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

  • 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.
