HONG KONG MARKET OVERVIEW Affordability is high on the agenda for the Hong Kong government. The need to adopt alternative construction methods to help construction thrive, like prefabrication initiatives, is likely to shape the market in the coming months The latest Quarterly Construction Cost (QCC) review comes at an interesting time and aligns with the recent policy address from Hong Kong s Chief Executive. The progressive approach hints at using the fiscal reserve as a means to provide an economic stimulus and can be expected to challenge the core issues surrounding Hong Kong s construction market rising costs, low adoption of technology and a labour shortage. Demand for new private sector projects has remained high with a 12-month average of commenced private projects close to reaching a decade high. In comparison, the public sector is experiencing a slowing of consent rates on new projects without a strong pipeline of projects to help provide short-term security. However, the suggested direction of the Chief Executive s policy address around public spending, investment in new flats and unlocking land combined with general economic stability, provides a level of confidence that 2018 could witness an increase in public project consent and start rates.

1MARKET ANALYSIS HONG KONG OUTLOOK This quarter has seen the Hong Kong construction market stabilize at peak levels of activity with projects being affected by resourcing challenges such as a shortage of labour and high material costs. Operating at this level is especially difficult for the industry, as skilled operatives are in short supply and as such we are seeing an increased level of competition and could witness a further rise in the cost of skilled labour. The Hong Kong economy has experienced continued growth in its GDP since 2010 that has created market stability. This resilience is expected to encourage public spending and generate investor sentiment around private property purchasing. The combination of an increase in the GDP, improved performance in the retail and tourism sector, and continued low inflation rates could suggest the high rate of commenced private sector projects will remain strong throughout the coming quarters. CONSTRUCTION COSTS There has been a mild rise in the cost of steel throughout 2017 which has continued into the third quarter. The other core materials such as cement, diesel and basic architectural products still remain stable. Large infrastructure projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai- Macao bridge are close to completion with a shortage of public projects due to start. This flattening in the commencement of public projects may have an impact on certain trades such as concretors, steel benders and general infrastructure teams, which will create an imbalance in supply and demand. SUPPLY AND DEMAND New works in the private sector represents about 30% of the current overall activity in Hong Kong. This demonstrates the market is currently dependent on private investment projects and is underpinned by private sector floor area commenced rates which are at peak levels. LABOUR The general cost of labour and material were both stable throughout the third quarter of 2017 and are expected to remain stable in the coming quarters, providing confidence around project pricing and profitability. The impact of cost certainty, combined with a strong economic performance and consumer confidence is expected to motivate private sector investment to meet the market demand. Importantly, the Tender Price Index (TPI) has seen a (-) 0.55 % decrease with a fall of up to 2% expected for the whole of 2017, with 2018 expecting to fall by a further 1-2%. MAINLAND CHINA OUTLOOK The gross value of construction work performed in Mainland China in the first half of 2017 increased by 10.8% year-onyear according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). This happened despite the property sales in major cities witnessing a decline to a three-year low and also a reduction in the number of commercial developments. Tightened policy on mortgage approvals has impacted the overall amount of sales and has curbed real estate prices. However, the Government launched a new policy this year to boost the rental housing supply with the aim to provide a long-term solution for an overheated real estate market. Pilot programs in 13 major cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, are going to build rental housing on rural land with a completion date expected towards the end of 2021. As a result, land area purchased by the real estate development enterprises totaled 124.10 million square meters, creating a growth of 11.1% year-on-year. Major construction material prices have continued to rise throughout the first 3 quarters of 2017 since the rebound in the fourth quarter of 2016. The accumulated price increases are around 40% in re-bars, 20% in concrete and 15% in copper products. Labour wages have also increased by 3.5%. Market tender price has only climbed moderately as the competition in the construction market is still strong. 4

To give an illustration of the price trend over time, Arcadis applies a hypothetical calculation to derive the data table and chart as above, basing on the following understanding and assumptions: 1. Only indices from 1st Quarter 2003 and onwards are published. 2. For 2002 and before, indices were only published annually. This annual index indicates that the average fluctuation of 2002 was moderate. Arcadis own in-house data further substantiates that the construction costs in 2002 were rather stable throughout the year. 3. Changes between quarters in 2002 are assumed to be evenly distributed throughout the year. This establishes a notional relationship between the four quarters in 2002 and can be compared with the published data for 2003 to find their notional quarter-on-quarter changes. 4. For comparison purposes, 4th Quarter 2002 is referred to as base and the base index as 100. 6

4 TENDER PRICE INDEX HONG KONG Notes: 1. [*] denotes forecast figures. 2. Both BWTPI (ArchSD) and Arcadis TPI measure the trend of general builder s works only. Special works and Mechanical and Electrical Services would have to be considered separately. 3. All indices were published quarterly. For reference purpose, only indices from 1st quarter of 1998 and onwards are given in detail, whereas indices between year 1970 to1997 are shown with their 4th Quarter figures.
