About PSGO

The Government has been investing in public works projects to enhance people’s living environment and sustain Hong Kong’s long-term competitiveness.

Meanwhile, we are facing the challenges of high construction costs and an ageing construction workforce. Moreover, the public has increasingly high expectations for better performance of public works projects. These challenges call for more effective cost management and project governance in the delivery of public works projects.

In June 2016, the Project Cost Management Office (PCMO) was established under the Development Bureau to implement cost management initiatives for the delivery of public works projects in a timely and cost-effective manner. In April 2019, PCMO was upgraded and renamed as the Project Strategy and Governance Office (PSGO) to implement strategies and enhance capabilities in cost surveillance and project governance. PSGO adopts a holistic approach to strengthen cost management and improve the performance of public works projects through various initiatives.

PSGO now has around 25 multi-disciplinary professionals, including architects, building services engineers, building surveyors, electrical and mechanical engineers, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, quantity surveyors and structural engineers, dedicated to formulating strategic initiatives to promote innovation, strengthen project governance and enhance the performance of public works projects.
