The managing director is personally involved in the selection and training of all new workers to strictly ensure the suitability of each worker ie. “the right man for right job” with all the characteristics and skills required of a professional worker.

“The importance of health and safety at work is stressed as a priority to all staff through initial safety briefing prior to joining the company and further developed at the commencement of new jobs.  The company works closely with Health and Safety officers on every site in order to understand the particular risks of each project and they ensure all operatives are aware of the potential risks involved and have the necessary personal safety equipment,” he explains.

“We deploy our own on-site co-ordinator and operation manager to motivate, monitor and review supply to ensure a high standard of professionalism to clients and in doing so, Lingma have consecutively been awarded the title of “best contractor” in safety and “best contractor” in high production over several years. Clients are very satisfied with the reliable, professional and productive supply from Lingma.”

Krishna Rajbhandari, Managing Director of Lingma Construction receives the trophy of excellence at Mediazone’s Most Valuable Services Awards in Hong Kong 2019 awards ceremony on June 13, 2019 in Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel.

Clients Want Reliability

“Recently, many new labour supply companies have come on the market but have failed to manage, administer and pay their workers correctly, as a result, many labour disputes and injury cases have caused these companies to go bust, putting their client in loss and in difficult situations. However, should you choose Lingma, you are guaranteed full satisfaction with professional supply and support which will be delivered with honesty and integrity,” notes Rajbhandari.

The firm has recently opened its E&M (Electrical and Mechanical Branch) and expects to serve all prospective clients and partners in this new field. The company hopes to be awarded some new contracts in the construction of upcoming runway 3, new MTR lines, new Highway Tunnel and reclamation of land and building construction works.
