Home Improvement Programme
- Home Improvement Programme
The Home Improvement Programme (HIP), a new programme announced by HDB, during the National Day Rally in August 2007, is set to replace the Main Upgrading Programme (MUP). The HIP offers lessees a choice on the works they want to be included in the upgrading of their flats. It also helps lessees deal with common maintenance problems in ageing flats, such as spalling concrete and ceiling leaks, in a systematic and comprehensive manner. Flats built up to 1986 which have not undergone the Main Upgrading Programme are eligible for HIP.
cope of Works
Essential Improvements
These are improvements deemed necessary for public health, safety or technical reasons. They are compulsory if HIP is polled successfully.
* Replacement of waste pipes
* Repair of spalling concrete
* Repair of structural cracks
* Replacement of pipe sockets
* Upgrading of electrical supply
Optional Improvements
Lessees may opt out of any or all of these improvements, with a corresponding reduction in co-payment. However, to opt out of toilet upgrading, the toilets will have to pass a water test for leaks. This is to prevent ceiling leaks at the flat below.
* Upgrading of toilets
* Replacement of entrance door
* Replacement of entrance grille gate
* Replacement of refuse hopper
Construction
The construction period for a typical precinct comprising eight to ten blocks will take about one and a half to two years. Works in each flat will take 10 days or less, depending on the improvements chosen.
List of HIP precincts
This project is still in its pilot phase. Currently, two precincts, one each in Yishun and Tampines have been selected.Please refer to the [http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10208p.nsf/WPDis/Home%20Improvement%20ProgrammeAnnounced%20Precincts?OpenDocument HDB InfoWeb]
