SCL Hong Kong

SCLHK One Day International Conference 2024

Building Resilience: Navigating Adversity in the Construction Industry The construction industry in Hong Kong continues to face major challenges, ranging from increasing costs of materials and labour, a competitive global environment, and the economic hangover of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the legal and commercial ground rules are changing – most notably with upcoming introduction of security of payment legislation. It is more important than ever to adapt, innovate, and enhance our resilience to overcome obstacles and continue to prosper. Through thought-provoking sessions, the 2024 SCLHK conference aims to provide knowledge and tools to assist you to meet these challenges both proactively and reactively, to better build systems and respond to risk events.
