Renovating a home should be one of life&rsquo;s most exciting journeys. For many Singapore homeowners, though, placing that first deposit often feels like the riskiest step. Stories of firms shutting down overnight or designers disappearing have made too many people wary of committing their hard-earned savings.&nbsp; At SIXiDES, we believe peace of mind should be part of the package. Which is why we are preparing to launch the SIXiDES Preferred Partner Safeguard.&nbsp; What is the SIXiDES Preferred Partner Safeguard?&nbsp; The SIXiDES Preferred Partner Safeguard is a new homeowner protection initiative that will soon be available exclusively through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sixides.com/professionals/interior-designers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SIXiDES Preferred Partners.</a><a href="https://www.sixides.com/professionals/interior-designers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;</a> It is designed to give you greater confidence when placing your renovation deposit. In situations where a firm becomes uncontactable or is unable to continue with your project, the Safeguard is set to provide coverage on part of your initial payment, with protection of up to S$50,000.&nbsp; While full details will be shared closer to launch, the aim is clear: when you choose a Preferred Partner through SIXiDES, your deposit comes with an added layer of assurance.&nbsp; <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1757476097874-15468683.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Why it matters&nbsp; Placing a renovation deposit is often the most nerve-racking step for homeowners. It is a moment filled with excitement, but also with worry. What if the firm disappears before work even begins? &nbsp; The SIXiDES Preferred Partner Safeguard is designed to ease that worry. By tying protection to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sixides.com/professionals/interior-designers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SIXiDES Preferred Partner network</a>, it builds on a framework of trust we have already established through tools like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sixides.com/equote?utm_source=organic&utm_term=menu&utm_medium=home_page" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EQuote</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://sixides.com/find-my-id" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Find My ID.</a> Together, these measures turn renovation from a leap of faith into a journey supported by accountability.&nbsp; How it may work&nbsp; When the Safeguard is introduced, homeowners who engage a Preferred Partner through SIXiDES will be able to opt in before signing their renovation contract. Should unforeseen issues arise, homeowner can expect a process where claims are reviewed and deposits may be reimbursed, with coverage of up to 50% of the initial deposit, capped at S$50,000.&nbsp; The goal is simple: to give homeowners the confidence that their money is protected as they take the first step into their renovation journey.&nbsp; &nbsp;A step towards safer renovation&nbsp; The Safeguard is part of a wider line-up of initiatives that place homeowners at the center of what we do.

One of the biggest gaps we see is in understanding the materials that sit beneath the tiles and d&eacute;cor. These hidden layers: waterproofing, levelling compounds and adhesives, quietly determine whether a bathroom stays dry, whether tiles remain secure, and whether a homeowner faces costly repairs years down the road. This is exactly why we partner with trusted brands such as <a href="https://ardex-quicseal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ardex-Quicseal</a>, a key manufacturer in Singapore known for high-performance waterproofing systems, tile adhesives and substrate solutions. Their products appear in almost every home, especially in bathrooms, kitchens and balconies where moisture is a real concern. By giving designers a close-up understanding of these materials, we strengthen the advice they give to homeowners, and that improves renovation outcomes across the entire ecosystem.<p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763437899672-Image+1.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <h3>A Behind-the-Scenes Look at What Really Happens Before Tiles Go Up</h3> The workshop took place at the Ardex-Quicseal Academy Centre, where designers participated in a hands-on tour of the brand&rsquo;s demonstration zones. Here, they watched waterproofing membranes being layered, saw how levelling compounds correct uneven floors, and learned how adhesives behave in different conditions. Seeing these steps performed live made one thing clear: a home&rsquo;s longevity depends heavily on what lies below its visible surfaces.<p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763437946437-Image+2.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><h3>Technical Knowledge, Explained Simply</h3>After the walkthrough, the Ardex-Quicseal team hosted a product sharing session that broke complex material science into everyday language.&nbsp; Designers gained practical clarity on:&bull; why proper waterproofing prevents long-term seepage&bull; how substrate preparation affects tile stability&bull; what causes tile popping and how to avoid it&bull; how levelling compounds create lasting uniformity&bull; how early material choices influence future maintenance The tone was accessible and friendly, a welcome shift from the often intimidating world of construction materials.<p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 10.6667px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763437973001-Image+3.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><h2>A Thoughtful Keynote on Craft, Experience and Empathy</h2>The afternoon closed with a keynote by Jackie Lai, Multi-Award-Winning Designer and Design Director of MCC Singapore. Speaking under the theme If I Have A Time Machine, he reflected on how his instincts evolved through landmark projects including Marina One Residences, Gucci Osteria and the Formula One Corporate Sky Suites &amp; Twenty3. His message was simple but powerful: good design is not just about what you see, but about the empathy, precision and lived experience that shape each decision behind the scenes. <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/sixides/uploads%2F1763438004506-Image+4.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><div style='-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; clear: both; cursor: text; overflow: visible; position: relative; direction: ltr; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;' id="isPasted"> <h2>A Warm Afternoon of Sharing and Connection</h2>The event ended on a relaxed note over refreshments, with designers exchanging experiences, asking questions and connecting over shared challenges.
