Local preparation

Before booking in Kwai Tsing

Kwai Chung

For Kwai Chung industrial units, define accessible interiors, independent fittings and management permissions. Goods lifts, machinery and shared fire facilities are not automatically included in a unit inspection.

Tsing Yi

For Tsing Yi estates, identify phase, block and entrance or the actual public-housing building. Arrange pre-move checks when utilities and fittings are available and areas are not yet obstructed.

Kwai Fong

For Kwai Fong, distinguish commercial and residential use and entrance. For tenant handovers, bring existing-fitout, equipment and reinstatement records to separate agreed delivery conditions from visible defects.

Kwai Hing

For Kwai Hing offices or industrial units, give floor, unit and operable fittings and confirm visitor access. General inspection records interior condition; it does not certify machinery, production or use.

Inspection and follow-up

What to do after inspection

Organise delivery and work records

Bring handover specifications, equipment lists and agreed changes.

Follow up by issue location

After receiving the electronic report without photos, organise findings by location and item number and request an itemised response from the developer, owner or contractor. Your own photos can support your follow-up records.

Recheck the repaired locations

Confirm repair progress and site conditions before checking the same locations. For a separately booked reinspection, send the recheck list and agree scope, availability and the separate fee first.

FAQ

Booking questions

What should I provide for new-home inspection at Kwai Tsing?

Provide the complete building, phase/block, floor and unit, usable floor area and preferred date. Explain the handover or renovation stage, utilities and access permission.

When should I arrange a handover inspection?

First confirm keys, access, utilities and whether included equipment can be operated, then enquire about availability. Bring handover specifications and the equipment list and verify the delivery party’s defect-submission method and deadline.

What if included equipment is not connected?

Record the equipment, location and connection status and ask the delivery party about connection. Inoperable items are documented as such, not treated as having passed a functional test; confirm scope and fees before any separate recheck.

How is the inspection fee calculated for Kwai Tsing?

The fee uses HK$4.5 per sq ft of usable floor area with area-tier minimum charges. Stairs cost HK$80 per floor; applicable location and optional water-jet test fees are separate. Send the full address to confirm the total quote.

When will I receive the report, and does it include photos?

The electronic report is normally issued on the next business day. It records issue locations and inspection results without photos. Owners follow up rectification with the developer or contractor; a separately booked reinspection is chargeable.
