FAQ
What is your quotation process, and what does the quotation include?
After a free consultation, we arrange an on-site survey and provide a detailed quotation — scope of work, material specifications, timeline and payment milestones are all itemised. Once signed, the quotation is a contractual commitment: no hidden fees, no surprise price increases mid-project.
How long does a project typically take?
It depends on scope: small renovations (e.g. kitchen, bathroom) take about 4 weeks; full-home renovations usually 12–16 weeks; larger projects (with structural changes) are quoted separately. Timelines are written into the contract — we commit to delivering on the date we put in writing.
How are design fees calculated? Is design-and-build mandatory?
Our standard Design & Build tier includes design services (space planning, styling, material recommendations) at no extra cost. Clients requiring design only, with construction handled separately, may engage our standalone design service, quoted by complexity.
Is a warranty provided after completion?
Yes. Every project comes with a warranty period, with the duration and scope set out in the contract — a written term, not a verbal promise. During the warranty period, if an issue arises from workmanship (e.g. paint cracking, loose joinery, plumbing or electrical connections), simply call or email us and we will arrange a follow-up. What the warranty does not cover includes damage caused by people, materials ageing naturally over time, leakage from the building's external walls or common pipes, and alterations made by the owner. If you would like us to take a look, please send us the unit address, the location of the issue and on-site photos — complete information helps us assess the situation faster.
Is the company registered or licensed? Is the work protected?
We are a Hong Kong registered company. Work is performed under formal contract by professional teams (electrical work is carried out by a registered electrical contractor for compliance and safety). Contract protection is the first pillar of our commitment — in writing, for both sides.
How does payment work? Is payment required in full upfront?
No. Payments are split by progress milestones (e.g. deposit, commencement, mid-stage, final inspection). Each instalment corresponds to verified progress — the next payment is made only after the client confirms the relevant stage. That is our confidence in our workmanship.
Do residents need to move out during construction?
It depends on scope: for partial renovations (kitchen, bathroom) you can usually stay home — we seal and protect the work area. For full-home renovations we recommend staying elsewhere for a smoother timeline. The details will be discussed with the client at the quotation stage.
Can you renovate a single room only?
Yes. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living area — we take any partial scope. Work like this usually falls under our Essential Renovation option (charged per square foot) — small scope, short duration, controlled budget, with the same quality standard as a full renovation.
Do you undertake commercial / retail renovations?
Yes. We have commercial experience (retail shops, offices, restaurants) including quick-refresh services — for example, a shop refreshed within two to three days to minimise downtime. Commercial projects have dedicated quotations; feel free to enquire.
How do I start? What is the process?
The process is straightforward: contact us via WhatsApp or the web form → free consultation to understand your needs → on-site survey → detailed quotation → contract and commencement → stage inspections → completion and warranty. The client only confirms each step; everything else is handled by us.
Why choose LICHT? How are you different from other companies?
We are an integrated design-and-build team — designers and construction crew under one company, so you never juggle between a design firm and a contractor. Transparent quotes, contract-backed commitments and on-time delivery are our baseline promises, not selling points. Every completed project is genuine work, available for you to review.
Are there real projects available for review?
Yes. The Projects page showcases our real completed work — from public-housing refreshes to premium residences and commercial spaces, each accompanied by actual completion photos. Should you require further detail after browsing, feel free to message us on WhatsApp.
