Pata Chan of Kwaihinian in Hong Kong joins us to talk about construction in Hong Kong. He starts off by sharing how he got into the industry and quickly shatters the belief around bamboo scaffolding. We then get into the major differences before construction in North America versus Hong Kong: variation orders, the size of projects, the materials and techniques used, the trades themselves, and the shocking facts about pricing, timelines and permits. Pata also tells us about the interesting way he dealt with acoustics in his favourite project, and his issue with the worldwide gripe, Pinterest clients. Learn all about the international construction industry on this episode of The Construction Life Podcast.
