Routine Seminars for Clients
セミナー開催の様子
今回はわれわれの日頃の地味な活動をご紹介します。普段、設計や管理会社、施工店をはじめとして、時には住宅管理組合の住民の方々にまで、われわれは材料のご紹介のためにセミナーや勉強会を開催しています。住民の方々の会議では、彼らの仕事に障りがないように夜間(だいたい夜の8時ころから始まり、10時や11時に終了することもあります)や土曜休日に開かれます。
もちろん新しい材料の紹介や採用される予定のシステムの説明がメインとなりますが、毎回喧々諤々活発な議論がなされます。香港の方々は材料に対する選定眼が超えており、設計であれば世界各国の材料との比較、材料の技術的な精査を求められますし、管理会社であれば単に塗料だけでなく環境やメンテに関わるご質問、住民説明会でも中には建築に携わっている方がいらっしゃることもあり、知的で面白い説明会に発展することもしばしばです。
建物の資産価値が高い香港だからこそ、良い材料を用いてその資産価値を向上維持させようと真剣になるのです。。
In
the building and construction field, we strive to become professionally
well-rounded. Therefore, we aim to provide services that are all inclusive to
our clients. Hosting seminars and managing Q&A sessions have become one of
our routine activities. These presentations are tailored for our clients, which
include architects, consultants, management companies, incorporated owners
(I.O.) and more. Often, these seminars will take place over the weekends or
during the night on weekdays, whenever it is most convenient to our clients.
Sometimes, the seminars and meetings will start at 8:00 PM and end at around
10:00 PM or even 11:00 PM. To ensure each renovation or development will go off
without a hitch, our clients and the incorporated owners have found themselves
fully committed in the projects, despite having to meet up at late hours.
The
primary topics in discussion would usually be the introduction of our new paint
products or systems that are being applied onto clients’ properties. With a
good habit of always retaining stringent measures, clients in Hong Kong will
bring up questions of all sort, covering all aspects of the construction
industry. Some questions are as technical as the formula and the function of
our new paint systems, comparing between paint products from different
countries, environmental concerns, and building paint maintenance. For certain
projects, some I.O members actually have extensive past experiences in the
building industry. Hence, they may ask keen questions from a professional
viewpoint, and we find that it stimulates our academic interest, with new hints
dawning on us for further cultivation of our paint products.
The
reasons why our clients are having growing concerns for the construction works
is not only because of the credibility of the specified materials, but also that
the property value in Hong Kong is extremely high, and so they must learn more about
the project scope in order to protect their important assets. As a paint supplier,
we are more than happy to give our finest efforts to assist in the projects.
Thus, hosting seminars and attending I.O meetings are the least we could offer.
