Paving in Hong Kong: measurement, rules and season

Updated 4 November 2026

Local price sources for paving in Hong Kong show materials rather than full jobs, so there is no reliable rate per square metre to quote. One listing shows pavement bricks at about HK$10 to HK$12 each, and labour is quoted per job once the area is measured. To get a price for your site, send a request on BlaBlaPrice with the floor area and the surface.

What the price depends on

• Floor area, measured in square metres
• Pedestrian or vehicle use, which sets the base and the thickness needed
• Material, such as concrete, stone or permeable pavers
• Surface preparation and removal of the old surface
• Kerbs and drainage around the area
• Deadline and site address, which affect scheduling and transport

Rules and measurement

Government schedules of rates measure works net as completed or fixed in place, so ask sellers whether their quote is measured on that basis. Government pavement guidance in Hong Kong does not recommend clay pavers for every new paving job, and it asks that samples be verified before use. Any business doing the work should hold a Business Registration Certificate, which cost HK$2,350 for one year from 1 April 2026.

Season and drainage

Winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August, which is the wetter part of the year. Lay concrete or pavers in a dry spell, because the base needs time to set before people walk or drive on it. Permeable pavers let water and air pass through the surface, which helps where drainage is poor.

How the job is bought

Quotes are per job, with the area measured net and the material and labour listed separately. Work is taken in Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun, so give the district and the access route for materials. Ask whether the price includes removal of old paving and the disposal of waste, since these items change the total.

What to write in your request

Tell sellers the floor area, whether the surface takes pedestrians or vehicles, the material you prefer, the state of the current surface and any kerb or drainage problem. Add the site address, your deadline and your budget. Photos help sellers judge the base and the slope.
