Background

The planning and execution of building rehabilitation often involves the appointment of various service providers (e.g. Building Professionals / Registered Contractor / other relevant professionals) to ensure compliance with legal requirement and the provision of required services.

 

Based on URA’s previous experience in building rehabilitation, a quality service provider is largely conducive to a building rehabilitation project with systematic and effective planning and implementation. Unfortunately, building owners/OCs often relayed that some of the existing service providers varied greatly in terms of service quality or quality of works carried out. The source of information or reference materials available in the market are often incomprehensive, as a result building owners/OCs often encounter difficulties in identifying the appropriate service providers.


In view of the above, the Building Rehabilitation Platform (“the Platform”) has launched the Building Rehabilitation Company Registration Scheme (“BRCRS”)  with the following objectives:

 

  • To establish a one-stop information platform that building owners can use to search for service providers;
  • To assess service providers’ project management mechanisms and systems for performing building rehabilitation works;
  • To encourage service providers to keep improving their service; and
  • To promote a standard of good practice to service providers.

 

Type of Registration

BRCRS will accept application from service providers under the following categories:

 

  • Authorized Persons; 
  • Registered Inspectors; 
  • Registered General Building Contractors; 
  • Registered Minor Works Contractors (Class I) ; and
  • Registered Fire Service Installation Contractors (Class 1 & 2). 

 

Application Period

The official application for all categories is open all year-round.

 

Service providers can visit the website of the scheme at https://brcrs.brplatform.org.hk/ for more details, and apply through the "Building Rehabilitation Company Registration Scheme" online application system.
