Responding to the Challenges of Older Buildings and the Elderly with Love and Professionalism, Creating a Safer Future for Cities
A heavyweight dialogue takes place, with Sharing A+ Club focusing on new thinking in urban renewal.
Shenyin Building Materials' "Sharing A+ Club" channel continues to promote in-depth exchanges within the construction and real estate industries. This time, they specially invited Ms. Ai Li, a heavyweight figure in the BNI Chamber of Commerce's real estate sector, to Shenyin Building Materials to share her years of practical experience and values in the real estate industry. Host Qin Ling stated in the interview that she saw in Ms. Ai Li a long-term commitment to professionalism and a profound concern for people and land—precisely the core strength needed for urban renewal.
Starting from empathy, the initial motivation for the "Huadu Renewal" chapter
Regarding the upcoming establishment of the BNI sister chapter "Huadu Renewal," Ms. Ai Li shared that her initial inspiration stemmed from her long-term observation of old buildings, the elderly, and urban safety. She pointed out that Taiwan is facing a "double aging crisis"—old buildings and an aging population coexist. Many elderly people live in old, structurally dilapidated housing without elevators, making going out difficult, and their quality of life and safety risks are increasing.
In an environment of frequent earthquakes, urban renewal is no longer a question of "whether it will happen," but rather "how to deal with it." She hopes that through the Urban Renewal Branch, years of accumulated real estate expertise and practical experience can help landowners and residents find safer and more secure solutions in the complex urban renewal process.
Breaking Down Divisional Barriers and Creating a One-Stop Integrated Collaborative Model
Ms. Ai Li emphasized that the reason urban renewal is considered slow is not due to a lack of professionals, but rather the lack of an integrated mechanism that allows for "working side-by-side from the beginning." The Urban Renewal Branch aims to bring together developers, architects, financial professionals, construction engineers, sales representatives, and landowner consultants from the initial stages of case evaluation to discuss and work together in sync, making the process smoother, more stable, and safer.
This model is no longer a relay-style division of labor, but a full-process collaboration, reducing communication costs and risks, and allowing every participant to create a true win-win situation based on transparency and trust.
Upgrading a Conscience-Driven Project: Credit Becomes Key to Urban Renewal
Wei-Chen, Vice President of Shenyin Building Materials, shared during the exchange that urban renewal is not just an engineering project, but a conscience-driven undertaking that highly relies on credit. Many landowners must surrender their life savings during the urban renewal process, enduring long waiting times and immense psychological pressure. Therefore, "finding the right people and choosing the right team" is crucial.
Through BNI's rigorous partner selection mechanism and one-on-one business communication culture, the Urban Renewal Branch has been able to establish a highly trusting industry chain, avoiding information asymmetry and potential risks, making cooperation more secure.
Shenyin Building Materials Provides Support, Offering Materials and Digital Integration Resources
As an industry partner, Shenyin Building Materials also shared its role in the urban renewal ecosystem. Shenyin Building Materials has long served large B2B clients, providing high-CP value materials such as tiles, SPC flooring, and soundproofing mats, and assisting in the effective implementation of projects with a one-stop system solution encompassing both labor and materials.
Meanwhile, Shenyin Building Materials has been actively promoting digital transformation in recent years, opening up and sharing its smart material selection platform. The company hopes to use technology to help the industry reduce costs and improve efficiency, making urban renewal processes more transparent and controllable.
BNI's Givers Gain Culture Attracts a New Generation
The dialogue also mentioned that BNI's "Givers Gain" culture is attracting more and more young people to join. Compared to traditional social chambers of commerce, BNI emphasizes clear and efficient resource matching, reducing unnecessary socializing and making cooperation more direct and valuable.
Teacher Aili stated that the Urban Renewal Branch uses the "81-square grid" industry chain as a blueprint, sincerely inviting all professionals passionate about old house renovation and urban renewal to join. From Day One, we'll be on the same map, collaborating long-term and working together to achieve common goals.
Based on Comfortable Living, Paving the Way for the City and the Next Generation
At the end of the program, Teacher Aili shared her philosophy: "A house is not just an asset, but a space to settle down and make a living." Whether for personal use or rental, a good quality of life is crucial to a family's future. Through the establishment of the Urban Renewal Branch, she hopes to transform professional expertise into social value, making urban renewal not just a rebirth of buildings, but also a continuation of urban warmth and safety.
This dialogue not only announced the launch of the Urban Renewal Branch, but also demonstrated the shared determination of Shenyin Building Materials, BNI Hua Real Estate, and industry partners to work together to inject new momentum into urban renewal in Taiwan.
