dRofus – in conjunction with local HK agent Forida - recently completed the process of approving its software for listing on the Hong Kong Construction Industry Council (CIC) Scheme known as the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF).
The Construction Industry Council (CIC) is the peak construction industry body in Hong Kong and aims to forge consensus and drive term innovation led strategy in the local construction industry.
As a key component of this the CIC continues to develop itself as a Centre of Excellence for Building Information Modelling (BIM), with the aim of market transformation and promotion of cross-discipline collaboration and wider adoption of BIM.
At the centre of this is ongoing BIM-related activity is the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF). This has been established to encourage wider adoption of innovative constructive methods and new technologies in the construction industry with a view to promoting productivity, uplifting built quality, improving site safety and enhancing environmental performance.
The CITF role is to encourage the construction industry to use new and proven technologies developed within or outside Hong Kong and has a total of HK$1 billion funding.
