The Difference Between Renovation Companies Vs Design Company
We often receive inquiries from clients asking about the differences between renovation companies and design firms. Is it common for projects to be left unfinished? How should one choose the right company for their needs? Let us explain in detail. If you are planning to start a business or undertake home renovations, pay close attention!
Renovation Companies
Renovation companies are primarily led by a contractor, who oversees various skilled trades (such as painters, plasterers, electricians, carpenters, etc.) to undertake project contracts.
The contractor plays multiple roles: they are a master craftsman, a supervisor, and the owner. Essentially, they handle everything from quoting and drawing plans to inspections and arranging construction. Clients typically communicate their renovation ideas directly to the contractor on-site, and most companies do not provide complete construction drawings or even 3D renderings. Even when plans are provided, they are often just hand-drawn furniture sketches by the carpentry team.
Consider this simple management model: without providing accurate plans to clients, the quoted prices are indeed often lower than those from design firms.
Interior Design Companies
Interior design companies have more comprehensive design and engineering teams. They create a complete set of design solutions tailored to the specific needs of their clients, which includes floor plans, electrical diagrams, ceiling plans, full construction drawings, 3D renderings, and design concept proposals. In addition to the construction team handling the entire project, there are also project managers who closely monitor the progress during the construction phase, providing a more reliable and well-managed approach.
Why Choose Our Company?
In addition to the various advantages mentioned above, we also handle all sorts of documentation and applications. This includes applying for food licenses required for running a restaurant, submitting documents and drawings to the management office for residential or office spaces, coordinating with the building's designated contractors, and managing the paperwork for changing the name on the electricity meter, among other tasks.
Whether you want to renovate an existing unit or create a new space from scratch, our professional office design services can help you achieve your goals, creating a workspace that is both functional and visually striking.
For example:
Recently, we worked with a new entrepreneur who had just arrived in Hong Kong and was renting a unit in a Grade A commercial building for their startup office. Many clients share similar situations and are often unfamiliar with the renovation processes of such buildings. Upon learning about the complex procedures involved, they can feel confused and overwhelmed.
After evaluating several design companies, they chose us. We managed all the application processes on their behalf and acted as a third-party liaison to oversee the project. Complying with legal regulations, we helped the client achieve their desired functional design at the best price, ensuring a smooth completion of the project. This allowed the client to focus on their business, significantly saving time and avoiding unnecessary hassle.
Our company’s mission is to provide dedicated service to every client and resolve any challenges they face. We thank each and every one of you who have trusted us in the past, allowing us to continually improve and grow while upholding the spirit of our company.
