Renologist is a mid-sized, Mainstream-category interior design and renovation firm established in 2018, with a team of 35 and a single showroom. Its 40 recorded projects are weighted towards HDB flats, particularly 4-room and 5-room units, with condominiums forming the next largest group. The firm positions itself as a one-stop provider covering design consulting, space planning and project management. Listed project values range from 3-room and 4-room renovations to larger executive and landed works. Its profile suits homeowners seeking end-to-end renovation for HDB or condominium homes, rather than a narrowly specialised practice.

Strengths
Strong HDB and condominium track record The 4-room (13), 5-room (9) and condominium (7) projects make up the bulk of the portfolio. This gives the firm a clear, repeatable base in the most common Singapore home types.
Consistently high average ratings Average scores across 208 reviews are 9.0 to 9.5 for design, workmanship, service and value, with service the highest at 9.5. The overall rating is 9.2.
Broad accreditation coverage HDB Registered, BCA Registered, RCMA and bizSAFE 4 cover public-housing and building-works registration as well as workplace safety. This is a relevant set of credentials for HDB and condominium renovation work.
Things to take note
Wide style range, no single signature Project records span Modern, Asian, Minimalist, Contemporary, Scandinavian, Vintage and Transitional styles. Homeowners with a specific aesthetic should review portfolio examples in that style.
Partial project and resale data Project records shown cover 30 of the 40 counted projects, and only 10 of the 40 are resale. Budget and style comparisons are therefore less conclusive for resale homes.

Accreditations (4)

Renologist holds 4 recognised industry accreditations covering HDB renovation, contractor registration, industry membership and workplace safety.

“Keep up the good work!”

I am very pleased with working together with Gabriel and Wayne on our projects. They have been consistent and reliable in several projects of mine. They have done a wonderful job in listening and proposing what is best for me by weighing the various options. I am glad to have assigned them to do up my cosy home, business commercial shop and modification works every single time. They are able to adhere tightly to the timelines given and never fail to deliver. This is especially critical for my commercial shop as time is of the essence and crucial for business owners like myself. I am very thankful and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for renovators/interior designers. Keep up the good work!

“An ID Who Truly Goes Above and Beyond”

Being a first-time homeowner can be pretty daunting, especially when you've heard one too many renovation horror stories. After going back and forth with about 8 different IDs, I'm so glad I eventually found Penny from Renologist. What I appreciate most about Penny is that she's not just an ID who tells you what you want to hear. She's professional, warm, patient, and most importantly, honest. She's never afraid to tell me when I'm being a little "delulu" with my ideas ?, and I genuinely appreciate that. I wanted someone who would give me honest advice, challenge my decisions when needed, and not just agree with everything I said. Penny has been exactly that. Over the past few months, she's become so much more than just my ID. She's been my rock through the entire process, helping me navigate decisions (and my endless indecisiveness), offering advice even on things that are completely outside her scope, and making what could have been a very stressful experience feel so much more manageable. I also have to give credit to the contractors, plumbers and everyone involved in the renovation. They've been great to work with, and Penny has been fantastic at coordinating everything. Her turnaround time is incredibly quick, whether it's answering my questions, following up on something or getting things sorted with the team. I never feel like I have to chase her, which honestly takes so much stress out of the process. And it's not just about getting the job done. It's knowing that I have someone I can trust, who genuinely cares and has my best interests at heart. That, to me, has made all the difference. We've all heard of renovation nightmares, but I can confidently say that I've actually enjoyed mine. And a huge part of that is thanks to Penny. Thank you, Penny, for going above and beyond, for putting up with my endless questions and occasional delulu moments, and for making this whole experience a lot less scary and a lot more enjoyable. I really couldn't have asked for a better ID for my first home. ❤️

“Great experience with Gene & Gary”

Highly recommend Gene and Gary! Both of them are super meticulous, thoughtful and really professional from start to finish. You can tell they are very knowledgeable and experienced in what they do. They really took the time to understand our needs and gave us very practical advice, not pushy sales talk at all. Always responsive and very organised, so we felt very assured and at ease throughout the whole renovation. Most importantly, timeline was met and everything went smoothly with no stress. We are really very happy with how our home turned out. Big thank you to Gene and Gary for all your hard work and patience with us! If you are looking for a reliable and sincere ID team, please look for them!

“Excellent journey with Ken and Wendy!”

We engaged Ken and Wendy from Renologist and they could immediately capture the vision of what we wanted for our first home. They were patient throughout the process but also shared helpful insights and tips when it came to designing the home. Their quotes and pricings were transparent and fair and they helped to address all our queries promptly and honestly. We are very pleased that our final home was extremely close to the original 3D render. Throughout the reno process, Ken and Wendy kept us constantly updated and even expedited certain items to fit our timeline. They were helpful at every stage of our Reno process and even helping to accommodate last minute changes and tweaks to ensure the home they handover to us is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and suit our lifestyles. We are very grateful to have been able to work with them!

“Nice renovation experience!”

We had a very positive experience working with this interior design studio for the renovation of our resale HDB, and we are genuinely happy with how our home turned out. Renovating a resale flat can be quite challenging, especially when there are existing conditions, older fittings, space limitations, and unexpected issues that may only surface after renovation works begin, so having a reliable and experienced team made a huge difference throughout the entire process. From our first few discussions, the team took the time to understand our lifestyle, preferences, practical needs, and the overall look and feel we wanted for our home, rather than simply proposing a standard design. We especially appreciated that they were able to balance aesthetics with functionality, which was very important to us as we wanted the home to look clean and cohesive while still having sufficient storage and practical solutions for everyday living. Their suggestions on space planning, carpentry, materials, colour combinations, lighting, and small design details were thoughtful, and they were also open to listening to our ideas and making adjustments where necessary. Communication throughout the project was another strong point. The team was responsive whenever we had questions or concerns, kept us updated on the renovation progress, and explained the available options clearly whenever a decision had to be made. This gave us a lot more confidence during the renovation, particularly as there are naturally many moving parts involved in a resale HDB project. We also appreciated that they were transparent when discussing practical constraints instead of simply agreeing to everything, and they would suggest alternative solutions when something was not ideal or feasible. During the renovation itself, the works were coordinated well and the team paid attention to the details of the finishing. As with any renovation, there were some minor items that needed adjustment or rectification along the way, but what mattered most to us was that they were willing to take responsibility, follow up, and work towards resolving the issues properly instead of leaving us to deal with them on our own. The final result feels very much like a home that was designed around the way we actually live. The spaces feel comfortable and well planned, the overall design is consistent, and many of the small details that were discussed during the design stage came together nicely in the finished home. We have also received many compliments from family and friends who visited after the renovation, which was really nice to hear after going through the entire renovation journey. Looking back, we are glad that we chose this studio for our resale HDB renovation. A home renovation is a major commitment in terms of time, money, and energy, so having a team that is patient, communicative, practical, and committed to delivering a good outcome is extremely important. We are thankful to the team for their effort and support from the initial design discussions all the way through to completion and handover. Overall, we would definitely recommend them to homeowners who are looking for an interior design studio for their HDB renovation, especially those who value thoughtful design, practical space planning, good communication, and a team that is willing to listen and work together with the homeowner throughout the process. Thank you to the entire team for helping us transform our resale flat into a home that we are very happy and comfortable living in!

“A job well done”

Joan is our ID. She was a referral from my colleague. She seemed to fully understand our needs from the very beginning, and I don't want to understate this buy our needs were a little unique. Her quotation came back very reasonable and we went with her. Throughout the process, she was very accommodating. We made a few changes along the way but she was very patient with us. I would definitely recommend Joan if you are looking for an ID who will listen to you. Do not be overbearing.

Design

Some of our requirements were complicated. It required closing up some doors while opening up other doors.

Workmanship

In general, the workmanship was good. There were some kinks here and that but they were not necessarily the workers issues.

Customer Service

Joan was always available. She is very responsive and gets back to us most of the time within a few hours at most but mostly within minutes. She replies to messages late into the evenings.

Value for Money

The firm provided great value for money. I believe the value is in the ID as she provided all of the customer experience.
