Construction Business Development and Construction Productivity

The Com-CBD&PRO aims to foster an efficient and healthy construction market by promoting best practices and innovative solutions in areas such as tendering, project management, quality supervision and risk allocation, innovative construction approaches including robotics and automation, offsite construction, and research and development. It seeks to elevate construction productivity through improved processes, industrialisation, and the adoption of innovative technologies and materials.

BOARDS & COMMITTEES

Construction Digitalisation

The CIC continues to promote and facilitate wider adoption of construction digitalisation and related technologies in architecture, engineering, construction and operation, as well as formulating strategies for market transformation and promoting cross-discipline collaboration in the industry. The CIC provides support to the industry in five areas, via promotion on construction digitalisation adoption, standards and guidelines, training, BIM personnel certification and BIM course accreditation, and construction digitalisation-related research using CIC's Research and Technology Development Fund.

Boards and Committees

Environment & Sustainability

The CIC has been working as a proactive communication platform to promote sustainable construction among organisations and industry practitioners of the construction industry. Sustainable construction is one of the essential aspects that helps to reduce the industry’s impact on the environment, society and economy. For more details, click HERE

Boards and Committees

Mainland Affairs

The CIC aims to facilitate the integration of Hong Kong's construction industry into the national development by enhancing communication and cooperation with relevant Mainland enterprises and institutions, and promoting the understanding and application of innovative building technologies from the Mainland in the local construction industry to enhance technological innovation, competitiveness and knowledge transfer.

The CIC also assists in facilitating the alignment and mutual recognition of standards and qualifications between the Mainland and Hong Kong in the construction sector, facilitates local industry stakeholders in exploring the supply chain in the Greater Bay Area, supports knowledge exchange and cooperation in relevant training between the two places, and fosters a good understanding on the Mainland and the construction industry development for the youths in Hong Kong.

Boards and Committees

Modular Integrated Construction (MiC)

With an aim to facilitating wide adoption of MiC in Hong Kong, the CIC keeps abreast of the latest MiC trends and development worldwide. The CIC provides information on relevant regulations and guidelines, as well as updates on MiC projects. The CIC has set up a Resources Centre to share information and experience, engages industry stakeholders, and addresses their concerns for achieving success in their MiC journey.
