Kim Keat Heights Renovation & Interior Design

Kim Keat Heights is an HDB project in Toa Payoh. A third-party completion estimate is on file, but this entry is not officially confirmed: HDB has not verified a project-wide key date, and tracker sources have disagreed on the month. Unit counts and any estimated month are therefore left out of the facts below. If you have an HDB key-appointment letter, use that. We will not publish a tracker month as if HDB had issued it. This page sets out what is on file and how to plan your Kim Keat Heights renovation.

Planning your Kim Keat Heights interior

Kim Keat sits in a settled part of Toa Payoh, a mature central-north town. Owners who are close to keys usually want a first fit-out that works immediately: a fitted kitchen, full-height wardrobes, an entry shoe cabinet, and a living-room joinery wall, rather than a temporary set of loose furniture. Maison designs that work as built-in carpentry, not as IKEA-style furniture, and we can present it in a wide room view or in closer studies of a wardrobe or a kitchen run. No official floor plan is on file, so typologies are not listed, and we will not invent a typical Kim Keat Heights layout.

Toa Payoh Hillside is the other Toa Payoh page in this batch; it is a November 2026 BTO launch and is at a very different stage. The Orie and The Bronze, packed earlier in District 12, are nearby private-housing links, not typologies or key-date references. We will not invent walking times to Toa Payoh town or to any MRT station. Check your block, facing and the HDB renovation rules before you plan blinds, a bench or any hacking.

After keys, inspect defects, measure, and obtain the HDB renovation permit before fabrication. A moderate, non-structural carpentry scope is often planned at six to ten weeks on site after access and approvals, as an editorial planning figure only. WhatsApp Maison with your approved plan and any key letter you have. We are not affiliated with HDB.

Planning your Kim Keat Heights renovation

Defects check at handover

  • Report defects within 30 days of key collection, before renovation starts (HDB move-in guide). The Defects Liability Period runs 1 year from key collection.
  • Check floor and wall tiles for hollow or chipped pieces, plaster for cracks, and paint for stains.
  • Test every door, window, lock, tap, floor trap, light point and power socket.
  • Report through the QR code in your Welcome Kit or your project's Building Service Centre, with photos.

What the rules allow

  • Use a contractor listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors; they can apply for the permit for you.
  • A permit is needed for works such as removing floor finishes, raising floor levels in wet areas, or hacking or altering walls.
  • For the first 3 years, toilet wall and floor finishes in a new BTO flat cannot be removed. New tiles can be overlaid.
  • General works: Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm. Noisy works: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. No works on Sundays or public holidays.
  • Household shelter walls must not be hacked or drilled. Windows need a BCA-approved window contractor; air-conditioners need a BCA-trained installer.
