Building Surveying

Opulence's in-house Authorised Person (AP) team has solid experience in statutory submissions to government departments such as the Buildings Department (BD) and Housing Department (HD), for many kinds of buildings and associated works.

Our Authorised Person(s) act as statutory co-ordinator: preparing and lodging statutory submissions, carrying out mandatory supervision, liaising with the Building Authority and relevant departments, and ensuring compliance with the Buildings Ordinance and allied regulations.

Opulence's professional inspection teams conduct detailed condition surveys to assess property condition and prepare survey reports — giving owners a realistic assessment of the current condition of the property and highlighting defective areas that require immediate attention.

We take responsibility for planning, programming, coordinating, organising and arranging access for the survey and required tests. The report records any non-compliance items, irregularities and defects found — with photos and defect mapping, probable causes of damage, and recommended remedial solutions, materials and repair methods.

Opulence is also experienced in Building Safety Inspection (BSI) for buildings and structures such as hospitals, police and fire stations and banks — identifying existing high-risk and typical defects to building elements and recommending urgent remedial measures to remove or mitigate potential risk to occupants and the public.

Opulence provides a full spectrum of activities, coordination and processes that turn ideas and plans into the physical reality of property and land development — advising on and maximising the development potential of a property or site.

As a business model, this covers property rehabilitation and maintenance, property renovation, tender bids for government land, and property revitalisation — designed to create maximum benefit and profit for clients.

Opulence deploys building professionals, specialists and Authorised Persons to carry out fire safety improvement works and to prepare statutory submissions for the associated building works and fire-safety construction measures — to the Buildings Department (BD) and Fire Services Department (FSD) respectively. Site supervision is provided on request, and the Fire Safety Direction / Fire Safety Improvement Direction is ultimately discharged.

Opulence holds the Small Unmanned Aircraft Advanced Operation Permission from the Civil Aviation Department (CAD), covering most SUA operations in Hong Kong except Restricted Flying Zones (RFZ), under the Small Unmanned Aircraft Order (Cap. 448G).

All SUA operations are carried out by experienced registered remote pilots holding the Advanced Rating, supported by Visual Observers and ground crew, using our own registered and labelled SUAs.

We prepare all supporting documents for SUA operations — including the operations manual, flight plan and risk assessment — and conduct building surveys by SUA for inaccessible locations such as concealed roofs, canopies, fins, pitched roofs and metal roofs of spectator stands.

On completion, an aerial survey report — covering aerial videos and images, defect summary and rectification recommendations — is prepared by our experienced inspectors and endorsed by a Building Professional.
