Hong Kong’s Construction Innovation and Technology Fund approves Bricsys products

Construction industry in Hong Kong

The government of Hong Kong is funding 1 Billion HKD (112.8 Million Euro) to up-level the construction industry in Hong Kong. The program is called the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF), sponsored by the Development Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (DEVB), and is being implemented by the Construction Industry Council (CIC).

The CITF is aimed at improving outcomes in the construction industry through two key initiatives:
First, the CITF will be used to support technologies, including machinery, equipment and software with "proven effectiveness in boosting productivity, uplifting build quality, improving site safety or enhancing environmental performance (of built structures)". It is in this category that two Bricsys products -- our Bricsys 24/7 Common Data Environment (CDE) and BricsCAD BIM -- fit the criteria set by the Hong Kong Development Bureau. The criteria for qualification include products that leverage automation, industrialization and digitization of construction projects to improve all aspects of the final built environment.

This pre-approval ensures that companies choosing Bricsys 24/7 and BricsCAD BIM for their projects will enjoy a streamlined project application process with the Hong Kong Development Bureau.

Secondly, the CITF will focus on enhancing the capability of all practitioners in the building process, to harness technology for the continuous improvement of the construction industry. This will include training and collaboration courses for industry practitioners, and the sponsoring of international conferences on construction technology adoption in Hong Kong.

Bricsys is proud to be selected as a part of this initiative. To find out more about Bricsys 24/7 and BricsCAD BIM, visit www.bricsys.com.

Dealing with the Concrete 'Crisis': Leveraging Point Cloud in CAD for Surface Deviation Analysis

In the wake of a concrete 'crisis' affecting existing buildings, such as many schools in the UK constructed with Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), the need for precise assessment and remediation strategies has never been more critical. Integrated into CAD software, point cloud technology becomes valuable for addressing surface deviation concerns in RAAC structures.
