Wall Hacking and Dismantling for Residential Property at Punggol

Project Overview

This residential project required the execution of two key services: Wall Hacking Services and General Dismantling & Disposal Services. The property, a lived-in home, presented a dynamic challenge as it involved working within fully furnished and occupied spaces. The scope of work included the careful removal of built-in features and the partial hacking of walls to prepare the space for renovation.

Our role was to ensure a seamless transition from the pre-demolition phase to a clean, prepared space ready for its next stage of transformation. The project demanded precision, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail, particularly in ensuring minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily life. As specialists in residential renovation, we approached this project with a commitment to quality, focusing on protecting non-demolition areas, minimizing dust and debris, and maintaining clear communication with the homeowner throughout the process.

Technical Challenges

1. Protection of Non-Demolition Areas in Occupied Spaces

Working in a fully furnished, lived-in property presented a significant challenge in safeguarding non-demolition areas. Furniture, personal belongings, and fixtures such as air conditioning units and windows needed to remain undisturbed throughout the process. The presence of items like a bunk bed, standing fan, and personal belongings required strategic planning to ensure these elements were adequately protected. We implemented measures such as covering furniture with protective sheets, carefully relocating items, and ensuring that non-demolition fixtures were safeguarded against dust and debris.

2. Dust Control During Wall Hacking

Wall hacking, especially in residential spaces, can generate significant dust, which poses a challenge in maintaining a clean and liveable environment for the occupants. In this project, we prioritized dust containment by adopting a methodical approach, such as sealing off work areas and using protective sheets to minimize the spread of dust to adjacent spaces. Our team’s precision and attention to detail ensured that the homeowner experienced minimal inconvenience during the process.

3. Working Around Existing Fixtures

The property featured existing elements, such as air conditioning units and heavy curtains, that needed to remain intact during the demolition process. These fixtures required careful handling and strategic planning to ensure they were not damaged. By working systematically and with precision, we demonstrated our ability to execute demolition tasks without compromising the integrity of surrounding elements.

Project Considerations

1. Safety Measures and Protection Protocols

Safety was a top priority throughout the project. Given the residential nature of the property, we implemented strict protection measures to safeguard both the property and the occupants' belongings. This included the use of painter’s tape to protect wall edges, covering furniture with sheets, and ensuring that flooring remained intact during the hacking process. Additionally, our team was diligent in maintaining a clean and organized work environment to prevent any potential hazards.

2. Minimizing Disruption to Daily Life

The property’s lived-in status necessitated a careful approach to ensure minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine. Our team worked efficiently to complete the required tasks while maintaining clear communication with the homeowner. By coordinating work hours and maintaining a tidy workspace, we ensured that the project progressed smoothly without causing unnecessary inconvenience.

3. Attention to Detail and Quality Assurance

Throughout the project, we focused on delivering high-quality workmanship. From precise wall hacking to thorough removal of built-in features, our team ensured that every aspect of the job met our rigorous standards. The clean and smooth surfaces left behind showcased our commitment to excellence and provided a strong foundation for the next phase of renovation.
