| Project | Hong Kong Temple for Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints |
| Description | This is a project to build a new Temple for Hong Kong, the 43rd Temple in the world. It was also the first Temple with a high-rise design to suit Hong Kong’s congested landscape. As a building dedicated to God, the Church demanded the highest standard of excellence and perfection. It is still the most exclusive and expensive building in Hong Kong. M&P was chosen as the M&E consultant for this project. The project won HKIA’s design award in 1996. |
| Highlight | Selection of Local Consultants
The Church was most serious about the Temple’s design and quality; and a team comprising Chief Architect / Chief Engineer/ Project Manager were sent from their US headquarters to Hong Kong to select the local consultants. In the first week, the team interviewed the large International consultants, and none was successful. M&P was among a list of local consultants scheduled for the second week. (The team came to Hong Kong with a view that in Asia, only Japan could reach the Temple’s M&E standards, and so was not optimistic about the second week.) During M&P’s interview, we explained our expertise in Combined Services Co-ordination Design and answered two questions on program control and cost control. Without further ado, M&P was engaged, and before we had the chance to indicate our consultancy fee. |
