7. Professional Services and Development (i) Dispute Resolution

A quick survey on members' interest in dispute resolution was conducted in April 2018. This survey aimed to help Dispute Resolution Committee understands the extent of members’ basic knowledge in various forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms and practical experience in the dispute resolution processes. The data collected also reviewed members’ preference in different dispute resolution topics which facilitate the Committee in formulating the upcoming training and CPD events in 2018 so as to enhance members’ basic knowledge on various forms of dispute resolution mechanisms and processes. A CPD seminar on “Practical Tips on Dispute Resolution and Real Case Sharing for Construction Contract” was held on 4 October 2018. Contents of the seminar include 3 sessions: (a) Guest speaker Mr Wesley PANG talked on the topic of “Construction ADR - where we are

and where we ought to be”; (b) Guest speaker Mr M T YEUNG delivered the topic on “Overview of construction

arbitration process”; and (c) Guest speaker, Mr Joseph CHUNG presented the topic on “Moving on from Chun Wo

Buildings vs Metta Resources”, an experience sharing on the court case of Tsz Shan Monastery in Tai Po.




(ii) Registered Construction Managers (RCM) Up to 24 Aug 2018, a total of 248 members or equivalent to 24.8% of HKICM Corporate Members have been registered as Registered Construction Managers under 9 separate batches since the registration was first launched in May 2014. To promote the competence, status and professionalism of RCMs, the following events and activities have been held during the year: During 2018, 2 free CPD seminars were offered to all those registered RCMs as a token of

thanks for their registration and support, including: > RCM Series - Seminar on “Practical Tips for Selecting Suitable and Safe Tower Cranes

on Construction Site” on 28 June 2018; and > RCM Series - Seminar on New Construction Management Challenges in Modular

Integrated Construction by a Case Sharing on 14 September 2018. Summary profiles of the existing RCMs have been analysed and uploaded on to the

website on 10 May 2018. The existing criteria for RCM registration will be reviewed and revised during the

upcoming council session in order to broaden the base of RCMs. (iii) Registered Construction Supervisors (RCS)

Promotion talks on “Introduction of HKICM” and “Construction Supervisors Registration System” have been carried out continuously to students of various vocational institutions and CIC Students Alumni Association during the year. As a result, a total of 260 Student members have been recruited up to 15 October 2018.

AS social gathering “Pu’er Tea (普洱茶) Tasting cum Experience Sharing Gathering” was

held on 7 September 2018. (v) Promoting Our Profession and Members

The Institute is very concerned about the Shatin to Central Link Project incidents and has expressed our views through various media that “lack of proper supervision is likely the main cause of the substandard works at Hung Hom MTR Station. In the absence of a registration system for construction management and supervision personnel means they aren't forced to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong.”




To close the loophole, the Institute urges the Government to consider introducing a mandatory registration scheme to regulate the registration of and control the competency standard as well as to enhance the professionalism of site supervision personnel, including Construction Managers and front-line Construction Supervisors.

8. Financial As per the “Report of The Council and Financial Statements” prepared by the Independent Auditor - Li, Tang, Chen & Co., total income of the Institute for the Financial Year (FY) 2017/18 ended 31 March 2018 amounted to HK$2,042,407 (increased by 2.4% from HK$1,993,349 in FY 2016/17), total expenditure of HK$1,654,105 (increased by 0.06% from HK$1,653,045 in FY 2016/17), surplus of HK$388,302 (increased by 52.4% from HK$340,304 in FY 2016/17) and an accumulated net fund balance of HK$2,557,785 (increased by 17.9% from HK$2,169,483 in FY 2016/17). For details of the income and expenses, please refer to the attached Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2018.

9. Words of Appreciation This was a great period of my life as leading the Institute has been a fun, educational, sometimes exciting, sometimes disappointing and frustrating but always interesting experience that I highly recommend. My experience as HKICM President has been good because of the fantastic people I have had the privilege to work with under this role in enhancing and promoting the profession of construction management. Although extremely busy during my presidential period, it was very challenging but fruitful and I enjoyed contributing myself in the development of the Institute. The achievements listed in the foregoing are the endeavours of the Past Presidents, Council and Committee Members as well as the Secretariat Office staff who have worked with me during my time as President. Taking this opportunity, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude all of them, who have devoted a lot of their valuable time in the Institute for the betterment of the construction management profession. Under the leadership of the incoming President and with the generous support and patronage of Council Members and all our members, I am confident that our Institute will continue to prosper and maintain our progressive and sustainable development to face the challenges ahead. Lastly, on behalf of the HKICM, I would like to wish you all have many fruitful years ahead.
