Essentials for Building Management
Building Management has evolved to a branch of its own with various interfaces with laws. Building Management Ordinance (Cap. 344) provides a legal framework for property owners to form owners' corporations (OC) to manage their own buildings. The Ordinance was substantially revamped in 1993 and retitled as the Building Management Ordinance (BMO) to facilitate the incorporation of owners and to provide them with specific powers and responsibilities regarding management of the common parts of the buildings.
