Chun Wo Construction and Engineering Co. sweeps top honours at Real Estate Asia Built Environment Awards 2025

These technologies helped make the company’s projects safer, efficient, and sustainable.

Construction and property development business Chun Wo Construction and Engineering Co., Ltd has won top prizes at the recent Real Estate Asia Built Environment Awards 2025.

The company was declared winner of the Transportation Infrastructure Project of the Year - Hong Kong and Innovation in Sustainable Materials of the Year - Hong Kong categories. A subsidiary of Asia Allied Infrastructure, Chun Wo is deeply rooted in Hong Kong, having been established in the territory for more than 55 years.

One of its winning projects entailed the construction of the two-lane Fanling Bypass Eastern Section, measuring two kilometres. This section spans from Shek Wu San Tsuen North to Lung Yeuk Tau, which includes viaduct, at-grade road, and underpass sections.

The company also constructed the Lung Yeuk Tau Interchange, connecting the Fanling Bypass Eastern Section with the existing Sha Tau Kok Road-Lung Yeuk Tau. A footbridge across Ng Tung River and a combined cycle track and footbridge over the Lung Yeuk Tau Interchange.

A sewage pumping station was built adjacent to the Lung Yeuk Tau Interchange, whilst the On Lok Mun Street Playground, public toilet, and refuse collection point near the Lung Yeuk Tau Interchange were improved.

In the North District, the company also made road junction improvements and conducted associated works such as ground investigation, geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring, traffic control and surveillance system installation, and landscaping.

A modern school building

In Kwun Tong, Chun Wo built a six-story, 30-classroom primary school along Anderson Road using the modular integrated construction (MiC) method, which uses prefabricated building components off-site in a controlled environment to significantly reduce construction time and costs, and expedite occupancy.

According to Chun Wo, the quality and precision of the building components are improved as they are manufactured under stringent factory conditions, minimising on-site construction errors and rework. MiC also reduces material waste and energy consumption, whilst lessening site disruptions and noise pollution, important factors in promoting sustainability.

Additionally, the MiC approach enhances worker safety by reducing the need for on-site labour in potentially hazardous conditions. In the event that modifications and expansions to the building are needed in the future, the MiC method can provide design flexibility and convenience.

Aside from the classrooms, the project also included six special rooms, four small group teaching rooms, a guidance activity room, two interview rooms, a staff room and a staff common room, a student activity centre, a conference room, a library, an assembly hall, multi-purpose areas, a basketball court, a jogging track, and a bridge leading to On Sau Road. Ancillary facilities include foundations, water drainage systems, building service works, amongst others.

The advantages of using virtual reality

For both projects, Chun Wo used virtual reality (VR) simulation before construction started, enabling project stakeholders to view the project in a safe environment.

Using VR, the company was able to simulate the construction process to support team members’ decision-making and communication, and to give them a clear understanding of the project scope and sequence. The technology was also used to train the construction workers and familiarise them with the site layout and tasks, improving efficiency and safety once the on-site work began.
