About HKICM

Established in 1997, Hong Kong
Institute of Construction Managers (HKICM or Institute) is the only local
professional institution representing the construction management profession in
Hong Kong. As of 1 November 2018, the number of HKICM members reached 2,814.

The
vision of the Institute is to pursue excellence in construction management. It
aims to promote professionalism and integrity, pushing the registration of
professional construction managers, and enhancing the recognition of
construction supervisors. We think that all sites should be managed by
construction managers, handling works related to workers and sub-contractors,
quality, cost, time, site safety and environmental requirements. The
professional status of construction supervisors is accepted and recognized by
the government and the industry.

About CMA

The Construction
Management Awards (CMA) was first
organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers (HKICM) in 2016.
It aims to recognise the achievements of construction management teams and
practitioners, and also to maintain and strengthen the utmost standards of
professionalism and competitiveness in the construction industry.

There are more than 1,000 construction projects in Hong Kong per year
and each requires a professional working team to oversee planning, design, and
construction for project completion. The Awards provides a platform for
individuals and management teams to exhibit their projects with the highest
expertise in terms of project management, complexity and innovation, time
management, safety, health and environmental management, and financial
management, which are the crucial principles of an architectural project.
