Co-operation Relating to Construction Industry
163. The Building Technology Research Institute established last year is comparing and complementing the testing and certification requirements between standards in different regions with a view to promoting local application of high‑quality and cost‑effective construction materials. Moreover, the Institute will closely liaise with the counterparts concerned in Guangdong Province for commencing a strategic study on standards in the GBA soon.
164. We are actively collaborating with the Guangdong Province to leverage complementary advantages of Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) methods and develop MiC as an industry in the GBA. Efforts will be dedicated to R&D, quality accreditation and international marketing of MiC.
165. We have, in collaboration with Guangdong Province, successfully established the "Professional Title" evaluation mechanism for the first batch of Hong Kong engineering professionals. The mechanism will be gradually extended to other construction‑related professions with the right conditions. We will also collaborate with Guangdong Province and Macao SAR to formulate GBA standards on the skill levels for skilled workers and technicians of the construction sector, and take forward the "One Examination, Multiple Certification" arrangement. We will announce the GBA standards for the first pilot trade in due course.
