    Report content and use

Local preparation

Before booking in Sham Shui Po

Sham Shui Po

For Sham Shui Po units, provide the full street number and lift/stair details. State actual use; a general inspection does not certify statutory approval of a use or alteration.

Cheung Sha Wan

For Cheung Sha Wan commercial units, list pantries, independent toilets and operable equipment. Confirm permission to test management-controlled equipment rather than assuming it is within tenant scope.

Lai Chi Kok

For Lai Chi Kok homes and commercial buildings, verify entrance, block and use. Bring contractor quotations and equipment details for renovation checks, separating workmanship from existing building facilities.

Mei Foo

For Mei Foo estates, state phase, block and street entrance rather than only the estate name. At handover, check retained fittings and key/card arrangements; estate works and common facilities are outside unit scope.

Inspection and follow-up

What to do after inspection

Organise delivery and work records

Prepare the quotation, drawings, equipment models 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 post-renovation inspection at Sham Shui Po?

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 Sham Shui Po?

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.
