WONG Programme Manager and College Lecturer Housing and Built Environment in HKU SPACE Ms. Jo W.S. LAU Chartered Building Surveyor Mr. Wilson C.Y. SHEA Chartered Quantity Surveyor Synopsis: In various construction industry reports, the buildability of building designs has often been criticized as having rooms for improvement. Some efforts have been made in Australia, Singapore, the UK and the US on measures of improvement. A tool for assessing buildability needs to be established before fruitful improvement measures can be implemented and compared objectively. Whilst Singapore has gone some way into legislating for minimum buildability, ongoing research is being carried out in developing a Buildability Assessment Model (BAM) for use in Hong Kong. After obtaining feedback from the industry on an earlier BAM based on detail design information available only at statutory submission, a research team at HKPolyU has fine-tuned it into a simplified version of the BAM for use by stakeholders at the Scheme Design Stage. With buildability grading known as early as the Scheme Design stage, improvement measures can be worked out where necessary. In the presentation, the simplified BAM approach will be explained and demonstrated with the help of examples.
