8. PRE-QUALIFICATION STRUCTURED

LEARNING & CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

8.1 Pre-qualification Structured Learning (PQSL)

Fulfilling the Pre-Qualification Structured Learning (PQSL) hours is one of the mandatory requirements of Associate Members and Probationers, who must take a minimum of 15 hours of approved learning activities every six full months after their entry to the APC, before they sit for the APC examination. PQSL aims to enrich Associate Members and Probationers with essential knowledge in quantity surveying practices and principles in construction contracts, so as to prepare them for the APC examination. There are a series of PQSL events, namely measurement, procurement, standard form of building contract, contract administration, and specialization, which cover QS topics such as: • Measurement techniques • Measurement of building works and building services

installations • Tendering • Reporting on tenders • Variation and post-contract cost control • Payment valuation and final accounts • Contractual arrangements • Liquidated damages and extension of time • Direct loss and expense claims • Dispute resolution • Liquidation So far in this Council Year 2017/18, 25 PQSL events have been held, including four workshops for APC examinations. All were attended by full houses. For details, please see Annex “A”. 8.2 Continuing Professional Development (CPD):

Retrospect and Prospects Continuing professional development (CPD) is “the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skill and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout the practitioner’s working life.” To upkeep our members’ professional competence in their professional practices and technical performances is one of the importance tasks of the QSD. This year, the QSD CPD Sub-committee, worked with the QSD BIM Sub-committee and QSD Macau Sub-committee, has

organized 52 CPD events on a variety of topics, including contractual and legal, cost management, insurance, management, BIM, green measures, and other technical issues.

PROMOTION OF THE QUANTITY SURVEYING

PROFESSION 9.1 2018 HKIS Quantity Surveying Division

Scholarship Presentation Ceremony (30 April 2018)

The 2018 HKIS QSD Scholarship Presentation Ceremony was successfully held on 30 April 2018 in the HKIS Surveyors Learning Centre. It was the eighth ceremony that the QSD had organized. The main objective of the scholarship programme is to reward students who study quantity surveying at local universities and the Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) and hoping to become professional quantity surveyors. Their ability is evidenced by their electives and performances in key quantity surveying courses during their scholarship periods. A secondary objective is to promote quantity surveying as a highly-valued profession in the construction industry to students. The fulfillment of both objectives would result in more high-calibre young people entering the quantity surveying profession. It was a pleasure to see the President, Sr Dick Kwok, attended the event and gave an impressive speech to the awardees. I together with Sr Raymond Kong and Sr Amelia Fok (both QSD Vice Chairman), Sr Poleon Chan (QSD Hon Treasurer), represented the QSD Council in thanking the guests, department heads, and teaching staff from the three universities and the IVE, the members of QSD Council for supporting and attending the ceremony. 18 scholarships were awarded to students in recognition of their outstanding performances in key quantity surveying courses leading to a bachelor’s or associate’s degree or higher diploma.

12. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM) 12.1 Formation of the BIM Contract Alliance to

review the proposed BIM Contract Conditions (18 July 2018)

The Development Bureau on 1 December 2017 had issued a Technical Circular (Works) No. 7/2017 and on 12 June 2018 issued the latest guideline on Adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for Capital Works Projects in Hong Kong. The Circular has set out the policy and requirements on the adoption of BIM technology with a view to enhancing the design, construction, project management, asset management and improving the overall productivity of the construction industry. While BIM appears to be a world-wide trend, local developers/employers, consultants, contractors and subcontractors are concerned with their risks and liabilities when using BIM. Proper contract conditions setting out the obligations, responsibilities, rights and liabilities of all contracting parties are one of the essential elements for successful implementation of BIM. In responding to this industrial need, the Quantity Surveying Council in the summer of 2017 had drafted a standard BIM Contract Conditions which can be used in conjunction with most local standard forms of consultant employment and contraction contract. The BIM Contract Conditions was presented by Dr Paul Ho, the principal drafter, in the “International BIM Conference” organized by the Quantity Surveying Council on 18 November 2017. An encouraging response was received from conference participants. Subsequently, two consultation forums were held in November and December 2017 to seek HKIS members and industrial stakeholders’ views to enhance the proposed BIM Contract Conditions. The feedbacks received were very supportive. In most overseas countries, standard forms of building contract are usually drafted by a joint contract committee consisting of all relevant professional bodies and contractors. HKIS proposed to form a BIM Contract Alliance in Hong Kong to fine tune and promote the proposed BIM Contract Conditions. The first meeting of the BIM Contract Alliance was held in HKIS on 18 July 2018 with representatives from the following organizations: (1) The Hong Kong Institute of Architects (2) Association of Consulting Engineers of Hong Kong (3) The Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers (4) The Hong Kong Construction Association (5) Hong Kong Federation of Electrical & Mechanical

Contractors Limited (6) The Hong Kong Institute of Building Information

Modelling (7) buildingSMART International (HK) Ltd (8) Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong (9) Construction Industry Council (10) Architectural Services Department (11) Housing Department (12) The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors

13. STANDARD METHOD OF MEASUREMENT 13.1 The Launching of Standard Method of

Measurement 4 Revised (13 August 2018) On 13 August 2018, the Standard Method of Measurement 4 Revised was officially launched. The SMM Committee Chairman Sr Dr. Paul Ho and the full team of Committee were present in the launching ceremony. Each of them was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation by our Past President and QSD Chairman Sr Thomas Ho. Sr Dr. Paul Ho also gave a briefing introduction on the revision made to the Standard Method of Measurement 4. The launching was well attended with a full house of members. The SMM Committee comprises: (i) Choi Sunny (ii) Chow Chun Yu (iii) Fong William (iv) Ho Paul (Dr.) (Chairman) (v) Hon Alfred (vi) Kerswill Ian (vii) Lam Raymond (viii) Lau Ellen (Secretary) (ix) Lee Fook Pui, Billy (x) Leung Kam Moon (xi) Tang Wai Kwong (xii) Yuen Howard (in order of the surname in alphabetic order)

14. NEW LEGISLATIONS 14.1 Proposed Security of Payment Legislation

(SOPL) The HKIS has been working closely with the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA), Association of Architectural Practice (AAP), Association of Consulting Quantity Surveyors (ACQS) on the proposed SOPL. A number of meetings had been conducted among the 3 professional bodies and Development Bureau in the last few years. HKIS is now focusing on the establishment of the Adjudicator Nominating Body in HKIS.

15. CONCLUSIONS I am pleased to conclude that the QSD Council has accomplished most of the tasks set out in the 2017/18 Year Plan with the concerted effort of the Officers, Council members, Co-opted members, Sub-committee members, Panel Advisors and the Secretariat of the Institute. This year term has been a very successful one for the QSD in terms of the connections with its members, training for probationers and associate members, continuous professional development of its members and its external collaborations and liaisons with other local and overseas professional bodies. In particular, QSD has provided opportunities for the young members to go overseas and get in touch with the development of the quantity surveying profession in other countries or regions. The QSD also maintained links to various Mainland cost engineering associations from Wuhan, Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Guiyang, and Chengdu. My heartfelt thanks go to all outgoing Council members for their support and valuable advice, without which the QSD would not have been able to accomplish its targets in the Council Year 2017/18. I also thank all members’ support to the QSD and wish our members to continue to support the QSD in next Council Year 2018/19.

30 1 Jun 18 1.5 2018050 Ir Francis Leung The Best Practice of BIM in Hong Kong Projects Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been developing in Hong

Kong for a decade. During this period, BIM was started with

technology advancement of individuals to applications in building

projects. Due to a wide range of possible applications available from

the technology, project BIM applications in the past were confined to

segregated tasks. The real value of BIM based on a holistic approach

may not be able to realise.

With the advantage of our special organisational structure and our

unique role in building projects, a way of implementing BIM in our

projects is experimented. The BIM applications cover the whole

period of design and construction stages while all disciplines are

included. Main objective of BIM is information management. Our

way of BIM although it is quite unique in the market may be

considered as a good way to make BIM successful. The talk will

elaborate “Our Way of BIM” to initial a debate on any better

approach we can be inspired.

the over-defensive reaction from the respondent are both unhelpful

for the settlement of the construction claims. As a quantity surveyor,

we are the gatekeeper of cost and contract of a project which

inevitably requiring us to play an important role in the claims

The current HKSMM4 was published in 2005. During past years,

there were numerous changes in the construction method and

procurement practice.

While some of SMM Committee members opine that the current

HKSMM4 needs a complete revamp and update to deal with modern

practices, the majority of members also express that based on the past

experience, the preparation of a new SMM would take considerable

time and therefore, as an interim measure, it would be desirable to

quickly issue an amendment to the current HKSMM4 first.

Two discussion forums had been held in late 2016 and early 2017 to

introduce the proposed amendments and collect comments from

stakeholders. In this CPD event, Sr Dr. Ho will present the major

amendments incorporated in the HKSMM4 Revised 2018.
