Limewash for Singapore Condos: What Actually Changes vs HDB

What changes about limewash in a condo

• Higher ceilings. Standard 2.8–3.0m, lofts and penthouses reach 4–5m. Scaffolding adds time.
• Floor-to-ceiling glass. Masking and protecting glass takes 2× longer than HDB walls.
• MCST approval. Most condos require notification for lift access and rubbish disposal.
• Lift booking & access windows. Lift padding, security passes, typically 09:00–18:00 weekdays only.
• Furniture & flooring. Parquet, marble, or engineered timber needs more careful protection than HDB vinyl.

Condo limewash pricing (2026)

Pricing: Condo scopes — single feature walls, full rooms and whole-unit work, standard and high ceilings — are all listed in one place, each including surface prep, mineral primer, full coverage of authentic Raffles or Suzuka, masking, lift-booking coordination and our 5-year warranty. See the full limewash price list for Singapore (2026).

MCST approval — what to ask

1. Does the work need MCST notification? Interior-only limewash usually does for lift booking, not for permit purposes.
2. Lift padding & goods lift booking. Most condos require padding installed by security and a 1-day-ahead booking. We coordinate this.
3. Working hours & weekend rules. Many condos prohibit any contractor work on Sundays and public holidays.
4. Waste disposal. Empty limewash containers (mineral, water-soluble) usually go in normal building waste.

Shade choices for daylight-flooded condos

• Go one tone deeper than you think. A "warm white" looks washed out in noon daylight; pick a "cream" or "soft greige" instead.
• Saturated shades earn their keep. Deep terracotta, olive, or charcoal gives a glass-heavy room a centre of gravity.
• Always test a 1m² sample in the actual room. Daylight in a condo is too directional to judge from a sample card.

See Plate 17 — Condo, floor-to-ceiling glass for an illustrated example.

Furniture & flooring protection

• Full canvas drop sheets (not just plastic) under the entire work zone
• 3M ScotchBlue tape on all skirting and architraves
• Wrapped & pulled furniture; we never paint around furniture pushed to one side
• HEPA dust extraction during any prep sanding
