Overview:

Organizing and undertaking building maintenance often requires engaging a diverse range of service providers to meet legal requirements and deliver necessary support.  However, many property owners and owners' corporations encounter challenges stemming from inconsistent service quality and limited transparency in the market.

Mr Lee of URA will share valuable insights into this expanding sector, emphasizing the importance of identifying and engaging high quality professionals.  The session will also highlight key support services offered by the URA, such as the Building Rehabilitation Company Registration Scheme, which aims to empower industry practitioners and encourage active participation in this sector.
