📊 Hong Kong Market Overview

Hong Kong's new build design market is cyclical, peaking during major handover periods. Many firms offer estate-specific packages. Developer-recommended designers are convenient but may not offer the best value — independent comparison is advised.

💡 Practical Tips

Complete property inspection first and have the developer fix defects before starting design. Designers should only take measurements after defect rectification to avoid redesign costs.

Why Renovation Quotes Vary

Layout & area

Same area but different layouts can create 20-40% cost differences.

Material grade

Materials account for 30-50% of cost; imported vs local can differ significantly.

Scope inclusions

Some quotes exclude demolition, waterproofing, or appliances — confirm before comparing.

Contractor type

Design firms charge 15-30% more than direct contractors but include design and management.

Confirm Before Comparing Quotes

Is demolition, waterproofing, electrical included?
Are material brands and grades specified?
Timeline and delay liability?
Payment schedule and retention terms?
Warranty period and coverage?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Does a new flat need renovation? Isn't the developer finish enough?

Developer finishes are basic and generic. Most owners opt for at least partial renovation — custom furniture, additional storage, and kitchen upgrades — to suit their actual lifestyle needs.

Q Can I get a discount if many owners in the same estate hire the same designer?

Some firms offer group discounts for the same estate since similar layouts share design elements. Expect 5–10% savings, though each unit still needs individual adjustments.
