FAQ
Condo / new launches: You can only occupy after TOP or CSC is granted. CSC = full completion; TOP allows temporary occupation when safety and core requirements are met. Always verify the building’s current status before planning a move.
HDB renovation permit window: HDB-approved works must finish within 3 months for newly completed blocks and within 1 month for existing blocks (counted from the permit date). If delays blow these limits, speak to your contractor and HDB early.
Your renovation contractor
Ask for a refreshed Gantt chart and confirm the noisy works windows to avoid clashes with moving hours. For HDB A&A works, noisy works are generally weekdays 9am–5pm, max 3 consecutive days; no such works on Saturdays, Sundays, or Public Holidays.
MCST / building management (for condos)
Rebook lift padding, deposits, and loading bay access. Rules vary by estate—refer to the MCST’s by-laws and house rules.
Helpful primer: Singapore Condo Moving Rules (internal).
Seller / Landlord
HDB resale: You may negotiate a Temporary Extension of Stay up to 3 months post-completion (must meet HDB conditions).
Waiting for BTO: Consider PPHS (Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme) if eligible.
Your mover (Move Move Movers)
Lock a new primary date + a backup date. We can split your job into stages and add packers on demand so renovation can continue safely:
Packing & manpower add-on: packing service Singapore
Transparent pricing: Mover Price
Storage + final delivery: Moving with Storage
A) Extend your stay
Negotiate a short extension so renovation can finish safely.
B) Split the move
Stage 1: small items and boxes; Stage 2: heavy furniture after dust-intensive works. Our crew can supply materials and on-site packing via packing service and packers and movers support, including box packing service.
C) Temporary storage
If schedules are volatile, store first, deliver later. Ask about storage service singapore options—perfect for mover and storage bundles, longer-term storage, and climate-friendly furniture storage service Singapore.
HDB/Condo moving hours: Many estates approve weekday day-time only; some disallow weekends/public holidays. Always check your MCST by-laws and circulars.
HDB noisy works windows (renovation): Weekdays 9am–5pm, max 3 consecutive days, no such works on Saturdays/Sundays/PH. Coordinate your mover to avoid overlapping with loud works.
National noise limits (context): NEA caps construction noise by time-of-day; stricter limits apply evenings/nights and around sensitive premises.
Tactical tip: Plan a “quiet day” at site (no drilling), next day for deep cleaning & protection, and move-in the day after. This avoids clashes and dust.
SP Group: Allow about 7 business days after opening your account for turn-on arrangements; reschedule early if your move slides.
ISP / fibre: Confirm where your ONT/router live (DB box, study, or living room) and ensure power points are ready; otherwise your mover can’t place racks or TV consoles properly.
