Professional Development of Construction Industry
Application of Robots
226. We have required public works projects to adopt construction robots in suitable processes. To this end, the Construction Industry Council will also provide relevant training to promote the effective use of robots in the industry.
Promote Application of Innovation and Technology
227. The Construction Innovation and Technology Fund serves to promote the industry‑wide application of I&T, thereby enhancing productivity and site safety as well as reducing construction costs. We will inject $1 billion into the fund to continue supporting industry development.
New Engineering Contract Form and Smart Site Safety System
228. We are actively exploring with the Qianhai Authority for the pilot implementation of Hong Kong's New Engineering Contract form and Smart Site Safety System in Qianhai to facilitate the alignment of the Mainland's engineering contract and management system with Hong Kong and international standards.
Align Construction Standards
229. We will make reference to GB and overseas standards to further enhance local construction standards and specifications. Besides, we will leverage Hong Kong's unique strengths as a global city and its experience to co-establish the GBA Construction Standards and help GB gain access to the global market.
Building Technology Research Institute
230. To promote applied R&D and strengthen control over construction costs, we have earmarked $100 million for commissioning the Building Technology Research Institute to conduct various studies. These include reviewing construction standards and exploring AI applications.
