Construction Industry Council - Annual Report 2024

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY COUNCIL 102 OPERATIONAL REVIEW The seamless execution of this project has instilled robust confidence in MiC methodology across the sector. We are committed to accelerating industry advancement and positioning Hong Kong as the gold standard for construction excellence. Our paramount mission is to demonstrate that MiC inherently delivers certified quality assurance throughout the building lifecycle. As a transformative construction paradigm, MiC’s demonstrated success in this flagship project creates compelling incentives for private developers to adopt this approach. This strategic shift will propel Hong Kong’s construction industry towards enhanced quality and sustainability targets. Experiential Learning through Site Visits To advance industry-wide competency in MiC and maintain technological acuity, the CIC strategically conducted a visitation programme comprising three domestic technical tours and a Greater Bay Area (GBA) manufacturer visit in 2024. These curated engagements brought together key stakeholders including: • Members of the CIC Committee on Construction Business Development and Productivity • Project owners from public and private sectors • Main contractors and specialist subcontractors Technical Tour Portfolio: February: Mock-up of Tseung Kwan O Area 72 Fire Services Complex June: Student Residence at Wong Chuk Hang for the University of Hong Kong (HKU) December: Cyberport Expansion Project Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) As a pivotal component of High Productivity Construction (HPC), Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) has witnessed exponential growth in Hong Kong. Spearheaded by the Development Bureau with strategic support from the CIC, MiC has been successfully established as an industry benchmark through multi- dimensional initiatives: policy formulation, regulatory framework implementation, the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF) funding schemes, and cross-sector stakeholder engagement. MiC Resources Centre: Bridging Professional Expertise and Public Engagement The MiC Resources Centre served over 11,000 visitors in 2024, hosting international technical delegations and becoming a global expertise knowledge hub for modular construction advancements. Our continuously updated database facilitates technical exchanges among Hong Kong, Mainland China, and global partners, while live demonstration units enable the general public to experience MiC’s quality advantages firsthand, effectively dispelling misconceptions through tactile learning. Knowledge Transfer through Seminars and Webinars The seminar on Hong Kong’s first private residential MiC project at 28 Tonkin Street (completed in August 2024) attracted more than 2,000 participants to attend in person and online. The developer, architect, contractor and module supplier of the project presented comprehensive case studies covering project planning, design innovation, modular manufacturing, on-site assembly, and quality assurance protocols, establishing new industry standards.
