FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) ABOUT OUR RETAIL RENOVATION FIRM
The cost of renovating a retail space in Singapore is highly variable and depends on three main factors: size, scope, and finish. We understand that budget certainty is crucial for business owners, which is why we approach pricing with full transparency.
Industry Average Cost Benchmark
For a rough idea, industry averages for retail renovations in Singapore generally fall into these ranges per square foot (psf):
Basic Facelift (Painting, minor repairs, new fixtures): $100 to $200 psf
Mid-Range Renovation (New flooring, lighting, custom counter, new electrical): $200 to $400 psf
High-End/Flagship Renovation (Premium materials, bespoke display units, advanced tech integration): $400 to $500+ psf
For a small to medium-sized retail store (e.g., under 1,000 sq ft), this means the total investment can start from approximately $20,000 and easily exceed $100,000 for a full-scale, premium refurbishment.
The Eight Design Difference
At Eight Design, we don't just give you a number; we provide a detailed, itemised quotation that is part of a strategic financial plan. Our quote breaks down costs for:
Design & Project Management Fees: Our fee for creating a winning design concept and managing all subcontractors and timelines.
Essential Wet Works: Tiling, floor screeding, and necessary structural changes (if any).
Bespoke Carpentry: Custom-built counters, shelving, and display units manufactured in our factory.
Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Work: All lighting, power points, data cabling, and air-conditioning adjustments.
We work closely with you from the initial consultation to align the design with your brand vision and business objectives, ensuring we optimise high-impact areas without unnecessary expenditure on low-priority elements. We recommend setting aside a 10-15% contingency fund for unforeseen structural issues common in older commercial units.
Our interior designers in Singapore have experience extending far beyond residential projects. With over 11 years of dedicated expertise, we specialise in the unique demands of commercial and retail environments. This experience allows us to focus on the key factors that drive retail success: customer psychology, traffic flow, and operational durability.
Our Retail Expertise:
Commercial-First Design: We design with a clear focus on the customer journey. Our layouts are optimised to guide foot traffic, highlight high-margin products, and create "Instagrammable" moments that boost your brand's social presence.
In-Depth Compliance Knowledge: Retail renovations involve permits from multiple authorities (BCA, FSD, URA, and often the Mall/Building Management). We have the established processes and contacts to manage all necessary submissions and obtain approvals efficiently, minimising costly delays and ensuring all works adhere to stringent commercial safety and fire regulations.
Design-to-Sales Integration: Our designers don't just focus on aesthetics; they focus on ROI. We select durable, low-maintenance materials that withstand high traffic and continuous use, ensuring your shop looks pristine years after opening.
We handle every phase of the project, from initial concept sketches and material sourcing to seamless execution and post-renovation reinstatement, ensuring a smooth, profitable launch for your business.
In a commercial setting, electrical infrastructure is more than just lighting; it powers your security systems, POS terminals, digital signage, and air-conditioning. We take this responsibility seriously and are fully licensed to handle all your M&E requirements.
Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) Endorsement: Yes, we are a licensed firm and hold a Licensed Electrical Work (LEW) endorsement. This is a mandatory certification that legally allows us to design, install, inspect, and certify all major electrical installations and alterations in a commercial property, ensuring compliance with all Singapore Power (SP) and local fire safety regulations.
Comprehensive Cabling Solutions: Our services extend beyond general wiring. We design and install structured cabling systems for data networks, telephone lines, Wi-Fi access points, CCTV cameras, and robust door access control systems. This ensures your retail operations, from inventory management to customer payment processing, run on a stable, secure, and modern backbone.
Lighting Design Expertise: We understand that lighting is a powerful sales tool in retail. Our LEW-certified team works with your design to implement energy-efficient, high-impact lighting schemes, including track lighting for accenting products and ambient lighting for creating the desired brand atmosphere.
Our commitment to in-house, certified M&E work prevents the safety hazards, compliance issues, and coordination problems that often arise when outsourcing these critical trades.
For a retail business, downtime is lost revenue. Our commitment is to ensure your new space remains operational, appealing, and compliant with all lease terms long after the keys are handed over.
Project Warranty & Defect Rectification: We provide a full-scale warranty on all major works, including bespoke carpentry, structural integrity, and electrical installations. Our project managers are on call for prompt rectification of any defects that may arise post-handover, ensuring minimal interruption to your sales activities.
Long-Term Maintenance Advice: We offer practical guidance on the care and maintenance of the commercial-grade materials we installed, helping you preserve the aesthetic integrity of your shop over years of heavy use.
Seamless Reinstatement Services: A unique and crucial service we offer is full reinstatement. When a lease ends, many commercial landlords require the unit to be returned to its original, bare-shell condition. We have extensive experience in managing this complex process, including the careful dismantling of fixtures, hacking, disposal, and certifying the electrical and structural return to original condition. This makes the eventual move-out process hassle-free for you.
Our after-sales support ensures your investment is protected and your business continuity is secured, from grand opening to the end of the tenancy.
What truly separates Eight Design from a general contractor or a firm focused solely on residential projects is our integrated, commercial-centric model built on accountability and deep retail insight. Our unique selling propositions are centred on giving business owners maximum control, quality assurance, and a measurable return on their renovation investment.
The Three Pillars of Eight Design's Competitive Edge
Full Vertical Integration with In-House Carpentry
Unlike many firms that outsource, we operate our own dedicated carpentry and fabrication workshop.
This allows us to offer:
Unrivalled Quality Control: Our designers work directly with our craftsmen, eliminating miscommunication and ensuring superior, commercial-grade joinery for all custom counters and displays.
Cost Efficiency & Speed: By removing the middleman, we streamline the process, resulting in faster production times and more competitive pricing for bespoke, high-impact features.
Specialised Commercial Licensing and Expertise (LEW Certified)
We don't rely on external electrical contractors. Holding a Licensed Electrical Work (LEW) endorsement in-house means we legally and competently manage all complex retail electrical infrastructure, from power distribution for POS systems to highly-regulated fire safety lighting, ensuring your project is compliant from day one and avoids costly delays or violations.
Holistic, Performance-Driven Design
Our project approach is not just about making the space look good; it's about making it sell better. Our designers are trained to optimise retail layouts, incorporating proven strategies like intuitive customer flow, strategic product placement, and effective lighting design that specifically enhance engagement, dwell time, and, ultimately, sales conversion. We are dedicated to translating your brand story into a functional and profitable physical space.
In short, when you choose Eight Design for your retail shop renovation, you are gaining a single, accountable partner with the license, the factory, and the specific expertise to deliver a high-quality, high-performing commercial environment on time and within budget.
