Merpati Meadow Renovation & Interior Design
Merpati Meadow is an HDB BTO project in Geylang, listed in the November 2026 BTO exercise with 438 flats, as recorded from HDB’s BTO portal in our project file. The official confirmation covers the launch and that unit count only, not TOP or keys. Our file also notes that the portal has carried inconsistent October and November labels; we treat the exercise as a November 2026 launch as recorded, and we do not treat either label as a completion date. Tenure is left blank. Use your HDB documents for typologies. This page sets out what is on file and how to plan your Merpati Meadow renovation.

Planning your Merpati Meadow interior
A newly launched Geylang BTO is still years from renovation, which is useful. When the official plan is issued, you can brief a designer properly: a fitted kitchen, full-height wardrobes, an entry cabinet, and a living-room joinery wall, with a built-in desk if a common bedroom will be a study. Maison specifies that work as built-in carpentry, not as IKEA-style furniture, and we will not invent a typical Merpati Meadow layout because no official floor plan is on file. We can show a full room or a closer study of a wardrobe or a kitchen run when you need to decide on a finish.
MacPherson Weave and Dakota Crest are other Geylang pages in this batch, at an unconfirmed near-completion stage. They are not a guide to when Merpati Meadow will get keys. Grand Dunman, already live in District 15, is a nearby private-housing link only. We will not invent walking times to any MRT station, and we will not guess typologies from the project name.
Keep the official plan when HDB issues it, and write to us when you want the carpentry drawings frozen well before any permit is due. After keys, inspect defects and apply for the HDB renovation permit before fabrication. A moderate carpentry scope is often planned at about six to ten weeks on site after approvals — an editorial allowance, not a promise. WhatsApp Maison with your unit type and plan when you have them. We are not affiliated with HDB.
Planning your Merpati Meadow 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.
Rules change, so we check the current version for your unit before we quote. Full bto key collection renovation guide
