What to know about Keat Hong Grange
Nearly a thousand households collecting keys around the same time means busy lifts, a busy Building Service Centre and contractors with full calendars. Owners who have their layout and quotation ready before keys can start as soon as their defects are reported.
The flat mix ranges from 2-room Flexi flats, often bought by seniors or singles, to 5-room flats for larger families. A 2-room Flexi flat needs safe, simple finishes and smart storage; a 5-room flat has room for a study, a family area and serious storage.
What owners usually change
Common requests at Keat Hong Grange:
- 2-room Flexi: slip-resistant finishes, good lighting and compact storage.
- 4- and 5-room: full-height wardrobes, a study and a family TV area.
- Kitchen cabinets and countertops.
- Toilet upgrades with tiles overlaid on the existing ones (no hacking in the first 3 years).
- Window grilles and air-conditioning by approved installers.
Planning your Keat Hong Grange 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.

When can I collect keys at Keat Hong Grange?
Your HDB notification gives your date. A third-party tracker estimates completion in 2026, but HDB has not confirmed a project-wide date on the pages we checked.
What should I prioritise in a 2-room Flexi flat?
Safety and storage: slip-resistant floors, good lighting, easy-to-reach cabinets and a layout that leaves clear walking space.
