Rates vary hugely by city: first-tier labor costs run 30-50% above third-tier, and "per-m²" quotes from contractors often exclude design fees (80-300 CNY/m²), demolition, and material upgrades. The three biggest budget overruns: electrical/plumbing changes, custom cabinetry, and tile/flooring upgrades. Sign a closed-scope contract with itemized pricing, and hold back 5-10% final payment until acceptance.
