【Full house renovation project schedule, budget and process reference】

Hong Kong's whole-home renovation projects involve a wide range of projects, with no standardized timeline, budget, or process.

The duration and budget vary depending on the unit size, design requirements, and quality of materials used. The average reference price for renovations in Hong Kong for 2024-2025 is approximately $1,000 per square foot, with actual prices fluctuating between $600 and $1,200. This includes not only construction fees but also project management costs. Construction times range from as fast as 40 days for smaller units to three months or more for larger ones.

Unit area, construction period and construction cost budget for whole house decoration

The duration and budget of the whole house renovation project can only be used as a reference. The actual quotation needs to be adjusted according to the complexity of the on-site construction conditions or the materials used.

Summary of the whole house decoration process and key points:

• The general process is: design consultation → demolition of old decoration → water and electricity/mud and water renovation → custom carpentry → painting and beautification → equipment installation → final construction acceptance → move-in/maintenance follow-up.
• Budget preparation should be based on one's own needs and financial budget arrangements, and more than 10% of flexible budget should be reserved in advance to prevent sudden price increases.
• It is recommended to choose a one-stop design and decoration team to clearly define the management and responsibility of the entire process. The quotation and contract content must list the details to avoid disputes and protracted construction.
• Try to communicate the desired effect in advance through drawings/3D designs. For custom materials, allow for production and delivery time (usually 2-6 weeks).
• When choosing a quotation, you should pay attention to whether it contains hidden charges, customer protection clauses, etc.
