HONG KONG, March 30, 2026 – The Ngau Tau Kok Choi Hing Road Transitional Housing project, a Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) project supplied and constructed by AluHouse, has been honored with the “Outstanding MiC Project (Completed)” award at the MiC/MiMEP Achievement Awards 2025. The presentation ceremony, hosted by the Construction Industry Council (CIC), was held today in Hong Kong.

The award aims to recognize excellence in the successful application of Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) and Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP) in both design and construction. The Choi Hing Road Project earned high praise from the judging panel for its innovative module reuse technology, its application of MiC in a high-rise steel structure, and its significant contribution to addressing Hong Kong’s housing needs.

The Choi Hing Road Project stands as a model of collaborative construction, resulting from a strong partnership between the project owner, The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon; the main contractor, Wan Li Construction Co., Ltd.; and the MiC module supplier, AluHouse. Together, they have delivered one of Hong Kong’s most exemplary transitional housing projects.

Completed in 2024, the project is currently the tallest transitional housing development in Hong Kong. The entire building is assembled from 371 steel MiC modules, which form 329 meticulously planned residential units, providing comfortable homes for 774 grassroots residents.

In a pioneering achievement, the project integrates reused modules with new ones. The project team successfully relocated 108 MiC modules from a previous transitional housing project on Sung Wong Toi Road and precisely integrated them with 263 newly constructed modules. This serves as one of Hong Kong’s most successful cases of module reuse, demonstrating that MiC buildings can be dismantled, transported, and reassembled to meet evolving housing demands—a practice of great significance for the circular economy and sustainable urban development.

According to the evaluation criteria published by the Construction Industry Council (CIC), the “Outstanding MiC Project (Completed)” category assesses projects across multiple dimensions, including client satisfaction, supply chain management, project strategy and planning, timely delivery, safety management, sustainability, and innovative applications. The Choi Hing Road Project demonstrated outstanding performance in all these areas, fully showcasing the project team’s comprehensive capabilities in supply chain integration, project execution, safety management, and technological innovation. This award is a powerful endorsement from an authoritative industry body, affirming AluHouse’s position as a reliable partner for high-rise modular projects.

As the module manufacturer, AluHouse not only ensured high standards of factory prefabrication but also achieved precise logistics and on-time delivery within a tight schedule, coordinating seamlessly with the main contractor’s on-site installation progress. To meet the stringent structural requirements of high-rise residential buildings, the project pioneered the use of high-quality Q690 high-strength steel—a first for transitional housing in Hong Kong. This advanced material effectively reduces the self-weight of the MiC modules, lowers the overall building weight and the number of foundation piles required, decreases the project’s carbon footprint, and ensures structural integrity and safety.

Building on the success of the Choi Hing Road Project, AluHouse is now applying similar strategies to subsequent high-rise MiC projects, including a 22-storey Light Public Housing project, as well as international projects in the United States, Australia, and the Middle East.

“As the module supplier for this project, we worked in close collaboration with the main contractor, Wan Li Construction, and the project owner, The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon, to bring this vision to reality,” said Paul, Director of AluHouse. “This award is a testament not only to our technical capabilities but also to our unwavering commitment to collaboration, safety, and sustainability.”
