<em>A resale property is more expensive to renovate.</em>

<em>An older property will need more extensive renovation.</em>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Marble sourced from Italy is more expensive than the one sourced from China. A laminate kitchen counter top is cheaper than a granite counter top.</em></p>

For instance, the renovation industry is currently disrupted by the Covid-19 circuit breaker and many interior design firms face manpower and material procurement challenges too due to the neighboring countries lock down.</p>
