In response to concerns from the public and the construction industry on the control of construction noise, EPD commenced a consultancy study in February 2017 to study the noise arising from various construction activities including renovation at domestic premises, and to explore possible options in addressing the concerns. This consultancy study would collect views on construction noise from the public and the construction sector, and conduct a feasibility study of different quiet construction technologies and management practices to review possible noise control options for tackling construction noise.
The consultancy study also includes a public survey which will be carried out in February 2018 and last for around 12 weeks, to collect public views on construction noise. Before conducting the survey visits, EPD will notify each household to be interviewed of the time of the visit and provide contact information for making enquiries.
