Hello Hong Kong forumers.
I'm very interested in public housing being a housing person myself and would like to get educated.
Am vaguely familiar with the system in HK with regards to apartment blocks. Are these developed by the HK Housing Authority per se or do they just direct private developers to do these. I do know those near the airport are very tall , what is the standard height for these things nowadays, 40 50 60 stories more?
Do you know what sort of budgets they use to build these things?
I know in HK they use a lot of prefab on top of in situ cores, I've seen some pics but am curious what sort of tenchinques are employed to lower cost.
What sort of price do they end up selling these things anyway. I'm more concerned with the mass housing variety not the premier or executive one . The one built for the everyday man.
Do they deliver the units finished? If so what sort. Primary coat interior or top coated already, flooring (vinyl, ceramic, wood , composite). Are the partitions per unit and whithin the unit using a drywall or is it CHB or precast?
Tip of the ice berg for me but would appreciate some light tks?I've similar post like this in the Singapore board.
