May we share with you the new “Leading Transformation of the Construction Industry by Realisation of New Quality Production Forces” from CIC Chairman’s Blog "The concept of "New Quality Productive Forces (NQPF)" is an important strategy that guides the future development of the industry, and it is closely related to addressing the challenges and opportunities in Hong Kong's construction industry in terms of cost management, construction safety, and sustainable development. I believe that adopting technological innovation to upgrade the traditional construction industry is the way forward, and promoting the high-quality development of the industry towards a high-end, intelligent and green transformation is the direction that we should take."

About us
The main functions of the Construction Industry Council (CIC) are to forge consensus on long-term strategic issues, convey the industry’s needs and aspirations to government, provide training and registration for the construction workforce and serve as a communication channel for government to solicit advice on all construction-related matters. The CIC was formed on 1 February 2007 under the Construction Industry Council Ordinance (Cap. 587). The CIC consists of a chairman and 24 members representing various sectors of the industry including employers, professionals, academics, contractors, workers, independent persons and government officials.

Ir YEUNG elaborated his vision on applying New Quality Productive Forces in smart construction, denoting that a city-wide common digital platform should be put in place in the long term via a concerted effort of enhancing companies’ digital competency and hence uplifting industry-wide standards, ultimately creating a safer and more sustainable future. Mr. TAI then envisaged that with the advent of New Quality Productive Forces, the construction industry could bring forward a change in culture, adopting more innovative and efficient construction practices to suit the smart city development of the modern age, and elevating the overall efficiency to an unprecedented level. Thank you for those who have joined us, both virtually and in person. Do stayed tuned for the next CIC event on New Quality Productive Forces! #CIC #ConstructionIndustryCouncil #constructionindustry #smartconstruction #NewQualityProductivity

Ir Albert CHENG, Executive Director of the CIC, along with representatives from the CIC, engaged in discussions yesterday with officials from the Development Bureau, representatives from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Hong Kong Association of Banks, the Chinese Banking Association of Hong Kong, and more than 20 stakeholders from both the construction and banking industries, aiming to convey their concerns on recent financing challenges and foster understanding and communication between both sectors. The construction industry is a crucial driver of Hong Kong's economic growth and social development, with an annual construction expenditure forecast exceeding HK$240 billion and employing over 500,000 people from professionals and managers to frontline workers. During the meeting, the CIC and industry representatives shared the funding needs of contractors and subcontractors when undertaking construction projects, as well as the cash flow challenges the industry currently faces which require banks to provide more flexible assistance. The banking sector representatives were affirmative in continuing their support for Hong Kong's infrastructure development and their commitment to providing essential financial resources to bolster the construction industry. Following this meeting, the CIC will continue to serve as a communication platform between the construction industry and the banking sector, arranging follow-up meetings between banks and the industry representative to solicit the required assistance. The Development Bureau also committed that, where appropriate, to implement more frequent payments to contractors for ongoing public works projects to help improve the construction industry's cash flow. The CIC will continue to unite and support the efforts of all stakeholders in the industry to collectively address the challenges. 【建造業議會及發展局晤銀行業界 冀加強支援建造業】 建造業議會一直致力支援及推動建造業發展,日前議會執行總監鄭定寕工程師聯同發展局及議會成員、與香港金融管理局、香港銀行公會、香港中資銀行業協會和超過20位來自建造業和銀行界的代表會面,就近期有關建造業面對的融資問題,交流意見,讓業界代表可直接向銀行業界反映現況,增進行業之間的了解及溝通。 建造業是香港經濟增長和社會發展的重要推動力,每年工程額總值超過2,400億,僱用逾50萬名僱員由專業人士﹑管理人員以至前線工友。會議上,議會及業界代表分享了承建商和分判商在承造工程時面對的資金需求,以及現時在現金流上遇到的挑戰,希望銀行提供更富彈性的協助。銀行界代表均表示會繼續支持香港基建發展及向建造業提供所需融資或借貸服務。 在是次會面後,議會將繼續作為建造業界及銀行業界的溝通平台,安排銀行與業界跟進會面,以協助有需要的業者;而發展局亦表示會在合適情況下,為現時已落實的工務工程向承建商加密支付有關工程費用,協助建造業改善現金流。建造業議會將繼續集合及支援業界各持份者的力量,團結應對挑戰。 #CIC #ConstructionIndustryCouncil #DEVB #ConstructionIndustry #HongKongMonetaryAuthority #TheHongKongAssociationofBanks #ChineseBankingAssociationofHongKong #建造業議會 #發展局 #建造業 #香港金融管理局 #香港銀行公會 #香港中資銀行業協會

𝐏𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲: 4𝐒 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐀 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐫𝐚 Since the launch of the Smart Site Safety System Labelling Scheme (4SLS) in May, more and more construction projects have fully implemented 4S to ensure a higher level of safety. Recently, Ir Prof. Thomas HO, Chairman of the CIC, visited one of the pioneering “Repair, Maintenance, Alteration, and Addition (RMAA)” sites that are using the 4S system. The renovation project of the assembly hall at Tuen Mun Government Secondary School by Cheung Hing Construction Co., Ltd., adopts a wide range of 4S products, such as smart watch, smart helmet and smart e-lock. They also monitor workers’ health condition and safety via central management platform, and provide light-duty working platforms to enhance safety. Ir Prof. Thomas HO praises the project team as pioneer in the adoption of 4S in the RMAA industry. He hopes that contractors can share the data on the use of 4S to promote safety technology, embarking on a new era of innovation! 【引領裝飾及維修行業進入4S新時代】 安全智慧工地系統標籤計劃於5月啟動,推動更多工程項目應用4S系統,務求在安全方面做到滴水不漏,建造業議會主席何安誠教授工程師日前便視察了其中一個率先使用4S的「維修、保養、裝飾、改建及加建(RMAA)」工地。 祥興建造有限公司於屯門官立中學禮堂翻新項目作出多項嘗試,包括應用智能手錶、智能安全帽及智能電子鎖等裝置,並透過中央管理平台監察工友身體狀況及工地安全,又配備安全輕便工作台,多方面保障工友。何主席形容工程團隊是RMAA業界採用4S的先驅,又期望各承建商能分享4S使用數據,促進安全科技發展,使建造業進入全面智能化的新時代! #ConstructionIndustryCouncil #CIC #建造業議會 #ConstructionSafety #SmartSiteSafetySystem #4S #SmartSiteSafetySystemLabellingScheme #4SLS

𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗞𝗥 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 The Central Kowloon Route (CKR) is a signature project under construction in Hong Kong, featuring a 4.7 km long dual 3-lane trunk road connecting the West Kowloon reclamation and the Kai Tak Development. Ir Prof. Thomas HO, Chairman of the CIC, along with other CIC Council Members and industry representatives, visited the major tunnel construction of the CKR project—the CKR Central Tunnel. Bouygues Travaux Publics, the main contractor of the tunnel project, presented their innovative technologies and solutions for tackling the constraints posed by the complex underground conditions and surrounding environment. During the construction of the 2.8 km long dual 3-lane tunnel, with the deepest part more than 100 meters below the ground surface at Ho Man Tin, safety was the top priority to ensure the lives of more than a thousand workers inside the tunnel. Prior to the launch of the Smart Site Safety System (#4S) earlier this year, the project team had already invested in and applied numerous innovative and advanced technologies in the signature tunnel project to create a safe environment for workers. As the tunnel was situated deep underground and telecom signals could not be received inside, the project team installed a Wi-Fi network as a backbone for communication and IoT, covering the entire tunnel area. Furthermore, with a well-established communication network, an Omniscient Worker Management System was applied for every worker entering the tunnel area, enabling the location tracking of every worker and prompt initiation of rescue operations in case of any accidents. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Camera on Tunnel Wheeled Vehicles was also adopted in the tunnel area to alert and avoid potential man-plant collisions. With the aid of the AI camera, no man-plant collisions have occurred throughout the whole construction period, despite the cramped environment in the tunnel area. #CIC #ConstructionIndustryCouncil #Tunnel #CentralKowloonRoute #InnovationTechnology #IoT #AI
