We are a renovation main contractor with our own carpentry, electrical, plumbing and tiling teams — and our own carpentry factory in Toa Payoh. That means one team, one point of contact, and nobody marking up somebody else’s work.
From a single kitchen to a whole flat. The trades below are our own people, not subcontractors — which is why we can answer for all of them.
Cabinets built in our own factory, countertops, backsplash tiling and layout changes. Kitchen cabinets are the single thing our reviewers name most often.
Waterproofing, fixtures, tiling and plumbing, by our own plumbing and tiling teams. One client did three toilets in a single job.
Wardrobes, feature walls, study tables, shoe cabinets. Built by our own carpenters at our own factory in Toa Payoh — you can come and see it being made.
Floor and wall tiling with proper waterproofing and clean alignment, by our in-house tiling team.
Feature walls, full repaints and touch-ups for HDB flats, BTO units and condominiums.
Rewiring, power points, lighting and distribution board work, done by our own electrician rather than a contractor we called in.
Pipe replacement, new points, water heaters and fixture upgrades. We also take small jobs — one client called us for a single leaking water pipe.
HDB, BTO and condo, end to end. We handle the HDB permit submission, hacking, wet works, carpentry, electrical and painting. Around eight weeks for a whole house, depending on scope.
We are a main contractor working directly with homeowners. The trades are ours, the factory is ours, and the person you message is the person answerable for the job.
Listed on HDB’s Directory of Renovation Contractors, reference HB-11-5698A, and holding BCA workhead CR06 grade L1. We handle the permit submission for you. Both registers are public — please check us.
Carpentry, electrical, plumbing and tiling are all our own teams, and the carpentry is built at our own factory. Nobody in the middle taking a cut of somebody else’s work.

Every quote below is from a public Google review. We have not edited them, and we have not left out the ones that mention things going wrong.
“Startec is a main contractor which provides one-stop service … their quality carpentry works which are all built by their in-house carpenter … electrical works which is also done by their in-house electrician.”
“Our actual carpentry measurements turned out to be slightly below the original quotation, and the difference was honestly deducted from our final payment.”
“No renovation process is perfect and smooth sailing, what you need is a contractor that is responsible, sincere and responsive to make the necessary amendments when hiccups occurs!”
Every photograph below is our own, from our own projects. Carpentry made at our factory in Toa Payoh and fitted by our own team.
Two flats we took back to bare and rebuilt. Both halves of each pair are our own photographs of the same room — taken from different positions on the day, so the two views do not line up exactly.

Yes. We are listed on HDB’s Directory of Renovation Contractors under reference HB-11-5698A, and we hold BCA workhead CR06 (Interior Decoration and Finishing Works) at grade L1. Both registers are public and you can look us up on either. One thing worth knowing, because the wording gets used loosely across the industry: HDB lists renovation contractors on the Directory, it does not license them, and HDB states plainly that it does not endorse or guarantee the quality of a listed contractor’s work. So judge us on the reviews and the workmanship, not on the register alone.
Our own. We have our own carpentry, electrical, plumbing and tiling teams, and our carpentry is built at our own factory in Toa Payoh. Some specialist items still go to a specialist, but the core trades on your job are our people. That is the whole point of “no middleman, no outsourcing”.
Yes, both. HDB flats are the core of what we do, BTO and resale alike, and we also take on private condominium work.
Yes. Being on the Directory of Renovation Contractors is what allows us to submit the permit application on your behalf, so the paperwork is ours to deal with, not yours.
Around eight weeks for a whole house, depending on scope — that is what our own jobs have run to, and one client measured it at roughly eight weeks excluding the Chinese New Year break. Smaller jobs are shorter. We give you a timeline at the start rather than a promise on a website.
Yes, by appointment. Our carpentry factory and showroom are at 6 Toa Payoh Industrial Park, so you can meet the team and look at the workmanship before you commit to anything. Message us on WhatsApp to arrange a time.
