Construction Industry Council

May we share with you the new “Showcasing Professionalism: Embracing a New Era for the Construction Industry” from CIC Chairman’s Blog "Hong Kong's construction industry employs a vast workforce that has contributed significantly to the city's economic and infrastructure development over the years, it is one of the pillars of Hong Kong's economic vitality. While compliance is only the basic requirement for professionals, professionalism is the foundation upon which construction professionals build their careers. Professionalism ensures safety, quality, and efficiency of projects, as well as credibility of our industry. The CIC has designated 2025 as the "Year of Professionalism", aiming to assist the industry in building an ideal working environment and gaining recognition from the community."
