- Updated January 2024.
In the context of Singapore, the duration for rewiring an HDB flat, condo, or landed property can vary significantly depending on several factors. Here’s an overview for each type of property:

- HDB Flats: Rewiring an HDB flat generally takes less time compared to landed properties or larger condos, due to the standardized layouts and sizes. For a typical HDB flat (e.g., 3-room to 5-room flats), rewiring can take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the job and whether the flat is occupied during the work.
- Condos: The time frame for rewiring a condominium in Singapore can vary widely. Condos can range from smaller units similar in size to HDB flats to large, luxurious penthouses. The rewiring work could take from a week to several weeks, depending on the size of the unit and the complexity of the electrical system. High-end condos with sophisticated electrical systems, home automation, or custom features may require more time.
- Landed Properties: Landed properties in Singapore, such as bungalows, terraced houses, or semi-detached houses, typically require more time for rewiring due to their larger sizes and potentially more complex electrical needs. Rewiring a landed property can take several weeks, especially if the house is large or if the wiring system requires significant upgrades.
- The Condition of Existing Wiring: If the old wiring is very outdated or not up to current safety standards, more time might be needed for removal and installation of new wiring.
- Occupation Status: If the property is occupied during the rewiring, it might take longer as the work needs to be done more carefully to minimize disruption.
- Access and Complexity: Difficult access to wiring routes, especially in older buildings, can extend the time required.
- Custom Requirements: Additional features like smart home systems, specialized lighting, or home entertainment systems can add to the complexity and duration of the project.
