Direct answer
For a fast Singapore renovation consultation, send the floor plan by WhatsApp to +65 8889 9899 with the property type, key date, move-in target, budget range and main layout problems. The Local INN.terior has two showrooms: 158 Rangoon Road near Farrer Park and 61A Serangoon Garden Way in Serangoon Gardens. Both locations are publicly listed and the company states that showroom visits are by appointment, so weekend availability should be requested before travelling. Use the first conversation to test layout feasibility, scope and likely cost drivers; ask for an itemised written quotation that separates hacking, masonry, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, finishes and exclusions before signing.

Property-specific planning
Design starts with constraints, not decoration.
Showroom visits are best arranged in advance so a designer is available to review your plan and material references with you.
Space planningCirculation, furniture, storage and room relationships before finishes.
Material decisionsDurability, maintenance, humidity, daylight and everyday use.
Build coordinationScope, sequencing and property-specific renovation requirements.
Interior details
Material, light and storage at project scale.
Built-in storage, lighting transitions and material junctions become clearer when they are considered as part of the whole room rather than as isolated finishes.
Project brief
Send enough context for a useful first response
For a BTO, include the HDB floor plan, flat type and expected key date. For a resale HDB or condo, include the listing or measured plan and photographs if available. For commercial work, add the unit plan, lease or fit-out handbook, target opening date and operational requirements. This helps the design team identify what can be discussed immediately and what needs site or management verification.
WhatsApp is useful for quick project context, while email is better for larger plan files and written scopes. A showroom appointment should be arranged so a designer is available rather than assuming a walk-in consultation can cover detailed planning.
Before you contact us
Prepare the information that changes the advice
The most useful first enquiry includes the property type, floor plan, approximate floor area, key collection or site-access date, intended move-in timing and a realistic renovation budget range. If you have existing furniture, appliances or art that must stay, include their dimensions. For resale or occupied properties, site photographs can help identify areas that need closer inspection.
A short list of priorities is more useful than dozens of inspiration images. Explain how many people will use the space, whether anyone works from home, how often you cook, the amount of storage you need and what does not work in your current home.
Showroom meeting
Use material samples to test maintenance as well as appearance
A showroom discussion can compare timber tones, stone or sintered surfaces, laminates, metals, glass and soft finishes under consistent light. Ask how each material behaves with water, heat, stains, scratching and regular cleaning, and whether the sample represents the actual batch or only a visual direction.
For textured finishes and natural materials, variation is part of the product. The design should define an acceptable range and suitable application areas before procurement.
What happens next
Move from enquiry to a scoped design brief
After the initial information is reviewed, the next step is to confirm project fit, site access and the design scope. Layout options and major budget drivers should be discussed before detailed visualisation or carpentry drawings begin. Where HDB or MCST rules apply, approval-dependent changes are identified early.
The goal is a clear brief that connects design ambition to the actual property, programme and budget. That makes subsequent drawings and quotations more meaningful and reduces avoidable rework.
Fast floor-plan review
Send the plan by WhatsApp before the showroom meeting
For a fast first review, WhatsApp the floor plan to +65 8889 9899 together with the property type, key-collection date, target move-in date, approximate budget and the two or three problems you most want the design to solve. This allows the consultation to begin with layout feasibility and cost drivers instead of spending the first meeting collecting basic facts.
The Local INN.terior has two publicly listed showrooms: 158 Rangoon Road in the Farrer Park area and 61A Serangoon Garden Way in Serangoon Gardens. Current public information lists both locations and the company website states that showroom visits are by appointment. Weekend consultation can therefore be requested, but availability should be confirmed before travelling rather than advertised as guaranteed walk-in access.
Quotation preparation
Ask for an itemised scope, not only a headline package number
A useful quotation should identify measurable work such as hacking, masonry, carpentry, electrical points, plumbing alterations, ceilings, painting, doors, glass and specialist finishes. Homeowner review material on the company website specifically describes receiving a detailed multi-page quotation in which line items were explained rather than compressed into a two- or three-page headline estimate.
The first floor-plan conversation can focus on feasibility, priorities and likely cost drivers. Any detailed 3D design work, measured drawings or construction quotation should then follow the scope and commercial terms stated in the written proposal.
Renovation workflow
Four stages, with decisions resolved in sequence.
The exact scope varies by project, but the working sequence keeps planning, approvals and fabrication ahead of site dependencies.
3D Architectural Visualisation
Key volumes, carpentry and material relationships are developed so major visual decisions are understood before fabrication.
Wet Works & HDB / MCST / Building Permitting
Applicable approvals, demolition, wet works and building-management requirements are coordinated for the agreed scope.
Custom Carpentry & Defect Inspection
Fabrication, installation, finishing and agreed completion checks lead into handover and documented rectification items.
