The Building (Minor Works) Regulation Cap.123N was passed in 2009 after almost 5 years of consultation with the industry and debate in the LEGCO. Numerous revisions were made during that period in response to input from stakeholders in particular the 'Minor Works Contractors Registration Concern Group' comprising 22 organizations including your Federation being an active member. The implementation date is yet to be determined while training to prepare contractors/individuals for registration is being conducted. Like all new registration exercises, turbulence can be expected in the initial stage.
One common misunderstanding being heard from contractors is - extra restriction on their current practice, which is NOT the case. A workshop is now scheduled on :
17 May 2010 Monday, at 4:30 pm, in the conference room of HKFEMC
to brief members on this Regulation which affects mainly the P&D and HVAC disciplines as far as our E&M trade is concerned. However, all others are welcome.
