Our History
The Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers (renamed from the Hong Kong Institute of Builders since 7 July 2000) was officially inaugurated on 5 May 1997 before the return of Hong Kong to China’s sovereignty under the auspices of the Society of Builders, Hong Kong (established since 1961) with some 600 construction professionals as founding members to foster for systematic enhancement of the quality and complexity in construction management.

The Institute has been playing an active and responsive role of consultation to the Government in its policy making process, particularly to those topics related to the construction industry and on issues affecting the construction management profession. In addition, the Institute also plays an important advisory role in the government and statutory bodies as we have been invited to nominate representatives to sit in their boards/committee/panels to give expert advises on relevant construction related policies and issues.
