Details	:	Advancement of technology has brought in its wake the use of new materials, equipment and methodologies in construction. However, with so many stakeholders involved, from design to procurement, construction, operation and maintenance, are we making the most of what technology has made possible for us? Do designers have access to the expertise of contractors and suppliers so that new technologies are optimized and introduced timely? Is there sufficient incentive for the parties to invest in innovation, mechanization, pre-fabrication and standardization, while at the same time addressing their concern over continuity of work and return on investment? For infrastructural and public works projects, the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government pays increasing attention to facilitating innovation and buildability. The speaker will share some thoughts and experience in helping designs with good practices, bridging the knowledge and experience gap between designers and contractors, and building incentives in the value chain.
