Policy Address｜The Institute of Architects: The quantity of engineering increases but the lack of talents advocating the government to standardize the professional system

The "Policy Address" proposed the development of the "Northern Metropolis" and promoted the method of assembly and synthesis.

The Hong Kong Institute of Construction Engineers said today (20th) that the huge increase in project volume has highlighted the serious dilemma of talent shortage. It is estimated that there is a shortage of 300 to 500 construction management talents in the industry. It is recommended that the government standardize the registration system for professional construction architects and promote mutual recognition of construction between China and Hong Kong. He also pointed out that the proposal has been supported by 17 contractors, indicating that it will give priority to hiring registered architects.

The Hong Kong Institute of Architects stated that the "Policy Address" proposes to implement a series of plans to increase the supply of land and housing. However, the construction industry is facing difficulties such as a shortage of bamboo labor, an aging population, and high construction costs. New construction technologies such as the modularization of electromechanical systems have not yet fully solved the manpower requirements. In addition, the difficulty and complexity of construction projects have increased day by day, and environmental protection and safety regulations have become stricter, and the command of professional management talents is needed. , In order to complete the project more effectively.

The society estimates that there are nearly 1,000 people engaged in construction management in Hong Kong. The number of qualified members has exceeded 1,000. However, there are only 260 registered construction engineers. Based on the future growth in construction volume, the shortage of construction management talents is expected to be as much as 300 to 500. People, the Institute believes that it is difficult to double the number of registered architects in the short term to fill the vacancies. Therefore, it is recommended that the government refer to the Institute’s registration system to standardize the "professional architect registration system" and step up the connection between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. , Obtain the relevant professional qualifications mutually recognized with the Mainland as soon as possible.
