Groundbreaking Date Selection (动土择日)
Groundbreaking date selection chooses a date to start major works in a home, such as renovation or groundwork. It is part of our residential feng shui service, and it is often used alongside a move-in date.
What groundbreaking means here
Groundbreaking date selection (动土择日) chooses a date to start major works in a home. For an HDB flat or a condo, the usual case is starting a renovation. The date is chosen by comparing the calendar with the Bazi charts of the people involved.
What we need
- The type and scale of the works, and the range of dates you can consider.
- The birth details of the people in the household, as far as you know them.
- The contractor's start window, if it is already fixed.
How it fits with move-in
Many households choose a groundbreaking date first, and then a move-in date after the works. See the move-in date guide.
Before renovation
For checks to make before renovation starts, see feng shui during renovation.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need groundbreaking date selection for a new flat?
Only if you plan major works. Simple decoration may not need a date. Tell us the scope of the works and we will say what is useful.
Does groundbreaking date selection guarantee a result?
No. It is a traditional reference for planning, not a guarantee.
