AskBaily vs HomeKon / Oneday in Hong Kong

Updated 2026-04-21 · AskBaily Content Team~18 min read

香港的裝修涉及建築物條例(Cap. 123)及其附屬規例、屋宇署的批核與檢核流程、小型工程監管制度(Minor Works Control System,第 I 類至第 III 類)下的註冊小型工程承建商、註冊一般建築承建商(註冊一般承建商名冊與註冊專門承建商名冊)、政府指定建築專業人士(Authorized Person / Registered Structural Engineer / Registered Geotechnical Engineer)的角色、消防處對部分工程(消防裝置、逃生通道、走火路線)的要求、屋苑的大廈公契(Deed of Mutual Covenant)及業主立案法團規則、古物及古蹟條例下已宣布古蹟與已評級歷史建築的限制、活化歷史建築夥伴計劃的相關工程要求,以及《個人資料(私隱)條例》(Cap. 486)下的用戶資料處理規範。HomeKon / Oneday 類型的平台採取多家報價比較的模式,結構上未能全面應對這些層次繁複的規範。向 Baily 查詢您的香港裝修項目,我們會媒合一家經審核、符合您的大廈公契特性、工程規模與屋宇署申報要求的承建商。

What's changed in 2026

Homekon continues to operate as Hong Kong's home-renovation marketplace. Homeowner- and contractor-side complaint patterns around fan-out quotes, uneven scope-to-license matching, and lead fees paid on unconverted quotes surface in regional consumer forums on a continuing basis. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) and the Consumer Council have kept digital-platform consumer fairness and PDPO enforcement on 2024-2026 priorities.

The adjacent global lead-marketplace compliance record informs the category posture even where Homekon itself has no filed enforcement action on the public record. The US-side record includes the 2023 FTC $7.2M order against Angi's HomeAdvisor (Matter 192 3113), the 2025-10-13 Vermont Attorney General $100,000 settlement with Angi over the "Certified Pro" label, and the March 2026 Spoon v. Angi TCPA class action (1:26-cv-00523, D. Colo., per PACER). Angi Inc. reported FY2025 revenue down ~13% YoY with ~350 layoffs and Q1 2026 guidance of -1% to -3%, per the Angi Inc. FY2025 earnings transcript — describing the pressure on the broader pay-per-contact model.

Thumbtack's January 2025 OpenAI Operator partnership and October 2025 Apps SDK partnership, plus Angi's 2026-03-04 ChatGPT App launch, mean the AI front door for home-services is now embedded in ChatGPT. AskBaily is the native-AI-first alternative — chat-mediated single-match routing to one vetted Hong Kong contractor rather than a fan-out to three-to-eight paying-to-quote pros, with Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance Cap. 486 data handling by default.

HomeKon / Oneday 現時做什麼

HomeKon、Oneday 以及類似模式的平台是香港裝修媒合與比較報價的常見工具。用戶提交工程需求(單位類型、大廈名稱、預算範圍、工程項目),平台派發至三至五家註冊承建商或室內設計公司,承建商支付引介費或曝光費用,用戶比較報價、查看作品集、面談後選擇。平台多半提供評分、作品集展示、用戶評論功能,但評分機制的原始依據與刪除標準難以外部驗證。常見的消費者投訴在香港討論區、LIHKG、Baby Kingdom、消費者委員會公開投訴統計、以及「星屋拾穗」等裝修 Facebook 群組中反覆出現:多家同時聯絡、估價差異巨大、小型工程監管制度下的承建商類別分類未清楚顯示、公契與法團規則應對不足、僭建物風險揭露不夠、以及分期付款後承建商失蹤的個案 [verify — LIHKG / 消委會 2026-04]。

香港業主實際上討厭的事

從香港討論區、LIHKG 家居生活板、消委會投訴摘要、裝修 Facebook 群組、BabyKingdom 裝修討論、以及立法會民政事務委員會公開陳情資料整理:

  1. 三至五家同時聯絡。 中西區、灣仔、東區、觀塘、黃大仙、深水埗、油尖旺、元朗、沙田、大埔的業主發出詢價後,數日內不斷收到電話。
  2. 小型工程承建商等級分類不清晰。 第 I 類、第 II 類、第 III 類各有不同適用範圍與規模限制;第 I 類以下需由建築專業人士設計與監督。
  3. 註冊一般建築承建商與註冊小型工程承建商的差異未釐清。 涉及結構、消防或新增樓層的工程需要註冊一般建築承建商,不是僅靠小型工程承建商。
  4. 建築專業人士委任義務在部分工程中是法定要求。 例如改動承重結構、涉及新增廁所、排水系統變更等。
  5. 大廈公契與法團同意。 改動共用部分(共用水管、牆壁結構、外窗、冷氣機位置、外牆晾衣裝置)需要法團批准或至少通知管理處。
  6. 僭建物(Unauthorized Building Works, UBW)風險。 僭建結構、違例改動會在屋宇署巡查或將來物業轉讓時產生「釘契」問題。
  7. 文物保育範疇。 已評級(一級、二級、三級)歷史建築的翻新或內部變動須符合古物古蹟辦事處的條件。
  8. 低價競爭後的追加費用。 估價階段省略拆除、垃圾運輸、保護措施、水電改動、防水二次工程,之後以「追加工程」名義加價。
  9. 分期付款與失蹤個案 — 消委會多年來持續接獲相關投訴。

AskBaily 的結構性差異

AskBaily 從 Phase 7.I 合作夥伴池中為您媒合一家合格香港承建商。每位合作夥伴經過屋宇署「註冊小型工程承建商名冊」或「註冊一般建築承建商名冊」公開登記驗證、持有適當類別(第 I / II / III 類小型工程;註冊一般承建商)、有公共責任保險(通常 HK$10M 以上)與勞工保險、有法團折衝與大廈公契應對實績、必要時與註冊建築專業人士(AP / RSE / RGE)建立合作、具備文物保育應對經驗(如適用)、能配合屋宇署電子申報與施工完成證明書(Certificate of Completion)程序。六訊號媒合模型。

Baily 先以粵語或國語進行需求釐清 — 物業類型(私樓、公屋、居屋、村屋、丁屋、商住兩用、唐樓、洋樓)、大廈公契性質、小型工程監管制度的分類、是否需要 AP / RSE 簽署、文物保育狀態、補貼或資助適用性(例如強制性驗樓計劃、樓宇更新大行動、活化歷史建築夥伴計劃)。然後只介紹一家承建商。

第二個結構性差異在於事前明文化的工程仕樣書,以及同一家合作夥伴基於同一份仕樣書施工。比價型平台的三至五家會各自實地勘察、提出不同規格與工法的報價,實質比較變得困難。AskBaily 於需求釐清階段即明文化拆除範圍、保護措施、水電改動、結構評估、設備更新、表面處理等級、廢棄物處理、屋宇署申報、以及保養期,並由單一合作夥伴依同一仕樣書施工,結構上降低追加費用與僭建物風險。承建商註冊類別、保險證號與期限、AP / RSE 合作關係皆在媒合時揭露。

何時選擇哪一個

選擇 AskBaily: 任何需要屋宇署批核、小型工程申報、建築專業人士委任、法團同意、文物保育限制應對的香港裝修工程 — 廚房、浴室、間隔牆改動、外窗更換、冷氣機座改動、大型翻新、舊樓更新、涉及結構或消防的工程、涉及僭建物處置的工程。

選擇 HomeKon / Oneday: 小型、單一工種、明確不涉及屋宇署申報、非共用部分、預算低於 HK$50,000 的工程,且您有自行評估多家能力。

從工程規模、複雜度與時程考量:預算超過 HK$100,000、或涉及結構或消防、或涉及共用部分、或需要小型工程申報、或涉及歷史建築的項目,適合以 AskBaily 先作需求釐清。相對地,單一工種的更換、純粹裝飾性的小工程、無申報要求的項目,於比價平台可直接發案。

常見問題

AskBaily 會有多少家承建商聯絡我? 一家。需求釐清後只介紹一家。

如何驗證註冊承建商身份? 屋宇署公開網頁查詢「註冊小型工程承建商名冊」及「註冊一般建築承建商名冊」。合作夥伴媒合時已驗證,媒合結果附承建商註冊號碼。

法團同意怎麼辦? 媒合考慮法團折衝實績,且能在媒合後提供法團所需的工程仕樣書、施工時間表、保險證明、承建商註冊證。

僭建物要處理嗎? 媒合前會先作結構合規風險初步評估。如物業存在僭建物,建議先諮詢 AP / RSE 作合規化方案(例如還原或申請小型工程合法化)後再行裝修。

個人資料如何處理? AskBaily 依據香港《個人資料(私隱)條例》(Cap. 486)處理您的聯絡資訊,並遵守私隱專員公署的相關指引。您的資料僅用於本次服務的媒合與執行,不轉售、不作無關行銷;跨境傳輸會依條例第 33 條(若生效)或等同標準的保障進行。保留期限以服務完成後 6 個月為原則。

如對施工品質有爭議,可以如何處理? 優先直接協商;不成可向消費者委員會申訴;涉及註冊承建商違規可向屋宇署的註冊承建商紀律審裁組申訴;涉及 AP / RSE 違規可向認可人士註冊事務委員會申訴;金額 HK$75,000 以下可經小額錢債審裁處處理;超出則經區域法院或高等法院。建築瑕疵依《物業轉易及財產條例》及合約條款主張。

可以同時用 HomeKon / Oneday 嗎? 可以。簽約前請確認註冊級別、保險狀態、過往實績與 AP / RSE 合作關係。

Regulatory track record (2023-2026)

Homekon is a distinct entity operating under its local regulatory frame, and no major enforcement action against it is publicly recorded as of 2026-04-21 on our reading of the public register. The adjacent global lead-marketplace record informs the structural pattern.

  • 2023 — FTC $7.2M order against HomeAdvisor (Angi parent, US). FTC Matter 192 3113, deceptive lead-marketing practices.
  • 2025-10-13 — Vermont Attorney General $100K settlement with Angi (US). Vermont AG press release 2025-10-13.
  • 2026-03 — Spoon v. Angi TCPA class action (1:26-cv-00523, D. Colo.). Per PACER.
  • Angi Inc. FY2025 — revenue ~$1,030.5M, -13% YoY; ~350 layoffs; Q1 2026 guidance -1% to -3%. Per Angi Inc. FY2025 earnings transcript.
  • Industry-wide contractor-side sentiment — reportedly, UK equivalents have seen steep subscription jumps (Checkatrade renewal reportedly £756 → £2,160, Rated People reportedly £180/qtr → £200/mo). Houzz BBB reportedly 1.03/5; Angi BBB reportedly 1.96/5.

AskBaily's Phase 7.I partner model is single-match, contract-based, and does not resell homeowner data to a panel. For Hong Kong, the partner contractor signs an agreement that governs callback windows, defect remediation under the locally applicable civil-code warranty regime, insurance posture at permit-pull levels, local licensing verification at the correct classification, and Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance Cap. 486 data handling by default. The homeowner never appears on a fan-out list to three-to-eight pros paying to quote; one introduction, one accountable contract.

The broader point for a Hong Kong homeowner in 2026 is that the structural mismatch between a permit-triggering, scope-specific remodel and a pay-per-contact directory model is not resolved by an AI front door on top. Single-match, scope-first routing is a different product with different incentives.


English summary

HomeKon / Oneday are Hong Kong's common renovation quote-comparison platforms, distributing enquiries to three-to-five registered contractors per request. Common issues include multi-caller fan-out, confusion over 小型工程監管制度 (Minor Works Control System) contractor class (Class I/II/III), skipped requirements for registered architect / engineer appointment (AP/RSE/RGE) on specific works, missed 大廈公契 (building DMC) and 法團 (owners' corporation) approvals, ignored 僭建物 (unauthorized building works) risk and the associated 釘契 issue on property transfer, and missed heritage-building obligations under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance. AskBaily routes Hong Kong homeowners to one Buildings Department-registered contractor with correct class, insurance, DMC / OC coordination experience, AP/RSE relationship where required, and PDPO-compliant handling of personal data. Baily scopes in Cantonese or Mandarin.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
