CABE Hong Kong Chapter Achieves PMSA Recognised Professional Body Status

This recognition confirms that CABE's Fellow Chartered Building Engineer (FCABE), Member Chartered Building Engineer (C.Build E MCABE) and Chartered Member (MCABE) membership grades meet the professional qualification requirements for the PMSA's Property Management Practitioner (Tier 1) Licence.

The recognition highlights the important role building engineers play in supporting building safety, maintenance, sustainability, compliance and asset performance throughout the lifecycle of buildings.

Dr. James WONG, Chairperson of the PMSA said, “The PMSA welcomes the CABE Hong Kong Chapter becoming a PMSA RPB. Building engineering and PM services are closely connected throughout the life cycle of a building. Areas ranging from building planning, architectural design and fire safety to facilities repair and maintenance, risk management and sustainable development are all closely related to daily PM work. As public expectations for building safety, facilities management, energy conservation and carbon reduction, as well as smart PM, continue to rise, the PM industry needs to bring together expertise from different professions, including building engineering, to foster cross-professional collaboration and provide the public with more comprehensive, professional and quality PM services.”

Commenting on the achievement Richard Harral, CABE Chief Executive said:

"We are delighted that the CABE Hong Kong Chapter has been recognised by the PMSA as a Recognised Professional Body. This recognition highlights the important contribution that building engineers make to the effective management and long-term performance of the built environment.

“It also provides greater opportunities for our members in Hong Kong to apply their professional expertise within the property management profession and support the delivery of safe, sustainable and well-managed built assets.”

“As a globally recognised professional body, CABE is committed to supporting the development of competent professionals who can help meet the evolving challenges of building safety, sustainability and asset performance.”

Kyran Sze, Chairman of the CABE Hong Kong Chapter, said "This recognition represents an important milestone for CABE in Hong Kong. It acknowledges the relevance of building engineering expertise to the property management profession and reinforces the value that CABE members bring to building owners, occupiers, employers and communities. We look forward to working alongside PMSA and fellow professional bodies to support professional development, encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and contribute to the continued advancement of Hong Kong's built environment sector."

The CABE Hong Kong Chapter becomes the 13th organisation to be admitted to the PMSA's list of Recognised Professional Bodies, reinforcing the contribution of building engineering professionals to Hong Kong's property management industry.

As CABE continues to expand its presence across Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area and the wider Asia-Pacific region, the Association remains committed to supporting professionals, employers and stakeholders through internationally recognised standards, professional qualifications and industry collaboration initiatives.
