Confinement centre renovation FAQ
How much does confinement centre renovation cost?
Small confinement centre (4-6 mother-and-baby suites): S$50,000-S$90,000. Mid-size (8-12 suites): S$90,000-S$150,000. Hotel-style premium centre: S$150,000-S$200,000 depending on suite count, soundproofing grade and confinement-food kitchen scope.
How is mother-and-baby suite soundproofing done?
Soundproof partitions (double plasterboard with acoustic infill), acoustic doors and floor de-coupling isolate baby crying and corridor noise, paired with independent fresh air and temperature control so mothers and newborns rest quietly.
What does the confinement-food kitchen require?
Planned to SFA food hygiene: exhaust, grease trap, stainless steel counters, wash/sanitise zoning and non-slip waterproof floor, with NEA / SFA submission where required and odour separation from the nursing floors.
