The year 2024 promises broader opportunities for the company’s business development, R&D, and corporate branding initiatives. It is anticipated that the entire team, united in commitment to a shared vision, will attain new developmental milestones.

This year, the Design Department executed design work for 12 engineering projects and developed design schemes for nearly 100 projects, marking an unprecedented workload. The team’s collaborative capacity and design proficiency have significantly improved. In audit management, the timeliness and accuracy of bid cost accounting and tender quotation preparation for engineering projects have been consistently enhanced. A comprehensive cost process control mechanism has been established across design, procurement, and construction phases, strengthening the company’s competitiveness during bidding and profitability during project execution.
