Turnkey construction in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

A turnkey build in Hong Kong is priced per square metre. Sources found online put a standard mid-range project at roughly HK$24,500 to HK$28,500 per sq m in November 2026, and Hong Kong is the most expensive Asian city to build in. The quickest way to a current price for your own plot and floor area is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and permits to check

Building work in Hong Kong is regulated by law. A general building contractor can hold a Registered General Building Contractor (RGBC) licence granted by the Buildings Department, so ask for the licence number before you sign anything. Permits and licences depend on the type of project, and the rules are revised often, so ask the contractor which approvals your job needs and who arranges them. Workers on site should be registered under the construction workers registration scheme.

Timing around the winter months

Winter runs from December to February in Hong Kong, and summer from June to August. November falls just before the winter months. A start date in the new year gives the contractor time to prepare drawings and approvals, so state a realistic deadline in your request rather than a fixed date that may not be met.

How projects are priced and delivered

Quotes are made per square metre of floor area, but Hong Kong figures are also given per square foot, so ask for both. Name the district in your request, whether it is Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun, so that local sellers reply. Ask whether the quote covers plumbing and utilities, electrical work and finishes, and what is excluded.

What to write in the request

Describe the building type, the floor area in square metres, the wall material and the stage of work, for example design only, or a full build from an empty plot. Add whether utilities are already connected, the deadline and your budget. Drawings or photos of the site give sellers more to work from.

To get offers, describe the project in a chat on BlaBlaPrice. The AI asks for the missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. For a full renovation, see turnkey renovation.
