D15 · Mass Landed
Telok Kurau staircase work mostly involves full rebuilds on new construction projects or substantial refurbishments tied to whole-home renovations. Standalone staircase refresh jobs are less common here than in older established neighbourhoods because most owners are doing larger-scope work.
Why Telok Kurau
For new builds, staircase design is fully integrated with the architect's plan from the start, typically open-riser configurations with steel stringers and timber or stone treads. For retained structures, the original 1980s timber-and-concrete staircases are usually replaced wholesale rather than refurbished — owners want a contemporary look that the original structure cannot deliver.
Mass-landed value-to-mid pricing, S$15,000–S$28,000 for typical refurbishments, with new-build configurations integrated into wider renovation budgets. Steel-stringer open-riser conversions push into the S$25,000–S$38,000 band.
An inter-terrace rebuild off Lorong J had a custom steel-stringer staircase fabricated for an open-riser configuration with solid oak treads and frameless glass balustrades. 3 weeks on-site as part of the wider rebuild.

Common Questions
Timber tread overlay with new railings starts from $15,000–$30,000. Natural stone (marble, granite) runs $20,000–$45,000. Full structural redesigns with glass balustrades and custom metalwork cost $25,000–$50,000. Price depends on materials, staircase size, and complexity.
Timber is warm, quieter underfoot, and suits most interior styles. Marble is more durable, cooler (pleasant in Singapore), and suits grander homes. Timber needs re-sealing every 3–5 years; marble needs sealing and can be slippery when wet. Both are excellent choices for different aesthetics.
Glass balustrade installation typically costs $300–$600 per linear metre, depending on glass type (tempered vs laminated) and mounting system (point-fixed, channel, or standoff). For a typical 3-storey landed home, budget $8,000–$15,000 for full glass balustrade replacement.
A tread overlay with new railings typically takes 2–3 weeks. Full structural redesigns may take 4–6 weeks. We stage work to maintain access between floors throughout.
An open riser staircase has no vertical boards between treads, creating a light, modern look that allows light to pass through. They're popular in contemporary landed homes. Building code requires gaps under 100mm for child safety, which we achieve with glass or metal infill panels.
Yes, but structural changes to the staircase layout require engineering approval. We handle the full process including structural calculations and submissions.
