Demolition is not simply about creating space; it is about respecting structure. In an HDB flat, knowing the exact difference between a partition wall and a load-bearing column is the line between a considered design and a costly violation.

A renovation is not a collection of decisions. It is a sequence. Get the order wrong - hack before you plan, tile before you wire, paint before you mount - and the cost of correction is not a line item. It is a demolition.
