Why 6 digits?
HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.
This subclass covers the combination of various activities related to the fitting, decoration, and renovation of both the interior and exterior of buildings. It includes tasks that integrate the work typically classified under interior fittings and decorations as well as exterior renovations and repairs.
