Manifesto
About
“Magician” stands for creating infinity — turning the impossible into the possible. We are a specialist engineering company that designs and builds facade works.
Our main scope covers glass curtain walls, aluminium doors and windows, automatic doors, shopfronts, glass walls, glass and metal railings, marble cladding, aluminium fins, louvres, canopies, sunshades, metal cladding panels, metal architectural forms, metalwork and steel structures.
From design and manufacture through installation and site management to finishing and maintenance, one company takes the whole facade package: drawings, materials, construction and after-sales all sit inside one responsibility. Clients do not have to shuttle between firms.
Sectors
The work we take on, from world-class standards to luxury residences.
-
World-class standards
Facade systems designed and accepted to the internationally recognised curtain wall standards: structural loads, wind pressure, water tightness and air permeability are checked item by item, and the drawings, calculations and test records can all be reviewed.
-
Hong Kong landmarks
Facade works on landmark buildings in Hong Kong. Form, panel divisions and lighting have to answer the building's own language, and the programme has to account for the public and the surroundings.
-
Commercial towers
Curtain walls, doors, windows and entrance systems for Grade A and office buildings, balancing appearance and daylight with easy future cleaning and repair.
-
Luxury hotels
Hotel facades including balconies, canopies and metal forms. Junctions and surface finish carry a higher standard, so finishing and panel-by-panel inspection are completed before handover.
-
Luxury residences
Curtain walls, aluminium doors and windows and railings for residential projects, focused on water tightness, acoustics and ventilation; upkeep is planned around how residents will actually live with it.
Values
These are not slogans on a wall. They are what we actually reach for when we price a job, inspect a handover or sit in a meeting. All six are specific enough to be checked.
- Build with heart Treat every project as if we were going to live in it ourselves.
- Customer first Hear what the client actually needs before talking about how to build it.
- Safety above all The programme gives way to safety. No exceptions.
- Quality at the core Never hand over work we would not be willing to look at ourselves.
-
Integrity
If we quote a price, a programme or a specification, we deliver it. The same measure applies to clients, suppliers and colleagues: we do only what is compliant, and we say early when something cannot be done.
-
Excellence
Every handover becomes the baseline for the next one. We would rather add a step of checking to the sequence, the junction or the finish than discover a fault after handover.
-
People
Safety and health come before the programme. Everyone on site and in the factory is part of the same team, and we think through the effect on the people who will use the building before we decide.
-
Courage
We are willing to rethink the methods we are used to. Where a technology or a practice pays off in the long run we put resources behind it, and we set aside room of our own to try and fail.
-
Collaboration
Design, factory, site and suppliers work from one set of information. Changes to drawings, materials and programme are updated in step, not passed on by word of mouth.
-
Accountability
We deliver the result and own it to the end. When something is difficult or the boundary is unclear, we step up and deal with it rather than waiting to be told.
Commitment
- Responsibility
One party responsible, from drawing to handover
Design, supply, installation, supervision and maintenance are all ours.
How we work
Facade design and supply, structural calculation, site installation, project management and supervision, finishing and maintenance are all carried out by one team, so responsibility never breaks.
- Qualification
A properly qualified construction team
Every project is built to the specification in the works contract.
How we work
Sequence and materials are checked item by item against the drawings and the works contract, and there is a record from structural calculation through to site installation — all reviewable.
- Schedule
Finishing on time is something you can plan
An experienced management team supervises every project.
How we work
Sequence and manpower are programmed to the works contract, other trades are coordinated, and materials and fabrication progress are confirmed early so that no trade waits on another.
- Quality
Quality assured to the client's requirements
From facade components to the look of the finish, the client's requirements are the acceptance standard.
How we work
Finishing and touching up follow completion, and a maintenance service follows handover, so the facade keeps the condition it should have.
