HKIS – Quantity Surveying Division Conference 2025
“Navigating ‘3Cs Role in QS’ in the New Era: Cost Management, Chance and Collaboration”
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 September 2025 – The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) Quantity Surveying Division hosted the HKIS Quantity Surveying Division Conference 2025 (the Conference) today at the CIC-Zero Carbon Park.
This year’s theme, “Navigating ‘3Cs Role in QS’ in the New Era: Cost Management, Chance and Collaboration”, reflects the evolving role of Quantity Surveyors during a time of economic restructuring.
The Conference brought together around 250 participants both in person and online, including government officials, industry leaders, professionals, academics, and young practitioners. Mr. David LAM Chi Man, JP, Under Secretary for Development of the HKSAR Government, attended as the Guest of Honour and delivered a keynote speech.
Quantity Surveyors are trained construction cost consultants with expertise in costs, values, finance, contracts, and legal matters related to the built environment. In today’s rapidly changing market, the roles of Quantity Surveyors have become increasingly vital, extending well beyond cost estimation. Through collaboration and technology adoption, Quantity Surveyors act as trusted advisors who safeguard financial viability, enhance efficiency, and unlock value in project delivery.
Mr. David LAM Chi Man, JP, Under Secretary for Development of the HKSAR Government, said in his keynote speech that the conference, covering issues such as construction cost management, opportunities brought by new mega development and new technologies as well as the power of collaborative contracting, underscored the evolving role of quantity surveyors from traditional cost controllers to innovators, facilitators and collaborators, in shaping the future of the industry. The Government is proactively increasing the investment in public works projects. Mr Lam encouraged quantity surveyors to continue upskilling, embracing new tools, and seizing opportunities to lead the industry forward.
Featuring 18 distinguished speakers from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore and Australia, the Conference aimed to stimulate thought-provoking discussions, providing participants not only technical knowledge but also broader perspectives on how Quantity Surveyors can adapt to global trends and take the lead in meeting local needs.
Sr Robin LEUNG Chi Tim, President of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, noted in his welcome speech, “This year’s theme reflects the dynamic evolution of our profession. Quantity Surveyors today transcend cost management roles; they are already well acquainted with emerging opportunities and actively foster collaboration across sectors. In this era of economic restructuring, their specialised knowledge and expertise are indispensable in driving Hong Kong’s development into a resilient and sustainable city.”
Sr Tim NGAI Chi Hang, Chairman of the HKIS Quantity Surveying Division, said: “Amid economic restructuring, Quantity Surveyors are central to safeguarding cost management while creating value and resilience in projects. Today’s conference serves as both a platform for professional advancement and a reminder of the meaningful impact our profession makes on the built environment. QSD will continue to serve our members by promoting professional excellence and fostering innovation.”
Sr Mandy NG Man Yan, Organising Committee Chair of the Conference stated in her closing remarks, “Today’s programme showcased the many ways Quantity Surveyors can lead in a time of economic restructuring — from AI-driven cost management to opportunities in the Northern Metropolis and collaborative contracting. The discussions offered not only technical insights but also broader inspiration on how our profession can adapt, innovate, and thrive in the new era.”

SIM60 WILL Award: Elevating Employability Through Work-Integrated Learning
Work-Integrated Learning Matters
Work-Integrated Learning bridges the gap between classroom theory and practical application. By immersing students in authentic work environments, internships cultivate essential skills beyond technical knowledge, including cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, affective traits like emotional intelligence, and psychomotor skills that enhance hands-on performance. Graduates who master these dimensions stand out as versatile professionals ready to contribute from day one, shaping leaders of the future who can drive innovation and growth.
The SIM60 WILL Award: Setting Graduates Apart
The SIM60 WILL Award is more than a recognition, it is a testament to resilience and excellence. Students who complete internships successfully and demonstrate perseverance in challenging situations are honoured for their commitment to growth. This award signals to employers that recipients are not only academically competent but also workplace-ready, equipped with the adaptability and grit that modern industries demand. It reinforces SIM’s mission to foster sustainable employment by preparing graduates for long-term career success.
Success Stories That Inspire
Recipients of the SIM60 WILL Award come from varied academic and personal backgrounds, yet many share a common pathway: leveraging work-integrated learning experiences to strengthen their career readiness. Several award recipients have used internships to apply classroom knowledge to real business environments, developing data dashboards, automating processes, supporting cybersecurity initiatives, and contributing to enterprise-level digital projects.
For some, these internships have served as stepping stones to contract or full-time roles in areas such as business analysis, project management and data operations. Others have progressed to subsequent placements in high growth sectors, where exposure to real world challenges has helped refine their technical skills and broaden their understanding of industry expectations.
These experiences reflect SIM’s commitment in shaping leaders of the future and fostering Sustainable Employment through Work-Integrated Learning, demonstrating how structured internships, supported by SIM’s guidance and reinforced through the WILL Award, equip learners with practical competencies and professional confidence to navigate evolving career landscapes.
Impact on Employability
Internship experience is a proven differentiator in hiring decisions. According to global employability studies, candidates with practical exposure are significantly more likely to secure roles and advance in their careers. The SIM60 WILL Award amplifies this advantage by validating the quality of a student’s internship performance. For employers, it serves as a trusted benchmark of talent. For graduates, it opens doors to opportunities that might otherwise remain out of reach, enhancing employability in a rapidly evolving economy.
Key Takeaways
The SIM60 WILL Award reflects SIM’s ongoing efforts to integrate work experience into education, supporting students in building practical skills that complement academic learning. By recognizing internship excellence, the award highlights the importance of resilience and adaptability in preparing graduates for the evolving job market.
