Space planning: Verifying contractor licenses before starting work (checklist)

Verifying licenses ensures the contractor is legally permitted to perform renovation work, protecting you from potential legal issues and ensuring work meets Singaporean standards.
You can verify a contractors license through the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) website or by contacting BCA directly.
Look for contractors registered with BCA under the relevant workheads for interior design and renovation, such as General Builder Class 1 or 2, or specialist workheads.
Hiring an unlicensed contractor can result in fines, legal complications, and the risk of substandard work that doesnt comply with building regulations.
Request a copy of their BCA license, business registration certificate, and any relevant insurance policies to ensure they are currently licensed and insured.
