Extended Adoption of Advanced Construction Technologies
The industries would face the dilemma of insufficient manpower due to the heavy construction volume in the coming decade. It was anticipated that the manpower shortage would become increasingly acute at all skilled worker, technician and professional levels. Leveraging innovative construction technologies has been proven to uplift the productivity and efficiency of construction works, improving the effectiveness of work supervision, as well as enhancing site safety performance. The scope of advanced technologies implementation in the industries has been extended in recent years. Nevertheless, the industries were still in the transition period to gradually adapt and implement such technologies into construction practices. Efforts and time had to be put into equipping industry practitioners from front-line workers to senior managerial members with relevant skills and knowledge.
