Details

According to the latest research from the Construction Industry Council (CIC) in 2023, the Hong Kong annual contract amount of the Repair, Maintenance, Alteration and Addition sector (RMAA) is HK$93.1 billion, which constitutes 34.3% of the total annual amount of the entire construction industry. Other than the alteration and addition works that require formal applications, the Minor Works Contractor can assist building owners to complete 187 designated exempted building works items across FOUR categories and all other common renovation works.

Minor Works is NOT minor. After the continuous refinements to the Minor Works Control System (MWCS), there are around 10,000 company registrations for ALL THREE classes of minor works and more than 7,000 individual registrations for class III minor works.
