Policy Address

148.         We must also face squarely the problems of subdivided units in residential and composite buildings.  Relevant departments will enhance law enforcement action to eradicate and tackle subdivided units that have breached fire safety and building laws.  As for the proposal to regulate subdivided units in residential buildings by licensing, we have to weigh the pros and cons and study its feasibility carefully.

Development of the Construction Industry
