Having completed the ID of several commercial shops (hair salons and medical clinics), we notice that new business owners are usually overwhelmed and stressed by the pace of the design and renovation process, and the technicalities involved.

 

This article is intended to provide more clarity on its associated costs, in the context of a commercial space within a retail mall. By reducing the number of unknowns associated with renovation, you can have peace of mind to manage the operations of your business. Do note that this article serves as a guide only, as every retail mall has different requirements.

 

If you are setting up a new business in a shopping mall, renovation costs usually form a large percentage of the capital required. Besides the cost of renovation works payable to the Main Contractor, there are other miscellaneous costs involved (payable to Landlord, landlord’s appointed consultants, nominated contractors, and your appointed Building Professionals including Architect, M&E and C&S Engineers for submissions), which you should be aware of.

• ID (Interior Designer) fees
• Interior Renovation costs
  • Payable to Main Contractor you engage for the works
  • This forms the bulk of the expenses.

Other miscellaneous costs (not exhaustive):

• Fitting-out deposit
  • The deposit required by the retail mall varies, and is dependent on the area of the premises.
• Vetting fees by retail mall’s appointed Consultants
  • Architect
  • M&E (Mechanical & Electrical) Engineer, to be advised by appointed Architect if required
  • C&S (Civil & Structural) Engineer, to be advised by appointed Architect if required
• Sprinkler works
  • Sprinklers are automatic devices installed in the ceilings of buildings, to extinguish fire, when triggered. The number and locations of sprinklers is dependent on the layout and will be advised by the tenant’s Professional Engineer (Mechanical)
  • Depending on the requirements of each retail mall, Landlord may require sprinkler works to be done by in-house sprinkler contractors
• Sprinklers discharge and recharge fees
• Temporary Electrical Supply
  • Usually chargeable on a unit rate/ day and is dependent on duration of renovation
• Temporary Water Supply
  • Usually chargeable on a unit rate/ day and is dependent on duration of renovation
  • Usually required at tail-end of renovation period
• Endorsement fees by Professional Engineer for electrical supply to premises, including endorsement by LEW (Licensed Electrical Worker) on CS3 form
• Fees for vetting, endorsement and submission to authorities by tenant’s Architect, C&S Engineer and M&E Engineer
  • Submissions to the relevant authorities would be required depending on scope of works and usage of space
• Others

An experienced Interior Designer would be able to guide you on the process and detailed costs involved. For more detailed information, you can refer to the retail fitting-out manuals which are usually provided upon lease confirmation.

在经手几家商业店铺（发廊和医疗诊所）的室内设计项目后，我们发现，新开业商铺的业主常常会被设计和翻新过程的速度以及所涉及的技术细节压垮。

• 喷淋系统进水排水费用
• 临时供电
  • 通常按天收费，取决于装修持续时间
