GENERAL

5.01 The Director of Public Works is ex officio the Building Authority and the functions and duties imposed upon him, which arise from the Buildings Ordinance and other laws of Hong Kong, are for the most part delegated to the Buildings Ordinance Office. These functions are principally the control of all building and street works on private land, with the special category of dangerous buildings receiving intensive surveillance. The co-ordination of these and numerous other associated functions has produced a hierarchical structure adapted to the continuous processing of large numbers of plans and documents and the frequent inspection of buildings. This structure is represented diagrammatically on page 51 from which it will be seen that there are three general divisions having identical duties, each being responsible for one area, covering Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories respectively, whilst a specialist division deals mainly with the difficult question of dangerous buildings.

5.02 The Office was represented by senior staff on the following committees or boards:

Committee Representative(s) Authorized Architects Examination Board Principal Government Building Surveyor Authorized Architects Registration Committee Principal Government Building Surveyor P.W.D./Authorized Architects Liaison Group Principal Government Building Surveyor (Chairman) Government Building Surveyor (Secretary) Building Construction and Civil Engineering Metrication Sub-committee, and P.W.D.
