Tukang Tiga Renovation
What a small renovation contractor's website could feel like: raw concrete at the top, smooth plaster by the end, and built around what home owners worry about — what happens in what order, who is in my flat this week and what the surfaces will feel like. Scroll through the build and the room puts itself together.
Tukang Tiga Renovation is a fictional contractor we designed for this concept. The people, address, sequences and week counts are made up, and nothing here books, quotes or sends anything.

Measure twice.Hack once.
We renovate flats the slow-careful way: drawn properly, done in the right order, and explained to you at every step. One project lead from the first site visit to the day you get your keys back.

Tukang (n.) — Malay for craftsman. Tiga — three: the three of us who started this, on paper.
How we build
Six stages, always in this order.
Most renovation stress comes from things happening out of order. Scroll through and watch the room come together the way your flat will.
01
Measure & draw
We measure every wall, find the pipes and power, and draw the whole flat to scale before anything moves.
A set of drawings to sign off. No dust yet.
02
Hack & clear
Old tiles, built-ins and approved walls come out; debris is bagged and hauled away the same day.
A bare concrete shell and the loudest week of the job.
03
Wiring & pipes
New power points, lighting and plumbing are run in the walls and floor, exactly where the drawings say.
Lines chased into walls, and a short walk-through so you can check every point.
04
Floors & walls
Screeding, then tiles or vinyl on the floors and tiles where the walls get wet.
Surfaces going down, room by room, with doors kept clear.
05
Carpentry
Cabinets and wardrobes are made in the workshop to the drawings, then installed in a few days.
The flat suddenly starts to look like a home.
06
Paint & handover
Paint, lights, a deep clean and a walk-through together with a list you sign off.
Your keys back, and a list of anything we still owe you.

Week counts are illustrative for this concept, not a quote or a promise. Some works need approval before they start; on a real project we'd check that with you first.Showing the full sequence. With JavaScript on, the schedule updates as you choose.
Materials
Touch it before you choose it.
Every surface in your flat, laid out honestly: where it works and what to watch for. On a real project you'd see and handle samples at our studio before anything is ordered.
Floors & bathrooms
Homogeneous tile
- Good for:
- Wet areas and heavy wear; the colour runs all the way through.
- Watch for:
- Cold underfoot, and grout lines need sealing.
Floors & countertops
Terrazzo
- Good for:
- A playful, durable floor that hides crumbs well.
- Watch for:
- Heavy, and polished finishes can be slippery when wet.
Carpentry & doors
Timber laminate
- Good for:
- Warm-looking cabinets that wipe clean and cost less than solid wood.
- Watch for:
- Edges can chip; ask for thicker edge banding near the sink.
Kitchen counters
Quartz top
- Good for:
- A hard, non-porous counter that shrugs off curry and kopi.
- Watch for:
- Keep hot pots off it; use a trivet.
Feature walls
Limewash paint
- Good for:
- A soft, cloudy wall that looks hand-made in daylight.
- Watch for:
- Less scrub-proof than standard paint; not for behind the stove.
Bedrooms & living
Vinyl plank
- Good for:
- Quick to lay over old tiles, quiet and warm underfoot.
- Watch for:
- Can dent under heavy furniture legs; use pads.
The studio
A small office, a big sample wall.
We're a small team who'd rather do fewer flats properly. Come in, open drawers, knock on things, and take a sample home to see it in your own light.

One project lead
The same person from the first measure to the last touch-up, with a phone number that gets answered.
Drawn before it's built
Every cabinet and power point is on a drawing you've signed off before a single wall is hacked.
Photos every site day
A short update in your chat after each working day, so you never have to drop by just to check.
Neighbours first
Notices up before noisy works, corridors protected, and the lift lobby left cleaner than we found it.
Questions
Before anything is hacked
Do I need to move out during works?
For a full renovation, most people stay elsewhere during the noisy, dusty weeks. For a single room or a refresh, you can usually stay. We'll tell you honestly which weeks are worst.
Can I change my mind halfway?
Small changes, often yes. Changes after carpentry is made in the workshop cost time and money, which is why we draw everything first and ask you to sign it off.
What if something unexpected turns up behind a wall?
It happens in older flats. We stop, show you a photo, explain the options and only carry on once you've agreed.
Who do I call when something breaks after handover?
Your project lead. On the real site this is where the defects-period terms would go, in plain words.
Design notes
- Site hoarding meets show flat: concrete-grey pages that settle into warm plaster as you scroll, tall condensed signage type, blueprint teal for plans and terracotta for actions, square 4px corners. Fixed design inside the Explore frame; ignores the view switcher.
- Concrete #dcd8d0 · Plaster #f4f1ea · Paper #fbfaf7 · Ink #1d1c1a · Graphite #4b4943 · Rule #c7c1b6 · Terracotta #9c3d1a · Blueprint #1f5f5b · Sage #a9b8a0 (illustration only).
- Big Shoulders (tall, condensed, like site signage) for headlines and stage numbers, Public Sans for everything else. Loaded only on this page; the rest of the site keeps Ubuntu.
- A pinned isometric room builds itself in six stages as each stage of the process scrolls past; a tape measure fills as you move through the build; material swatches wipe in like a trowel pass; the page backdrop shifts from raw concrete to finished plaster. All CSS scroll-driven animation with an IntersectionObserver fallback; under reduced motion everything shows finished.
- A site planner: choose your home type and the works you need, and it lays out which trade is in your flat each week, in the order they have to come. Without JavaScript it shows the full sequence.
- Labelled Concept, excluded from search engines, no reviews, ratings, project counts, years in business, licence or accreditation claims — real or fictional. Week counts are labelled illustrative.
Run a trade or a project business?
Tell us what your customers keep asking before they sign, and we'll design a site that walks them through it. Yours, not a copy of this one.
