The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors Awards 2024
- Written by The Express
The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors Awards aims to commend and recognise the exceptional achievements of Hong Kong surveyors and provide a prestigious platform for surveyors to showcase their outstanding work and promote their professional image. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations, the Awards seek to emphasize the crucial role of surveyors in sustainable development, fostering a culture of sustainable practices in the industry and promoting a sustainable future for Hong Kong. The judging criteria also focus on the efforts made by the entries to integrate innovative sustainable practices into the surveying process.
Nine Past Presidents of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors were invited to serve as members of the first screening committee, while the esteemed jury panel was formed by eleven industry leaders. After a rigorous review process of screening, site visits, and jury panel presentations, Airport Authority Hong Kong's The Reclamation of Three Runway System Project at Hong Kong International Airport were selected as the most outstanding project, winning the HKIS Excellence in Surveying Award and the Grand Award in Construction (Infrastructure) Category. The project showcased the surveying team's expertise and innovation in completing a challenging large-scale reclamation.
In addition, the Innovative Surveying Award, the new award category introduced in this year to recognise projects that have enhanced the standard of the industry through the application of innovative technologies, was presented to Sustainability Strategy in Road and Tree Inspection by Advanced Geo-spatial Technology from Highways Department who also won the Grand Award in the Post-occupation Category. The project demonstrated how surveyors used innovative tech to enhance efficiency and precision, reflecting their dedication to innovative practices.
Other Grand Award Winners include Nan Fung Group's AIRSIDE (Planning Category); Sino Group and Chinese Estates Holdings Limited's Kwun Tong Town Centre Project (K7) (Planning Category); Chinachem Group and Urban Renewal Authority's Proposed Composite Development at 28 Tonkin Street (Pre-construction Category); West Kowloon Cultural District Authority's Hong Kong Palace Museum (Construction (Building) Category); Sino Group's One North (Sales & Leasing Category); Architectural Services Department's Maintenance Strategy on ArchSD Maintained Man-made Slope (Post-occupation Category).

About the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors
Established in 1984, The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) is the only surveying professional body incorporated by ordinance in Hong Kong. As of 10 July 2024, the number of members reached 10,867 of which 7,837 were corporate members, 50 were associate members and 2,980 were probationers and students. HKIS work includes setting standards for professional services and performance, establishing codes of ethics, determining requirements for admission as professional surveyors, and encouraging members to upgrade skills through continuing professional development.
The Institute has an important consultative role in government policy making and on issues affecting the profession. We have advised the government on issues such as building safety and unauthorized building works, problems of property management, town planning and development strategies, construction quality, construction costs and housing problems. We have also issued guidance notes on floor area measurement, real estates valuation and land boundary survey, etc.
