What is the difference between a renovation contractor and an interior designer?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to renovating your home. As the industry grows, the lines between an interior designer and a renovation contractor start to be finer.

Our distinct difference between a renovation contractor and an interior designer is the primary value they offer. The expertise of an interior designer is to provide design consultation and project management service. For most interior designers, their construction and building services are likely to be outsourced or sub-contracted. Renovation contractors, on the other hand, their expertise is in construction. They usually have their own in-house team of carpenters and workers.

Bigger companies have both interior design and renovation services in an aim to be a one-stop renovation solution for homeowners.

For our new home, after doing a lot of research and meeting up with plenty of interior designers and renovation contractors in Singapore, we went with hiring a renovation contractor. As we bought an executive condominium (EC), much of the interiors were pre-designed and pre-built.
