Quick answer: In a rented office, ask the landlord first, use approved fixings, and plan to remove the panels at the end of the lease (reinstatement). Building management usually wants a layout, fire papers and install times. Choose fixings that are easy to remove and patch.

Key takeaways

  • Ask the landlord first.
  • Building management wants layout, fire papers and timing.
  • Plan for removal at lease end.

Check your lease

Look for clauses on alterations, fixings and reinstatement. Some leases need written approval for any screws in walls. Knowing this first saves trouble later.

What building management asks

They usually want a layout, product specs, fire papers, installer details and work times. Our Flexi™ panels are fire safe. We prepare method statements and risk assessments, and coordinate with the owner’s side and third-party consultants on fire papers. See what building management asks.

Easy-to-remove fixings

Clips and rails leave small holes that are easy to patch. Some walls suit no-drill fixings. Pick fixings with reinstatement in mind. See no-drill panels.

Ceilings

Hanging clouds from the slab needs approval. Ceiling panels are always fixed mechanically, never glued. We provide method statements and risk assessments for your building. See ceiling panels.

Reinstatement

At lease end, panels come down, holes are patched and walls painted. We can take panels down at the end of your lease and re-fit them at your next office. Plan this before you sign the lease. See moving panels.

Cost

Meeting rooms usually need 8 to 12 panels. At S$185 each installed, that is S$1,480 to S$2,220. Standard fixings are included; scaffold for high ceilings, night or Sunday work and custom sizes are quoted separately. See office treatment cost.

Timing

Approvals can take a week or two. Ask early. Panels are made to order in about 4–6 weeks, so both can run at the same time.

Shared walls

Panels on walls shared with neighbours may need extra approval. Check with building management first. Panels on your own partitions are usually simpler.

What we see on real jobs

Landlords are more likely to agree when they see a clear layout and fire papers. Ask early so approval does not hold up the job.
