Welcome

The Provisional Construction Industry Co-ordination Board (PCICB) was established on 28 September 2001 to spearhead industry reforms and to propagate a new culture of change.

The PCICB currently has a chairman and 25 members drawn from major industry stakeholders including construction clients, professionals, academics, consultants, contractors, workers, independent persons and government representatives. [Membership]

Pending formation of the permanent statutory body, the PCICB serves as a focal point to co-ordinate efforts in taking forward the vast change programme recommended by the Construction Industry Review Committee in its report submitted to the Chief Executive in January 2001. It is a pan-industry forum for stakeholders to deliberate and forge consensus on strategic matters as well as to communicate their needs and aspirations to Government. It also functions as a primary channel for Government to seek the industry's feedback on policy issues impacting on local construction. [Terms of reference]

To pursue CIRC recommendations that require a substantial element of industry input or co-ordination, the PCICB has set up six working groups focusing on construction cost and performance indicators, construction site safety and employees' compensation insurance, construction waste, management of subcontracting, manpower training and development, and formation of the statutory industry co-ordination board. Through its working groups, the PCICB has made achievements in various major areas covering the guidelines on subcontracting practice, launching of the voluntary subcontractor registration scheme, compilation of a compendium on cost-reduction measures, co-sponsoring seminars to promote construction research, as well as formulation of a legal framework for the Construction Industry Council. Further information on this is available on the web page for the working groups.
