The Fire Services Department (FSD)’s Married Quarters at Pak Shing Kok, Tseung Kwan O, marked its completion in a ceremony officiated by the Chief Executive, Mrs. Carrie Lam. 

The project is a government pilot to promote the adoption of Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) techniques. The project, built using a total of 3,726 concrete modules, could be the first high-rise building project adopting the MiC method as a concrete construction approach in Hong Kong. It comprises five buildings with 16 to 17 stories each. With eight units on each floor, the quarters will provide 648 three-bedroom units of 50 square meters.

The adoption of MiC reduced the construction time by 30 to 50 percent and reduced construction costs by about 10 percent.
