Singapore · Interior design and main contractor

Designed and builtby the same hands.

Most interior firms draw your home and hand it to a subcontractor. We came up the other way. The build came first, the design studio came after, and the crew on your site is ours.

The difference

We were contractorsbefore we were designers.

YC started on the tools. Our founder began as an independent vinyl flooring contractor with one or two workers, then took on electrical, tiling, hacking and painting. The design side was added on top of that, not the other way round.

It changes what you get. A layout that was checked against what the block will actually allow. A quotation that reflects the real sequence of trades. And one number to call when something on site needs a decision today, not next week.

On site

These are our people.

Not a labour supply arrangement that changes every fortnight. The same crew comes back, knows the standard, and answers to the same supervisor.

Capabilities

Everything under one contract.

You are not managing six vendors and hoping they talk to each other. The scope below sits with us from start to handover.

01

Design and space planning

Layouts drawn against what can actually be built, not against what looks good on a render.

02

Hacking and reinstatement

Structural work handled in-house, within HDB and BCA rules on what may and may not come down.

03

Electrical and lighting

Licensed work, planned early so the points land where the furniture actually goes.

04

Carpentry and built-ins

Storage, wardrobes and feature carpentry measured on site, not ordered from a catalogue.

05

Masonry, tiling and waterproofing

The wet trades, done in the right order so the finishes hold up years later.

06

Project management and handover

One person accountable from first measurement to the day you get the keys back.

How a job runs

Five stages, no surprises.

  • 1

    Measure and talk

    We come to the unit, take real measurements, and listen to how you live in it.

  • 2

    Design and quotation

    Layout and a line-by-line quotation. What is included, and what is not.

  • 3

    Contract and schedule

    Signed scope, payment stages and a build calendar you can hold us to.

  • 4

    Build

    Our own crew on site, one project manager, updates as the work moves.

  • 5

    Handover

    Defect check together, touch-ups closed out, then the keys come back to you.

  • Come and see

    Finishes are easier to judgein person.

    Bring your floor plan down to the showroom. We will walk you through materials, what the works actually involve, and roughly what it costs before you commit to anything.
