Company History
A research lineage reaching back to 1953, and a company founded in 1987 among China's first national pilot enterprises — the foundation behind today's research-led engineering group.
From building research to a national engineering group
CBTGC grew out of one of China's foremost building-research institutions and was established as a market-facing enterprise during the country's project-management reforms. Today it operates as the public-facing engineering arm of the China Academy of Building Research (CABR) — "one team under two brands".
