Some of the activities held during the session were very noteworthy. From 23 to 26 February 2017, I was tasked to lead a delegation visit to Taiwan with 27 members. Upon our arrival at Kaohsiung, we immediately paid a visit to the Kaohsiung Professional Civil Engineers Association and met Dr. CH Wang and their professional team. At the meeting, we were given to understand the general practices of civil and building engineering in Kaohsiung. Exchange of information about engineering in Hong Kong and Kaohsiung was also further carried out between the two parties in the gathering.

After the Kaohsiung visit, we took the express train to the Taipei city. In Taipei, we were taken to the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) to meet with the Center in Charge and some professors from the National Taiwan University. During the meeting, an introduction about the NCREE was given by Dr. Chung and Professor Wang. In return, I briefed our counterparts the role the Division plays in the building industry of Hong Kong.

On 8 March 2017, the Division organized the 16th Annual Seminar titled “Functional Methodology for Sustainable Building Development”. In this event, Ir Hon Chi-keung, Permanent Secretary for Development (Works) Development Bureau, HKSAR Government provided a Keynote Speech, and Mr. Victor So, Chairman of Urban Renewal Authority, and Ir Joseph Choi, President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, also

Activities and events successfully held by the Division relied very much upon the tremendous efforts and time contributed by the cabinet members. This cabinet included committee members, student helpers and affiliates of the Division up to nearly 30 persons. As from our records, the activities and events organized by the Division had attracted high attendance and positive responses from the participants. Some of the photos taken during the activities are now attached herewith.

Session 2016/2017 – Chairman’s ReportAs the incumbent Chairman, I would like to report the important events and activities held by the Building Division in the 2016 / 2017 Session.

With the assistance of a dedicated and capable team of committee members, Building Division managed to organize over 20 activities / events for members during this Session. These activities included a series of technical talks and seminars, site visits (both in HK or outside HK), a retreat visit for committee members, a fellowship dinner gathering for loyal supporters of BUD, an annual conference, a delegation visit to Taiwan as well as the year end division highlights, the AGM cum Annual Dinner of the Building Division.

All these activities / events not only provided useful and insightful information to members, they also served as platforms for professionals to exchange their views, knowledge and practice in building and construction engineering. More importantly, the relationships amongst members and other allied professional institutions have been strengthened under these inter-disciplinary activities.

rendered an Opening Address and a Closing Remark respectively to the audiences of the seminar.

This remarkable event was successfully held with over 350 participants including members, speakers and guests. Eight distinguished speakers were invited to present and share their knowledge and experience on functional methodology they believe should be adopted for sustainable building development. The seminar was proven to be very inspiring and informative. It had generated a lot of interactions and discussions among the speakers and the participants.

Further to echo the importance of building safety, the Division as in last year, joined the Building Safety Pioneer Programme (BSPP) organized by the Buildings Department (co-organized with HKIE, HKIA and HKIS). A series of office visits were hosted for students to understand better the roles of different professions in partaking of building safety in Hong Kong. In addition, the Division also sent representatives to participate in the joint talk of

There were various other activities organized by the Division in this Session. A summary of technical events held is attached in this booklet for reference.

As for the Division’s Annual General Meeting cum Annual Dinner last year, I would like to report that it was successfully held at the Holiday Inn Golden Mile Hotel on 5 May 2016. We were honored to have Mr. Paul Chan, Secretary for Development of the HKSAR Government, to attend the function as our Guest of Honor in that evening.

As for the upcoming Annual Dinner, to be held right after the Annual General Meeting, scheduled on 10 May 2017, we are equally honored to have Ir Eric Ma, Secretary for Development of the HKSAR Government, to be the Guest of Honor. He would surely impart to us his insightful views on matters of building in Hong Kong.

As in previous years, the Ir Francis Tong Man Kan Memorial Fund continues to function effectively. Two Best Individual Dissertation Awards will be presented during the coming Annual Dinner. We are extremely pleased to have Mrs. Tong, wife of the late Ir Francis Tong, as guest to present the Awards to the winners at the Dinner.

In closing, I take this juncture to extend my most sincere thanks to all members for their unreserved support and active participation in the Division’s affairs and activities. My deepest appreciation is extended to our Committee Members, led by Deputy Chairman Ir Michael Yam, for their dedicated assistance and untiring contribution to the Division during this Session. I look forward to seeing a continuing success of the Building Division next year.

Building Discipline Advisory Panel (BDAP) Report (Session 2016/2017)

A series of career talks to students and interested persons had been conducted in universities, Career Expo and appropriate platforms during this session.

The number of applications for membership to the discipline was steady.

Details of the Minimum Core Subjects for the Building Discipline, which included the core subjects, the subject areas and the desirable hours, had been approved by the Training Committee of HKIE.

HKIE was planning to conduct Professional Assessments by a competent base assessment approach. Trial run based on the new approach would be carried out for our discipline, and Professional Assessors in our discipline would be briefed about the new arrangement accordingly.

BDAP would continue to convince works departments to accept the Building Discipline Qualifications in the General Works Contract Specification Requirements for works contracts.
