Q: Does The I-Plan Studio™ specialise in HDB, Condo, Landed or Commercial renovations?
Yes to all four — and each one is approached with the specific knowledge it demands.
HDB renovations come with their own set of regulations, permit requirements and structural considerations. Condo projects vary significantly based on MCST rules, building age and handover condition. Landed properties involve a different scale of scope entirely — from façade works and structural considerations to multi-storey coordination. Commercial spaces require an understanding of operational flow, compliance requirements and build standards that go beyond residential work.
Every project type at The I-Plan Studio™ is handled by designers and craftsmen with direct experience in that specific category. The process, the questions we ask, and the way we plan each project are shaped by what that property type actually demands — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Q: When should I start planning my renovation?
Earlier than most people expect. Ideally, you should begin the conversation 4 to 6 months before your key collection or intended start date. This allows ample time for our lifestyle-led design process, 720VR refinements, and the necessary permit submissions without rushing the technical details that define a quality build. The earlier you start, the more considered every decision can be and the less likely you are to make costly changes mid-renovation.
Q: What is the typical renovation timeline?
Most HDB renovations complete within 10 to 14 weeks from start of works. Condos typically run 12 to 16 weeks. At The I-Plan Studio™ every project runs on a structured 6-milestone system with a clear timeline agreed in writing before works begin.
Q: What warranty do you provide after handover?
Every project is backed by a in-house 12-month workmanship warranty. Because we manage our own production, our after-sales support is direct and responsive, ensuring any necessary refinements are handled promptly by the team that crafted your home.
