- Before the maintenance and maintenance, the personnel of the enterprise will present the maintenance processing order and agree on the maintenance content.
- If paid maintenance services are provided, the enterprise will collect labor fees and material fees, and list materials and labor costs, and implement the service after being recognized by consumers.
C. The following items are not covered by the warranty:
- Material quality problems caused by consumers' own materials.
- Problems arising from the construction quality and supporting facilities of consumer houses.
- Problems caused by improper use by consumers.
- Problems caused by irresistible external forces.
- Projects that consumers and construction personnel trade privately.
- After the completion of construction, the living room is uninhabited and maintained for a long time, resulting in indoor air being too dry or humid, too high or too low temperature, etc., or unexpected situations, such as fire, water immersion, external damage, etc., caused by quality problems.
- Changes due to the formation of natural properties of materials. 8. For the above matters not covered by warranty, the enterprise implements paid maintenance services and clearly indicates the maintenance charging standards.
D. Precautions for warranty maintenance:
- Consumers should repair the repair to the department where the repair telephone provided by the enterprise is located.
- In order to protect the rights and interests of consumers to ensure maintenance, consumers should keep the warranty certificate properly.

Renovation Guideline
If the decoration does not want to end in trouble, it is very important to write in black and white before the start of construction. This refers not only to the quotation, but also to the details of each project. The following are the "Hong Kong Renovation Guidelines" jointly compiled by us, the Hong Kong Arbitration Society and the Hong Kong Institute of Building Inspection, and we recommend that you do a good job in the four major categories of matters before starting work:
1. Collaboration process:
This is mainly aimed at matters that are prone to misunderstanding when the master and the customer cooperate in various decoration processes, examples include:
- Before the start of each major process (i.e. demolition, water and electricity, muddy water, etc.), the customer must make preparations in advance, such as when to buy materials, when to order the size of home appliances, etc.
- Requirements for some particularly important processes, such as the height and material of the waterproof layer
- Delivery arrangements from third-party suppliers, who will sign for delivery
2. Special matters that may result in additional engineering costs:
This includes some special unit conditions that cannot be foreseen before the start of construction, or special requirements raised by customers later, such as:
- Building problems that were discovered after the start of construction, such as water leaks upstairs
- The customer requested some special construction plans, such as "herringbone paving" for tiles
3. Completion acceptance criteria:
The so-called "manual" standard is the source of many disputes. A checklist that can be checked item by item will help both parties to make an objective assessment. Examples include:
- Acceptable procedures for "hollow bricks"
- Inspection distance for acceptance paint
- Furniture closing requirements
4. Quotation Request:
The quotation is the engineering contract, which must contain important engineering details. To protect both parties, the following items must be detailed enough:
- Itemized price
- Payment arrangements
- Duration
- Warranty period
- Terms and Conditions etc.
The above are just a few examples of the 4 major categories of matters. The detailed and complete list is in the "Hong Kong Renovation Guidelines".
The purpose of this guideline is to sort out a set of mainstream home decoration standards and make them available to the public, so as to increase the transparency of the industry and reduce decoration disputes. Although decoration involves a lot of expertise, it is difficult to find even some basic engineering information in Hong Kong.
