According to previous renovation cases, the average price of renovation in Hong Kong is about HK$1,000/ft, the lowest is HK$600/ft and the most expensive is HK$1,200/ft. You may make adjustments on the basis of "$1,000 per square foot" to estimate a reasonable renovation cost. The price of the renovation project will depend on the saleable area of the unit, age of the building, qualification of the renovation company and interior designers, renovation materials, interior design style, rush time, and other factors. For example, for a 400 square feet unit with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen, the whole house renovation package costs about $400,000-$500,000, includes whole house renovation, interior design and custom furniture.

The difference between interior design companies and renovation companies lies in their fees and service areas. Usually, interior design companies would provide one-stop service including interior design, project management and supervision services. After arranging on-site measurement, interior designers would start to prepare perspective drawings, site plans, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, design elements, etc. Interior Design Company will directly communicate with the technicians and contractors. While if you directly hire a Renovation Company, you will need to supervise the work and provide interior design on your own. Moneywise, Interior Design Company will charge a higher renovation cost than hiring a Renovation Company. The design cost is about 30% of the whole project. Some interior design and renovation companies offer whole house renovation packages that include custom furniture, interior design and renovation services to meet one-stop design and renovation needs. You can choose from different package options depending on your budget and needs.

The whole house renovation time generally takes at least 90 working days. The more complicated the whole house renovation process is, the longer renovation time is required. The actual time depends on the complexity of the project, the material delivery period, the number of workers, etc. If you have a target completion date, it should be proposed to our consultant and the renovation company before confirming the project.

If the project is expected to be too urgent, there is a chance that the renovation budget will be adjusted by adding more technicians and workers to catch up with the work; or the scale of the project will need to be reduced to speed up progress. For your first time renovation, it is suggested to understand the project schedule set by the renovation company, as well as the renovation steps and process, in order to monitor the progress and quality of construction.
