Renovating a condo comes with rules a HDB flat does not have. Management approval, restricted working hours, service lift bookings, and limits on what you can hack. Interior Diary is a CaseTrust accredited renovation firm that handles the paperwork alongside the design, so your renovation starts on time.

We know choosing a renovation firm feels risky. Here is what sets us apart.

• We handle MCST approval. We prepare and submit the renovation application to your management office, including contractor details, work schedule and insurance documents.
• CaseTrust accredited. Your deposit is protected and you have access to a proper dispute resolution process.
• bizSAFE Level 3: Certified for risk management and safety practices.
• No hidden fees. Every quote is itemised upfront. What we quote is what you pay.
• We work within your condo’s rules. Renovation hours, noise restrictions, debris removal and lift protection are planned into the schedule from day one, not discovered halfway through.

New and older condos need different work. We handle both.

New Launch and TOP Condo Renovation

Developers hand over a basic finish, so most of the work is fit-out rather than demolition. Carpentry, built-in wardrobes, kitchen upgrades, feature walls and lighting. Because the unit is new, the main constraint is coordinating with the building management during the TOP period when many units are renovating at once.

Resale Condo Renovation

Older condos often need more than a refresh. Hacking, rewiring, replacing dated bathrooms, waterproofing and reworking layouts that no longer suit how people live. Resale units also face stricter MCST scrutiny on structural work, which we handle on your behalf.

Working With Your MCST

Most condo renovation delays happen before any work starts, because the management approval was not filed correctly or in time.

We prepare the full submission for you:

• Renovation application form and work schedule
• Contractor registration and insurance documents
• Security deposit arrangement with your management office
• Confirmation of permitted working hours and access routes
• Service lift booking and lift protection
• Debris disposal plan

If your condo requires a Qualified Person endorsement for structural or wet works, we will tell you upfront rather than after the quote is signed.

• 1. Free consultation and quote. We visit your unit, understand what you want, and give you an itemised quote with no obligation.
  2. Design proposal. We present a design concept, including Japandi or Wabi-sabi options if that direction interests you.
  3. MCST submission. We prepare and file the renovation application with your management office.
  4. Renovation works. Scheduled around your condo’s permitted working hours.
  5. Handover and warranty. We hand over a completed home backed by our workmanship warranty.

Condo layouts reward restraint. Our signature style blends Japandi’s clean lines with Wabi-sabi’s warmth and natural texture, which suits compact condo footprints better than heavy, busy designs. The result feels calm and lasting rather than trend-driven.
