VHBuild upgrades building
maintenance efficiency
In the past, large real estate
developers and government bodies usually provided building
maintenance for their own properties. However, they have
been starting to outsource these projects to contractors
in recent years for better cost efficiency, which made building
maintenance becomes an attractive business. The market potential
of building maintenance is tremendous as from now on till
2004, the Housing Authority will outsource the maintenance
of 398,000 public housing units, which accounts two third
of all public housing units, to private companies. Therefore,
a lot of companies are working hard in getting more businesses
in this fast growing market. The critical factor for winning
new business depends on the company's ability to achieve
and maintain high standard of operation and cost efficiency.
It is clear that the application of information technology
can enhance the productivity and competitiveness of a company.
