About starting renovation dates
The almanac calls starting construction 動土 (moving the earth) or 修造 (repairs and building). Only the first day of work, usually the first hacking or drilling, needs a good date. After that, the contractor can work to their own schedule.
Good days fall on 成 Success, 開 Open, 定 Stable or 執 Initiate, a hands-on day that suits building. We skip Destruction and Close days, year-breaker days, the eve of each season change and Yang Gong taboo days. Hungry Ghost month is not excluded here, but some families still avoid it.
Renovation also looks at the Sha (三煞) direction. If you tell us which side of the flat the work starts on, the calendar removes days whose Sha falls on that side.
Questions about starting renovation dates
Which side of the flat counts?
Stand in the centre of the flat and use a compass. The side is where the first work happens, for example a kitchen in the North or a bathroom in the Southwest. If several areas start at once, choose the side with the heaviest work.
Does the time of day matter?
Some families have the first strike done in the morning, often on a wall in a favourable direction. Most contractors are happy to start early on the chosen day.
What if my only available date is a Fair day?
Fair days have no traditional exclusions, so they are a reasonable start. Avoid Destruction days and days that clash with the owners’ animals if you can.
What about Hungry Ghost month?
The classic renovation rules do not exclude the 7th lunar month, so those days are not greyed out here. Many families still prefer to avoid starting work then, so you may want to skip it too.
Do I need a good date for every phase?
No. The tradition focuses on the first day of work. Some families also choose a day for installing the main door or the stove, but that is optional.
