Hardware store renovation FAQ
How much does hardware store renovation cost in Singapore?
Small hardware store: S$50,000-S$120,000. Full hardware and building-materials shop: S$120,000-S$350,000. With a materials showroom: S$200,000-S$500,000 depending on racking, display and cutting/paint-mixing area.
How are paint and dangerous goods stored?
Paint, thinner and gas are kept in a dedicated fire-rated store with ventilation and spill containment, designed to SCDF flammable-storage rules and quantity limits, with extinguishers and warning signage.
Do heavy racks need a floor assessment?
Yes. Heavy racking needs slab loading and floor-flatness assessment, with reinforcement or abrasion screed where needed, anti-topple fixing, and forklift/trolley aisles and loading flow.
What permits are needed?
We coordinate SCDF fire (including flammable storage), URA use approval, and renovation submissions for racking and mezzanine where applicable.
