Description

As of 2018, the Government HKSAR has adopted Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in major government capital works projects. To assist such adoption, Development Bureau published a Technical Circular (Works): 7/2017 to set out the policy and requirements, whereas the Buildings Department (BD) published a practice note: ADV-34 to provide general guidelines on BIM submissions for building proposals.

 

To equip small to medium size enterprises in adopting innovative technologies, a $1 billion Construction Innovation and Technology Fund was proposed by the Financial Secretary in his 2018 Budget Speech thus paying the way to assist the community in the adoption of BIM.

Adoption of new innovative ideas and technologies have risks, but with better insight and knowledge one can minimize its exposure while benefiting from the fruits of such adoption from a business perspective.
