Para 8 of your letter under reference requested information on

how this project will be managed on the ground in Hong Kong from

our position as client. Our Project Manager, Swire Properties

Projects Ltd, are a well established and experienced project

management company based in Hong Kong. They have been given

delegated authority for the majority of the PM activities indicated

in Annex 3 of PCPU Guidance 33. Swire are obliged to report

regularly on progress and to anticipate and notify the Project

Sponsor, at an early date, of any possible difficulties with

recommendations for any necessary remedial action to rectify the

W situation. At present we have an effective working relationship

with Swire: we frequently have daily contact via the telephone or

fax and I have also visited Hong Kong for discussions with them and

the Design team when needs have arisen. I anticipate that these

practices will continue throughout the project. The OED

professional advisory team provide me with support and advice as

necessary. There will be a need for continual site supervision
