(27 June 2018, Hong Kong) – Co-organised by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) and The Hong Kong Association of Property Management Companies (HKAPMC), the Quality Property & Facility Management Award (QPFMA) 2018 is now officially open for nominations. With the theme “Smart Buildings, Smart Management” (樓宇管理智能化,物業管理齊優化), the award presents golden opportunities for learning and observing in the property and facility management sector, and encourages smart city development in Hong Kong.
The QPFMA is a biennial award which aspires to honour and recognise outstanding developments and professionals in the property and facility management industry in Hong Kong. An Award Briefing Session was held successfully with more than 100 attendees on 13 June 2018. During the session, the QPFMA 2018 Organising Committee introduced the overview of the event, and provided detailed explanations of the judging panel and award categories.
QPFMA 2018 introduces a new award category, International Innovative Strategic Management, which is open for local and overseas properties to showcase their innovative strategies in property and facility management.
By combining two award categories from QPFMA 2016, Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) & Public Rental Housing (PRH), and Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) & Private Sector Participation Scheme (PSPS) & Sandwich Class Housing Scheme (SCHS), a new award category has been established, titled Subsidised Housing Property Management to attract more diverse nominations. In addition, the Office Building Management Award under the Non-Residential category has been divided into two awards: Small- & Medium-Scale Office Building and Large-Scale Office Building.
“The QPFMA encourages and inspires industry professionals and companies to employ innovative technologies and creative ideas to improve property and facilities management while upholding the highest professional standards.” said QPFMA 2018 Organising Committee Chairman, Sr Kays K.S. WONG.
“This is the industry’s premier showcase in Hong Kong; 32 companies and professionals were awarded and more than 100 nominations were received at the 2016 event,” said QPFMA 2018 Head Juror, Dr CHEUNG Tin Cheung, JP.” “We anticipate even greater enthusiasm for the 2018 edition, and we are look forward to uniting property and facility management specialists to help promote and advance the industry.”
