The verdict in three sentences
Occupiers, landlords and investors choosing a commercial real estate advisory in Singapore first check the freshness of its market research, the reality of its listings and the credibility of its team. A redesign costs, as a 2026 ballpark, 30,000 to 200,000 SGD (about 22,500 to 150,000 USD) with a local agency, against a fixed Kolonell grid of 2,900, 4,900 or 8,900 USD, with portals and integrations on quote. The main risk in a redesign is losing the pages that already rank and publishing regulated content without review.
The signals that make a large client hesitate
A regional real estate director looking for 3,000 sq m of offices in the CBD, a fund studying a warehouse in Jurong or a landlord letting a building in Paya Lebar will visit your site before any meeting. What makes them hesitate:
| Signal on the current site | What the client concludes | Expected fix |
|---|---|---|
| Latest market note dated 2024 | The firm no longer tracks the market | Dated quarterly notes, searchable archive |
| Listings already let | Unreliable data | Real listings, current status, automatic removal |
| "Major transactions" with no verifiable detail | Unverifiable claims | Only public deals, with the parties' consent |
| Team with no photos or specialisms | Anonymous contacts | Profiles by sector (office, logistics, retail) |
| Slow site, hard to read on mobile | Lack of rigour | Light pages, fast reading on a phone |
| Form with no data notice | Confidentiality risk | PDPA-compliant notice and clear consent |
Commercial real estate clients are not looking for a pretty site. They want proof that your figures are recent and that your teams know their sub-market.
Budget: Singapore agencies, freelancers and the Kolonell grid
Local amounts come from typical agency quotes and public rate pages, converted to USD approximately (1 SGD is about 0.75 USD).
| Option | 2026 local range | Approximate equivalent | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore freelancer | 8,000 to 25,000 SGD | about 6,000 to 18,750 USD | 8 to 12 weeks |
| Generalist local agency | 30,000 to 90,000 SGD | about 22,500 to 67,500 USD | 3 to 5 months |
| B2B specialist agency | 80,000 to 200,000 SGD | about 60,000 to 150,000 USD | 4 to 7 months |
| Kolonell Starter | 2,900 USD | not applicable | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Kolonell Growth | 4,900 USD | not applicable | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Kolonell Premium (multilingual tier) | 8,900 USD | not applicable | 4 to 6 weeks |
| Monthly maintenance | 500 to 2,000 SGD (market assumption) | about 375 to 1,500 USD | Ongoing |
Every Kolonell tier includes a project manager reachable in Singapore's time zone, native English copywriting, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks (4 to 6 for Premium) once content is ready, and 3 months of support. Premium is the multilingual tier: the languages, for example English and Chinese, are set in the quote. A client area for research reports, sync with your listings database or CRM stay on quote, as does maintenance after the 3 included months. Details are on the international offer.
Timeline and redesign risks
| Phase | Indicative duration | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scoping and inventory | Week 1 | Missing pages that generate enquiries | Inventory of URLs and pages receiving traffic in Search Console |
| Content and review | Weeks 1 to 2 | Unverified market figures or listings | Review by the head of research and compliance |
| Design and build | Weeks 2 to 4 | Lost or misfiled PDF reports | Research library with dates and sectors |
| Migration and redirects | Week 4 | Drop in organic traffic | 301 redirect plan tested before the switch |
| Go-live | End of week 4 (6 for Premium) | Forms down | Off-peak switch, rollback ready |
On rules, data protection falls under the PDPA, overseen by the PDPC: consent, purpose and security of data collected through forms. If your group manages real estate funds, the MAS governs financial communications. Estate agency licensing rules may apply depending on the activity carried out. This is not legal advice.
When a local agency is the better choice
A Singapore agency is often preferable if you want in-person workshops with several departments, a bespoke market data platform in the first release, or on-site photo and video production of buildings. If your main need is a fast site, a clear research library, strong team profiles and a migration without traffic loss, the fixed grid lets you keep budget for the research itself.
Questions to ask any provider: who owns the domain and accounts, how expired listings are removed, how reports are filed, what redirect plan is in place and who signs off the figures published.

Mini case study
Illustrative example: Tanjong Ridge Advisory, a 25-consultant firm focused on office and logistics. Wei Ling, managing director, receives a local quote of 70,000 SGD, about 52,500 USD. She compares it with the Premium tier at 8,900 USD (English and Chinese set in the quote), with the client area for reports priced separately on quote.
Gap on the website itself: 52,500 minus 8,900 = 43,600 USD. She allocates part of that gap to producing 4 quarterly market notes and to photographing the properties actually under instruction. The calculation compares budgets, it says nothing about commercial results.
FAQ
How much does a commercial real estate advisory website redesign cost in Singapore?
As a 2026 ballpark, 30,000 to 90,000 SGD with a generalist agency, about 22,500 to 67,500 USD. At Kolonell, 2,900, 4,900 or 8,900 USD depending on the tier, integrations on quote.
How long should we plan for?
At Kolonell, 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready, 4 to 6 weeks for Premium. Add 1 to 2 weeks if your market notes need updating before launch.
Can we publish our transactions?
Only those already public and with the consent of the parties involved. Otherwise, describe mandate types, floor areas and sectors, with no names or amounts.
Do we need a multilingual site?
For investors from the region, a Chinese or other language version can help. The Premium tier at 8,900 USD is the multilingual tier, with languages set in the quote.
Will we lose our traffic?
A redesign without redirects can cut organic traffic for several months. A 301 redirect plan and Search Console tracking over 8 to 12 weeks reduce that risk significantly.
Let's scope your project. A Growth or Premium redesign with a research library and SEO migration can be delivered in 3 to 6 weeks once your content is approved. See the international offer or request a free quote: detailed reply within 48 hours.
