[Post 323] Homeowners in Singapore turning to renovation apps to save on costs


Summary

Renovation apps are gaining traction in Singapore, after struggling to get a foothold in the industry three years ago.

As labour and material costs rise, industry players said renovation works may get more expensive this year. Rebecca Metteo reports.
