Within the highly complex urban/built environment of Hong Kong such as under highly congested working condition, sloppy ground or constructing super high-rise structures, the industry in the recent decades has adopted the most up-to-day and advanced technology to construct. The design of this course is thus aimed to provide a basic understanding and knowledge of all the essential topics that fulfil the contemporary situation. In this course it included the basic construction engineering works such as slope, foundation/sub-structure and other major structural elements of building/super-structure. The other associated areas will also cover some building components and finishes items such as the false ceiling, partitioning and other cladding systems. 

  

In general the functional requirements, design details and construction processes of works for these topics will be illustrated with their inter-relationships amongst design and planning considerations, construction methods and operations, and other on-site control and concerns.
