Experts Suggest Hong Kong Adopt Mainland Material Standards to Lower Construction Costs

Credited from: SCMP

Experts advocate for adopting mainland Chinese standards for construction materials in Hong Kong to reduce costs, which are currently the highest in Asia.
According to Godfrey Leung from the Hong Kong Construction Association, reliance on European standards increases transportation costs.
The International Construction Cost Index highlights Hong Kong's ranking as the ninth most expensive city for construction globally.
There are calls for random sampling of mainland materials to ensure quality and for the city government to compare mainland standards with existing ones.
The Development Bureau is actively studying measures to lower costs, with a report from the construction industry expected next month.
