Building Affairs Expert Determination Centre (Pilot Scheme) 

 

Building Affairs Expert Determination Centre ("BAEDC") intends to be a platform to promote the use of expert determination, being an additional dispute resolution system, in respect of building related technical issues or disputes, including but not limited to water seepage, decoration or fitting out works, repair and maintenance works for existing buildings (but excluding disputes on the handover status of new flats or commercial units) and liability of unauthorized building works*.

Such expert determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive in relation to the building related technical issues or disputes between the parties to the disputes and binding on the parties.

Accordingly, upon receiving an application for the nomination of expert in this regard, BAEDC will nominate an expert from the relevant area under its List of Experts who shall enter into a separate engagement agreement with the parties and determine the building related technical issues or disputes.
