Our Design and Build Process
Hitomo provides a complete and comprehensive package and we will guide you through from the start to the completion.
01
Initial Consultation & Engagement
Purpose: Understand your vision, site conditions, and potential.
What Happens:
-
On-site assessment by our team to evaluate land, terrain, and existing structures.
-
Discussion on rebuild vs. A&A scope.
-
Review of your land title, SIP (Sewerage Interpretation Plan), and URA zoning.
Tip: Bring existing drawings or documents if available — it helps us propose faster solutions.
03
Budget Estimation & Preliminary Quotation
Purpose: Align design ambition with budget practicality.
What Happens:
-
We draft an outline specification (structure, finishes, M&E).
-
A cost estimate with ±15–20% accuracy is shared.
-
No hidden costs — this is for honest budget planning.
05
Authority Submissions
Purpose: Secure official approvals before breaking ground.
What Happens:
-
Our QP (Qualified Person) submits to:
-
URA (Envelope Control, GFA)
-
BCA (Structural)
-
PUB (Drainage & Sewer)
-
SCDF (Fire Safety)
-
NEA / NParks / LTA (if required)
-
-
Submission-to-approval timeline: ~3–4 months
02
Design Development
Purpose: Turn your ideas into workable concepts.
What Happens:
-
We appoint or collaborate with an architect/designer.
-
Preliminary layouts, space planning, and façade ideas are developed.
-
Identify setbacks, platform levels, M&E needs, and sewer line implications.
Checkpoint: We flag issues early — such as encroaching sewer lines or platform level constraints — to avoid future delays.
04
Final Quotation & Scope Breakdown
Purpose: Define exact build scope, pricing, and terms.
What Happens:
-
We issue an itemised quotation with breakdowns for:
-
Structural Works
-
Architectural Finishes
-
M&E Services
-
-
All PC (Prime Cost) and PS (Provisional Sum) items are clearly listed.
-
Transparent payment schedule provided.
Tip: Don’t just compare builders by lump sum — compare specifications line-by-line.
06
Build & Handover
Purpose: Construct your home and deliver it to you — move-in ready.
What Happens:
-
We execute in phases:
-
Demolition & Site Prep
-
Foundation & RC Works

Roof, M&E Rough-In & Waterproofing
