The Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) Week, jointly organised by the Development Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Guangdong Province, is being held in Guangdong and Hong Kong from June 23 to June 28.
At the launching ceremony on June 23, BTRi presented accreditation certificates to the first batch of eight manufacturers accredited under the Modular Integrated Construction Manufacturer Accreditation Scheme (MiC-MAS), recognizing their outstanding performance in quality and production standards.
The Secretary for Development, Ms Bernadette Linn, plans to announce a new requirement for public works projects later this year to require MiC manufacturers to be accredited before bidding for tenders of relevant projects, with a view to streamlining the vetting and approval process and ensuring quality.
BTRi will continue to promote MiC technology to become a new quality productive force, and to build the GBA into a MiC technology and construction hub.
