What areas in your flat will be upgraded? And what do you need to look out for? In this article, we answer all these questions and more!

These include repairing spalling concrete and structural cracks, replacing waste discharge stacks, replacing pipe sockets with new clothes drying racks, and upgrading your electrical load.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these, there are also other Optional Improvements, which you can request for if you wish. These include packages to upgrade your toilets, installing new decorative doors, installing metal grille gates, and installing new refuse chute hoppers. Do note that you\u2019d like to opt out of the toilet upgrading, your toilets will have to pass a water test for leaks (basically, HDB will \u201cflood\u201d your toilet, and check if your neighbour living below you experiences any ceiling leaks!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hdb-improvement.jpg\" alt=\"hdb improvement\" width=\"720\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hdb-improvement.jpg 1851w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hdb-improvement-940x288.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, there\u2019s also the Enhancement for Active Seniors (EASE) improvements, which are also optional. These include slip-resistant treatment to floor tiles in 2 toilets, grab bars in 2 toilets, as well as ramps to navigate level differences in the flat and at the main entrance (if feasible). <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How long will the HIP take?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to HDB, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/home-renovation-myths-busting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">renovation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> works in an individual flat will take 10 days or less. Do note, however, that renovation works aren\u2019t carried out on Sundays, so this might stretch to a maximum of 14 calendar days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How should I prepare my home for the HIP?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the start of the HIP programme, your contractor will give you a roll of clear plastic to &#8220;dust-proof&#8221; your home. Using the plastic, wrap up your items which are out on display, and store them away. Many homeowners also recommend sealing up your bedrooms so that the massive amounts of dust that will descend upon your entire apartment won\u2019t get to them. Lock the door, and fit soaked bath towels in the gap between the bottom of your door, and the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How do I shower and get around during the HIP?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re opting to have your toilets renovated, HDB will commence works on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">both<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your master bedroom toilet and your kitchen toilet at the same time. Expect to have both toilets out of action! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If space permits, HDB may install a portable, non-flush toilet in your kitchen. This comes with a tap, which you may use to get water to wash your hands. There\u2019s also a shower head for bathing. The portable toilet can be connected via plug to your powerpoint, and it\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to come with hot water, but many homeowners have stated that this is untrue. For homeowners who do not have the portable toilet installed in your kitchens, you may also access a common, temporary, toilet which will be installed on the first level of your flat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the extreme inconvenience that this brings to homeowners, many prefer to seek refuge at a family or friend&#8217;s home with extra room (or empty floor space!). It\u2019s your call &#8211; if you\u2019d prefer to stay put at home so that you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/irresponsible-contractors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep an eye on your contractors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, go ahead and do so, but you\u2019ll have to endure extremely dusty and dirty conditions for approximately two weeks.
