HKU's Faculty of Architecture Provides a Solution to Implement the Proposed Mandatory Building Inspection
18 Jan 2006
As Government launched a public consultation on the Mandatory Building Inspection in October last year, building management and maintenance have become issues of greater concern for owners, management companies, practitioners and the general public. The questions of enforcement, Voluntary Building Classification Scheme, building standards and conditions, inspection mechanism, training of assessors and financial incentives remain controversial.
HKU's Faculty of Architecture has recently started discussion with the Hong Kong Housing Society, as an attempt to provide a solution to these aspects. To illustrate the need for proper building maintenance, the Faculty will announce results of the latest "Building Quality Index" survey conducted in North Point District.
