FOREWORD

Build4Asia has grown with the local construction sector for close to 40 years and is one of Hong Kong’s longest running trade fairs. PRC Magazine’s relationship with this crucial building industry exhibition began in 2008 and has flourished ever since. Build4Asia Awards was established in 2020. This year marks the second edition.

Build4Asia Awards 2022 received support from all corners of our industry, confirming the importance of Build4Asia as one of construction’s premier events. As Publisher and Co-organiser of these Awards, established in the early days of the pandemic we are now finally moving away from, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all the many organisations that have entered the competition this year.

I extend my personal thanks and gratitude to the members of the Build4Asia Awards Jury for their time and for joining the organisers in recognising Asia’s best, under the theme “Live Green, Build Smart, Be Recognised!”

I would like to express my appreciation to the organiser responsible for the successful staging of Build4Asia, Informa Markets, for their continuing support and patience over the last three years during an unprecedented period of major market uncertainty. We stand ready to take our partnership to even greater heights in the years ahead.
