CITF - Technology Adoption
The Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF) 建造業創新及科技基金 is established by Development Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (DEVB) 香港特別行政區政府發展局 to encourage wider adoption of innovative construction methods and new technologies in the construction industry. Funding mode: 70% for project adoption.
Digital Works Supervision System
Digital Works Supervision System (DWSS) 數碼工程監督系統 is a web-based centralised portal that facilitates digital submission and approval of construction works information - RISC forms (檢查/調查檢查表格), site diary (工地日記/工地記錄簿), site safety inspection records (工地安全檢查記錄), cleansing inspection checklists (清潔檢查清單), labour return records (出勤記錄), contract management (工程合約) and more.
Policy
Under Development Bureau (DEVB) Technical Circular (Works) No. 2/2023, DWSS is mandated in Hong Kong for capital works contracts exceeding HK$30 million.
Grant benefits
Streamline construction works supervision in Hong Kong with digital submission and approval of construction works information, centralised information management, and real-time monitoring.
Eliminate The Need For Manual Paperwork
By leveraging the power of digital solutions, DWSS has eliminated the need for manual paperwork, reducing administrative burdens and increasing overall efficiency.
Digitising the works supervision process helps to enable streamlined project management, saving time and resources. This ensures that all stakeholders, from project managers to site supervisors and contractors, have real-time access to the most up-to-date information, enabling better coordination and decision-making.
