The Ministry of Commerce’s pilot arrangements for supervision duties by Hong Kong Consultants on aided foreign projects (香港顾问咨询企业试点承担援外施工监理任务)
On 20 August, the SVP, Sr Vincent Ho, together with some BS firms and representatives, held a meeting with the MoC regarding the above activity. A general consensus was reached on the matter and the MoC proposed a memorandum of understanding to be signed by all concerned parties on 4 September. The ExCom is reviewing the details.
The 2015 HKIS Building Surveyor Awards
The OC met with the PR consultant on 25 August and decided that nominations for the awards will be accepted until the end of March 2015. Divided into three different categories (i.e., new building works, mayor A&A and renovation works, and maintenance & repair works), the awards intend to recognise outstanding projects led by our BS members, commend their contributions, inform the public of their expertise, and promote good BS practices.
The awards presentation is tentatively scheduled for 18 June 2015. More details will be announced later.
Meeting with the China International Contractors Association (中国对外承包工程商会)
Due to the suggestion of the MoC, the HKIS’s Mainland Affairs Committee visited Beijing on 20 August to meet with representatives of the CICA. Sr Nathan LEE and Sr Edgar LI represented the BSD and started a dialogue with a view towards future cooperation, in particular working together on overseas projects. Thanks go to Nathan and Edgar for their hard work in this regard.
Crack Gauge (裂缝规)
As reported in the June issue, the BSD crack gauges are now ready for our BS members’ collection and purchase, if needed. Due to delays in their production, they could not be delivered on time, thereby denying us a chance to distribute them during a CPD talk by the BSD’s Past Chairman cum spokesperson, Sr David CHAN. Please present your duly signed coupon to collect your gauges at HKIS office.
