4. A DEMONSTRATIVE CASE UNDER
PREFABRICATION CONSTRUCTION
This section demonstrates a case from prefabrication
construction which has been widely adopted by the HongKong Housing Authority (HKHA) for its public projects. As
a major construction client in housing development, HKHA
plays a very active and important role in public housing
development, especially on quality control, programme
monitoring and safety management from the project inception
stage up until the substantial completion of the project. In the
prefabrication construction, logistics is very critical since the
prefab components are produced in Pearl River Delta (PRD)
in Guangdong and then moved by trucks to the assembly sites
in Hong Kong. Thus, the focus of the demonstrative case will
be placed upon three phases: prefabrication production,
cross-border logistics, and on-site assembly.
