Initiatives

Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) is a construction method where freestanding volumetric modules, completed with finishes, fixtures, fittings and most building services installations, are manufactured off-site and then transported to site for assembly. This method not only improves the project quality and sustainable built-environment but also helps ease some of the challenges facing the local construction industry. Proven benefits include improved site safety, construction efficiency and quality control; shortened construction time; reduced construction waste; lowered demand for on-site labour; as well as less nuisance and disturbance to the neighbourhood.

As stated in the Chief Executive's 2022 Policy Address, the DEVB will establish a cross‑departmental steering committee for co‑ordinating the development of high productivity construction methods such as Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) and the streamlining of related approval processes to remove barriers for the industry. The steering committee will formulate measures to strengthen the MiC supply chain, including making available land in the Northern Metropolis for manufacturing and storage of modules by the industry, and fostering collaboration with the GBA. In addition to expediting housing supply, these measures will strengthen the leading regional position of Hong Kong’s construction industry in the adoption of MiC.
