Building Surveyor Awards 2021 Presentation Ceremony Recognising Contributions and Applauding Excellence

Building Surveyors have always made constructive contributions to the industry and played an important role in participation of works of New Development,A&A and Conversion,Maintenance and Rehabilitation of existing buildings. Given the success of the Building Surveyor Awards since 2015,HKIS BSD is pleased to host the BSA 2021 again. To echo the theme "Community．We Care","Community Caring Award" is newely introduced,and there are two other special awards namely "Sustainability Award" and "Value Enhancement Award" to commend Building Surveyors' contributions in sustainable aspects,economic values,and community care in building projects.

"The theme for the BSA 2021 is 'Community．We Care',with emphasis on community care in building projects,which could not have come more timely. For over a year,Hong Kong has been facing the challenge of the pandemic,every aspect of our lives has been disrupted one way or the other," Mr Michael WONG Wai-lun,HKSAR Government said,"We quickly stood up to the challenge and adapted as the pandemic developed. This could only be done with the cordial cooperation from every sector of the community and the surveying professional has been playing a pivotal role."

"The theme reminds us as Building Surveyors that while we build and develop,we also need to find ways to safeguard people's living environments and hence their health," said Sr Edwin TANG Hoi-kwan,President of the HKIS at the welcome speech. Sr Billy WONG Kin-yee,Chairman of the HKIS BSD believes that the BSA is a great platform for Building Surveyors to demonstrate their competent knowledge and expertise,and raise their professional image in public.
