HKDecoman.com
Recognizing the pitfalls of an opaque renovation market, HKDecoman.com’s website (https://www.HKDecoman.com) was set up three years ago to overcome these challenges by offering a one-stop solution to homeowners with engineer-matching and consultancy services. Once information of the renovation unit is entered into the system, a consultant will follow-up on the user’s requests within 12 hours (according to his/her design preferences, budget and location). Based on the request, HKDecoman.com’s experienced team of consultants will select up to three companies for the user and a specialist will monitor progress during renovation. HKDecoman.com has a transparent system in place which monitors and rates the renovation companies on the website. Up until now more than 1,500 renovation companies have registered on the website throughout Hong Kong.
