🏠 DP Original: Designer Work Without Paying Designer Price

The Renovation Dilemma for New Homeowners

For most first-time BTO homeowners, renovation costs in Singapore can feel overwhelming. A 4-room BTO typically costs $50,000 to $60,000 to renovate with an interior designer, and even a direct contractor quote often exceeds $35,000.

New homeowners often feel stuck between:

  • Interior designers (IDs): Professional, stylish results — but at a high price.

  • Contractors: Lower costs — but risky, with unclear pricing, delays, or poor coordination.

Is there a way to have both — designer quality and affordable prices?

Introducing DP Original: The Smart Way to Renovate

DP Original is Singapore’s first templated renovation system built for BTO homeowners who want affordable, stylish, and reliable outcomes.

Instead of paying for costly custom design, we offer pre-designed templates created by our professional designers, tested on hundreds of past projects. With templated works, you enjoy:

  • Fixed pricing by measurement (e.g. Parc Flora Tengah / Tampines Green Jade / Nanyang Opal - 24ft kitchen cabinet = $4,890).

  • Quality assurance from designer-approved styles and materials.

  • Digital convenience through the DP Original mobile app.

This unique approach lets you enjoy designer-standard results at up to 30% less cost.


Why Can DP Original Offer Such Low Prices?

  1. Templates = Lower Design Fees

    • Traditional IDs charge for design hours, multiple revisions, and custom drawings.

    • DP Original reuses proven, pre-designed templates for kitchens, wardrobes, bathrooms, and living rooms.

    • Clients save on design fees — while still enjoying a professionally curated look.

  2. Standardisation = Efficiency

    • By fixing measurements, materials, and layouts in templates, suppliers and contractors work faster and with less waste.

    • Materials are pre-sourced in bulk, lowering per-unit cost.

  3. Technology-Driven Workflow

    • Our mobile app eliminates manual coordination.

    • No more middlemen, WhatsApp miscommunication, or hidden mark-ups.

    • From pricing to scheduling, everything is automated — saving manpower and admin costs.
