Bravo! The Best Presentation Award goes to a team of our students in ‘The Paul Y. Engineering BIM Competition 2016 Design A Paul Y. Innovation Tower on a 70-shaped Site. The team,namely ‘Hope Builder’ was made of Chen Jueqi from our Surveying Programme and Lau Ka Yi, Jenny Wong, Ceci Wong and Wu Pei from our Building Engineering and Management Programme.

In celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Paul. Y. Engineering, the Competition encouraged participating students to design a BIM model of a Paul Y. Innovation Tower set on a 70-shaped site which their architectural skills and BIM knowledge were the major factors in the evaluation of a panel of judges. It was open to all full-time students from any discipline in post-secondary institutions in Hong Kong.

Jueqi of Hope Builder says, “We embarked on this challenging yet exciting project in last summer break.And the Competition enabled us to explore the Building Information Modelling (BIM) more fully and be more prepared for our future careers.”

Jueqi adds, “Since all of us had the full-time internship in the daytime during the summer break, we had to work at the project nearly every evening. Facing the time constraints and the technical issues, we had a great deal of painstaking research and sought advice from Prof. Heng Li, Dr Patrick Fong and Dr. Huang Ting of the Department as well as Mr. Alex Choy and Mr. Eric Tsang Chi Lung from Industry Centre.Our sincere gratitude goes to all of them.”

The outstanding features including high practicability and sustainability as well as well-justified budget characterized their model.They were very honoured that they forwarded to the final round, the Presentation Workshop and got the Award.

The team’s perseverance, creativity and hard work overcame a series of difficulties throughout the Competition over a couple of months. Their great efforts were eventually awarded with the success that not only gave the team every confidence to take on new challenges a head but also brought a blaze of inspirations to other students. Good Job!
