The construction industry in Hong Kong builds high-rise residential and office buildings with a variety of building techniques, such as reclamation, design and construction. Construction projects can be divided into three main categories:

  1. Buildings (including residential, commercial, industrial / storage / services);
  2. Structures and facilities (including transportation, other public facilities, environment, sports and recreation); and
  3. Non-construction-site work (including renovation, maintenance and repairs).

The electrical and mechanical maintenance industry covers aircraft maintenance, electrical systems, firefighting, gas fuel, air conditioning and refrigeration, lifts and escalators, plant machinery, water services, telecommunications, railway electrical and mechanical services, ship maintenance, etc. The maintenance and inspection of electrical and mechanical equipment, as well as major infrastructure and building construction projects, require expertise in the mechanical and electrical industries. With the development of society and economy, the public safety awareness has increased, leading to an increased need for professionals in the mechanical and electrical industries.
