• Built-in wardrobes run S$180–S$450 per foot run; kitchen cabinets from S$3,000.
• Ask whether they fabricate in their own workshop or outsource — in-house control means better quality and honest timelines.

How to choose well

1. Licensing first. ACRA-registered firms with their own workshop generally control quality and timelines better.
2. Ask whether they fabricate in their own workshop or outsource — in-house control usually means better quality and honest timelines.
3. Reviews with specifics beat star counts. Look for reviews that mention your job type and how problems were handled — not just "good service".
4. Itemised quotes only. A lump-sum quote is where surprises hide. Line items let you compare fairly across companies.
5. Never pay fully upfront. Deposit, progressive payments, and a retention until the work is done and checked.
