Technology Application and Innovation

130. Building Information Modelling technology allows construction professionals to carry out design and construction works in a virtual environment, which helps avoid changes in the construction process as far as possible, reduce risks and render clarity to project costs in various stages. The Government will actively seek to require consultants and contractors to use this modelling technology when undertaking design of major government capital works projects from next year onwards.

131. The Construction Industry Council will set up an innovation and technology application centre to provide a platform for introducing innovative technologies into the industry to enhance productivity. The centre will commence operation in the second half of this year.
