HDB Sale of Balance Flats · Islandwide
February 2026 SBF exercise Renovation & Interior Design
This page covers the February 2026 Sale of Balance Flats exercise as an islandwide HDB exercise, not as a single development. Our project file records a 4 February 2026 launch from a news report and a total-flat figure, and notes that about one fifth of the flats in the exercise were completed, according to that report. Because this entry is not officially confirmed, and because the project-specific breakdown is unverified, those figures and any estate-by-estate list are left out of the facts below. We will not invent the towns, project names or typologies offered in the exercise, and we will not publish a key date for “the SBF exercise” as if it were one estate. This page sets out what is on file and how to plan your February 2026 SBF exercise renovation.

Planning your February 2026 SBF exercise interior
If you were allocated a flat in this exercise, your documents will name a specific project and a specific unit. That project — not this watchlist page — is the source of truth for typologies, the approved plan, and any key appointment. Some balance flats are already completed and may have an earlier key path than a fresh BTO; others may not. We will not guess which is which. When you have the official plan, Maison can design the usual HDB first fit-out: a fitted kitchen, full-height wardrobes, an entry cabinet, and a living-room joinery wall, specified as built-in carpentry, not as IKEA-style furniture. No official floor plan is on file for this exercise-level page, and none should be invented.
Individual Maison project pages, where they exist for a named estate, are the right internal links once you know your project. We will not list guessed SBF estates here. We will also not invent walking times or a typical layout.
After keys, inspect defects and apply for the HDB renovation permit before fabrication, following the rules for that specific flat. A moderate, non-structural carpentry scope is often planned at about six to ten weeks on site after access and approvals — an editorial allowance, not a guarantee. WhatsApp Maison with the official plan and the project name on your HDB documents, not with this exercise title alone. We are not affiliated with HDB.

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.

February 2026 SBF exercise renovation FAQ
Is this a single HDB estate?
No. This page covers the February 2026 Sale of Balance Flats exercise as an islandwide exercise. The project breakdown in our file is unverified, so we do not list estates or invent typologies.
Do you have a floor plan?
Not for the exercise as a whole. If you were allocated a flat, send the official HDB plan for that specific project and unit.
Are all SBF flats already completed?
Not something we will generalise. Our file notes a reported share of completed flats in the exercise, but that figure is not officially confirmed here, and project-specific key dates are unconfirmed. Use your HDB documents.
What should I send Maison?
The official plan and the project name on your HDB documents, plus a key date if you have one. WhatsApp us at https://wa.me/6593391185.
