Our 20^th Anniversary

[timeline.swf]

As we have approached a new milestone, our 20^th Anniversary, our ambition is to continue to become a forefront leader in steadily driving sustainability in Hong Kong. We organised a series of events to celebrate this memorable year with our clients, partners, employees and the general public.

Engaging Our Clients and Partners

Our clients, business partners and professionals in the design and construction industry were invited to participate in various seminars to foster professional design installations and visualise the best practices for sustainable buildings. Our architectural, structural engineering, building services, quantity surveying and maintenance surveying specialists have also taken the opportunity to share their expertise and reviews on the development of sustainable facilities in Hong Kong. The topics of seminars included a wide spectrum of design and build of public facilities, new technologies and design tools, risk management and cost effectiveness.
