Why We Don’t Aim to Be the Cheapest Renovation Company in Singapore

In renovation, price is often the first question homeowners ask and we understand why. Renovation is a major investment, and every homeowner wants value for money. However, at B&A Engineering, we’ve made a conscious decision not to compete on being the cheapest renovation contractor in Singapore.

Here’s why.

Cheap Renovation Often Means Compromised Workmanship

To quote lower than everyone else, something has to give.

In many cases, it means:

• Lower-grade renovation materials

• Inexperienced or rushed renovation workers

• Minimal site supervision

• Construction shortcuts that aren’t visible on Day 1

These issues may not appear immediately after renovation completion. They often surface months later as:

• Cracked tiles

• Water leakage issues

• Uneven carpentry works

• Electrical or plumbing defects

By then, rectification costs often exceed what it would have cost to do the renovation properly from the start.

We Price for Proper Renovation Work, Not Just Completion

Our renovation pricing reflects the entire renovation process, not just the final appearance.

This includes:

• Proper site assessment before renovation work begins

• Clear and detailed renovation quotations (no vague line items)

• Skilled and experienced renovation tradesmen

• Adequate time allocated for each renovation stage

• On-site supervision and quality control

We believe renovation is not just about finishing a project. It’s about finishing it properly, safely, and responsibly.

Transparent Renovation Quotes with No Surprise Costs

One of the most common complaints we hear from homeowners is:

“The renovation started cheap, but the variation costs never stopped.”

We do not believe in under-quoting renovation projects to secure work and recovering costs later through variations.

Our renovation quotations are designed to be:

• Clear

• Detailed

• Realistic

This results in fewer disputes, fewer hidden costs, and a smoother renovation experience for our clients.

Accountability Is Critical in Renovation Projects

Renovation issues can happen, even with careful planning. What matters most is how your renovation contractor handles them.

At B&A Engineering:

• We don’t disappear after handover

• We don’t shift responsibility

• We don’t ask homeowners to chase multiple parties

We take full responsibility for our renovation work because our reputation depends on it.

That level of accountability requires:

• Proper renovation systems

• Clear documentation

• Experienced and reliable people

And yes, that comes at a cost.

The True Cost of Choosing a Cheap Renovation Contractor

We are often engaged to fix renovation works done by other contractors.

In most cases, homeowners tell us:

“We chose the cheaper renovation option.”

By the time rectification works begin, the total renovation cost often exceeds what a proper renovation would have cost initially—along with unnecessary stress, delays, and inconvenience.

Renovation Value Is Not About Being Cheap

It’s About Being Worth It

We may not be the cheapest renovation company in Singapore.

But our clients choose B&A Engineering because they value:

• Quality renovation workmanship

• Honest communication

• Transparent pricing

• Long-term peace of mind

If you’re searching for the lowest renovation price, we may not be the right fit.

But if you’re looking for a reliable renovation contractor in Singapore who delivers quality work with care, responsibility, and integrity—we’d be glad to speak with you.
