In the blink of an eye, we are wrapping up 2024 soon. This is a joyous time to celebrate our achievements and also a time to reflect on the lessons we have learned. We applauded the contributions made by different generations of construction professionals to Hong Kong’s development over the past year, which some have earned international recognition through their determination and hard work. On the other hand, the industry has continued to face various challenges, including the need to strengthen safety culture on construction sites to prevent tragic fatal accidents from happening again. The outcome of 2025 will depend on the choices we make while striving forward.
