FUTURE PLANS
One of the Group strategy is to cater the specific need of it clients, including the Government, through strengthening the Group's technical know-how.
Although the Group has, in the past, gained extensive experience from projects that vary in nature, a large portion of its revenue was generated from building construction. As such, the group plans to increase it participation in site formation, foundation, maintenance and fitting-out projects.
Instead of shifting its resource from one business segment to another, the Group will expand the scope of its construction services provided. In view of the growing offer of design and build contract, which requires the main contractor to provide one-stop construction services, from inception to completion, based on the clients' requirement and budget, the Group will strengthen its design team that comprises architects, structural engineers, building services engineers and quantity surveyor, so as to capture such opportunities.
Since the inception of the Group, it has been focusing to establish itself in the Hong Kong construction industry. Taking into account the tremendous market size and growth potential, the Group plans to identify appropriate joint venture partner in the PRC to explore development opportunities.
Leveraging on the group's business relationship in the construction industry, the Directors intend to further expand its business into the property development segment, which is an integral part of the construction industry, by investing in local existing properties with value appreciation potential after renovation.
