The Short Answer

For furniture installation in Singapore, compare the same items, quantities, access requirements and quoted scope. TMG Install provides an itemised quotation for agreed work; wall fixing is included only when explicitly listed in your quotation. Traditional movers focus on transport, while DIY requires your own time and tools.

When to Choose Each

Choose TMG Install when…

You've bought furniture and need the assembly or installation scope reviewed. Any wall fixing must be explicitly listed in the quotation.

Choose traditional movers when…

Your main need is moving boxes and existing furniture between homes. For the assembly side of a move, TMG Install also offers a dismantle-and-reinstall relocation service.

Choose DIY when…

The item is small and simple, you have the time and tools, and no separately quoted wall-fixing work is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I compare installation quotations?
Compare the same item models, quantities, service and access requirements in writing. TMG Install itemises the requested work; custom scope needs review. We cannot verify another provider's prices or inclusions.
Should I assemble furniture myself or hire an installer?
DIY can save labour costs but requires time, suitable tools and careful attention to the product instructions. If you request professional installation, compare the exact work listed in each quotation. Wall fixing is included when specified in the approved quotation only when explicitly listed. Wall securing must be listed in the approved quotation and suit the furniture instructions, construction and site fixing points.
What is the difference between a mover and an installer?
Movers transport items between addresses. An installer assembles or installs the scope listed in the quotation. Wall fixing, transport and relocation are separate unless explicitly included when specified in the approved quotation. Wall securing must be listed in the approved quotation and suit the furniture instructions, construction and site fixing points.
Do I get a price before booking?
Approved catalogue work has an itemised estimate. Custom or uncertain items need staff review before a final quotation. Scope, access and applicable additional charges must be agreed. Dates and times remain preferences until staff confirms; acceptance or payment alone does not confirm an appointment.
