Chencharu Acres Renovation & Interior Design
Chencharu Acres is an HDB BTO project in Yishun, listed in the November 2026 BTO exercise with 1,582 flats, as recorded from HDB’s BTO portal in our project file. That official confirmation covers the launch and the unit count only, not TOP or keys. Tenure is left blank. A project of this size will almost certainly include more than one typologies mix; we will not guess it. Use your HDB documents for typologies and for any later key appointment. This page sets out what is on file and how to plan your Chencharu Acres renovation.

Planning your Chencharu Acres interior
A newly launched Yishun BTO is still years from a first fit-out. When the official plan is issued, the carpentry that typically makes a new flat liveable is a fitted kitchen with a tall pantry or fridge run, full-height wardrobes, an entry cabinet, and a living-room joinery wall, with a built-in desk if a common bedroom will be a study. Maison specifies this as built-in carpentry, not as IKEA-style furniture, and we can present it in a wide view or in closer material shots. No official floor plan is on file.
Yishun Beacon is an unconfirmed near-completion page in the same town and is not a guide to when Chencharu Acres will get keys. Chong Pang City, also in Yishun, is a commercial and community page in this batch. We will not invent walking times to Chencharu, to Yishun town, or to any MRT station, and we will not invent typologies from the project name.
Keep the official plan when HDB issues it, and do not brief a contractor against a guessed key year. After keys, inspect defects and apply for the HDB renovation permit before fabrication. A moderate carpentry scope is often planned at about six to ten weeks on site after approvals — an editorial allowance, not a guarantee. WhatsApp Maison with your unit type and approved plan when you have them. We are not affiliated with HDB.
Planning your Chencharu Acres renovation
Defects check at handover
- Report defects within 30 days of key collection, before renovation starts (HDB move-in guide). The Defects Liability Period runs 1 year from key collection.
- Check floor and wall tiles for hollow or chipped pieces, plaster for cracks, and paint for stains.
- Test every door, window, lock, tap, floor trap, light point and power socket.
- Report through the QR code in your Welcome Kit or your project's Building Service Centre, with photos.
What the rules allow
- Use a contractor listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors; they can apply for the permit for you.
- A permit is needed for works such as removing floor finishes, raising floor levels in wet areas, or hacking or altering walls.
- For the first 3 years, toilet wall and floor finishes in a new BTO flat cannot be removed. New tiles can be overlaid.
- General works: Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm. Noisy works: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. No works on Sundays or public holidays.
- Household shelter walls must not be hacked or drilled. Windows need a BCA-approved window contractor; air-conditioners need a BCA-trained installer.
