FAQ

Booking questions

What should I provide for post-renovation inspection at Sai Kung?

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.

Can inspection take place before the works are complete?

Explain completed and ongoing work first so timing and scope can be agreed. Disconnected equipment, uncured work and covered finishes may not be testable. Arrange basic cleaning and utilities and distinguish unfinished work from workmanship issues.

How should I use the report to request rectification?

Use report locations and item numbers to prepare a follow-up list and request an itemised response and repair schedule. Keep agreed scope changes and responses, then recheck the same locations after repair. A separately booked reinspection is chargeable.

How is the inspection fee calculated for Sai Kung?

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.
