Why In-house Carpentry Matters?

Don't Be Another Singapore Renovation Horror Story

You've saved for ages to turn your HDB or condo into a Pinterest-worthy dream. Then the carpenters arrive – work drags on, the budget disappears, and what you're left with looks more DIY disaster than a designer masterpiece.

Sound familiar? Too many homeowners get burned by sweet-talking contractors promising the world but cutting corners on the important stuff. It doesn't have to be this way... There are ways to avoid the carpentry or rather the reno chaos.


In-House Carpentry Good or Bad?

We're not your average interior design firm. We're carpentry nerds, obsessed with quality from the first sketch to the final coat of varnish. Don't forget how our founder started as a young carpenter to a successful craftsman, with two huge workshops today.


We're carpentry nerds, obsessed with quality from the first sketch to the final coat of varnish.

Here's why in-house carpentry matters to you:

  1. Workshop, Not Middlemen: We own two factories right here in Singapore. This means we control the entire process – consistent quality, shorter timelines, and less chance of nasty surprises.

  2. Carpenters, Not Salesmen: Our guys have decades of experience, not just fancy brochures. You'll get honest advice on what works in Singapore's hot, humid climate, not some trend that'll fall apart in a year or maybe won't even last a year.

  3. Sustainable and Savvy: We source premium, formaldehyde-free plywood that won't crush after the first monsoon. Good for your health, good for your wallet in the long run.


Stress-Free Design (Yes, It's Possible)

Renovations are notoriously chaotic. We get it! That's why our approach is built around you feeling in control, not overwhelmed. This is the typical process:

  1. Consultation = No Pressure Think of it as chatting with your design-obsessed friend. We'll figure out your needs, your wishlist, and what drives you crazy about your current space. No hard selling, just straight talk. We believe everyone has their unique objectives and lifestyles, so our recommendations are fully-tailored.

  2. The "Omakase" Option Too busy to sift through Pinterest? We hear you. Once we understand your style, we'll whip up design options, materials, and a realistic budget. You get the final say, of course. After our first discussion, you’ll understand whether we’re the right fit for you, our working style and what are your best options moving forward.

  3. See It Before You Pay After understanding your requirements and desires, we'll present a space plan, design directions and materials choices and renovation budget plan that we think fit you best and get feedback from you. Think those 3D renders are just for fancy magazines? Not with us. We want you to be 100% sure of your choices before any wood is cut.

We've Got Your Back!

At Living Abode, we're not into one-and-done projects. Here's how we want to make sure you stay happy long after the last cabinet is installed. We believe in the importance of long-term satisfaction:

  • After-Sales Support: We understand that minor adjustments might be needed post-installation, or you may have further questions about maintaining the beauty of your new home. Our team remains available to address any concerns, ensuring you remain absolutely delighted with your space.

  • Warranty Matters: A clearly outlined warranty on both materials and workmanship gives peace of mind. This demonstrates your confidence in the quality of your work.

Think We Might Be Your Perfect Fit For Quality Workmanship?

You're ideal for Living Abode if:


  1. You want a home that reflects YOU, not just the latest trends

  2. Quality workmanship that makes you sleep better than saving a few bucks short-term

What They're Saying...

"Living Abode has been our lifesaver! We're a young family of three with a demanding work schedule, and a newborn hence the thought of renovating felt quite overwhelming. However, they completely took rein, working with our busy schedules and creating functional yet stylish home for us. Now, we look forward to going home and it feels like a true escape. All thanks to their great design and furnishing services that has saved us a lot of our time." - Chen Family


"We have been wanting to renovate our landed property to create a more comfortable space for our three generations to live together. Living Abode's design approach was perfect for us. The team listened patiently to everyone's needs and wants, then presented a design that beautifully blended functionality with individual preferences. The end result is a home that feels personalised and intimate, where everyone has their own space while still feeling connected. We couldn't be happier!" - Sam & Jolin "From the very beginning, Living Abode impressed us with their professionalism. We were particularly impressed with the carpentry drawings they provided before fabrication. This allowed us to visualize and confirm the final product before production began. Most importantly, the finished carpentry work matches the drawings perfectly! The quality of workmanship is pretty good too. I believe part of the reason is their experiences plus also it's their own factory & manpower hence like there's better control over timeline and quality.Overall, I feel it's their attention to details gave us peace of mind throughout the entire renovation process. We highly recommend them!" - Sarah & Michael
