China Architectural Design Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Institute", English logo CADG) is subordinate to China Construction Technology Group Co., Ltd., a large-scale backbone technology-based central enterprise under the jurisdiction of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Its predecessor was a design company directly under the central government founded in 1952, and a large state-owned architectural design enterprise was later established by the merger of the former Architectural Design Institute of the Ministry of Construction and the former China Academy of Building Technology.
Adhering to the fine tradition, the Chinese Institute has always been committed to promoting the innovation and development of the domestic survey and design industry, taking customer achievement, professional integrity, and collaborative innovation as the core values of enterprise development, and providing the most professional comprehensive technical consulting services for the modernization, standardization, industrialization and internationalization of China's architecture.
The main business of the institute covers the whole process of fixed asset investment activities such as pre-construction consulting, planning, design, project management, project supervision, professional project contracting, environmental and energy conservation evaluation, etc. Specifically, it includes architectural engineering design and consulting; engineering consulting, design and construction of building intelligent systems; urban and small town planning; Ancient architecture, garden and landscape planning; Historical and Cultural Heritage Protection Planning and World Heritage Application; Research on national architectural design standards; construction and housing industry technology research; R&D of building materials and equipment. It has basically formed a group industrial framework integrating architectural design, urban construction planning, architectural standards, construction information, engineering consulting, interior design, landscaping, residential industrialization research and development, BIM three-dimensional design technology research and development, and building technology scientific research.
The China Institute is an architectural design enterprise with a high degree of specialization in the industry, with nearly 2,000 employees. Among them, there are 2 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 5 national engineering survey and design masters, and 3 candidates for the national "Millions of Talents Project"; 59 experts have been approved by the State Council to enjoy government allowances, and more than 10 young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions at the national level; There are more than 400 national professional registered personnel, nearly 500 senior designers and researchers, and professional and technical personnel account for more than 90% of the total number of enterprises.
