CKMBT International

What CKMBT International does

CKMBT International Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-headquartered multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy founded in 1989 by Dr. C. K. Murthy. The firm delivers Civil and Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Project Management, Permitting Services, Accredited Checker Services, Periodic Structural and Facade Inspection, and Feasibility Studies across building, infrastructure, marine, and industrial projects. Its core delivery model is professional services consultancy, with fees quoted project-by-project based on scope, complexity, and duration, and revenue derived primarily from government statutory boards (LTA, PUB, SLA, JTC) and industrial clients in oil and gas, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals (Shell, Total Oil, Lubrizol, Aventis Pharma, ITC).

Technically, CKMBT combines conventional C&S design with BIM-enabled delivery and a Drone and AI-powered 100% visual facade inspection capability, and holds a proprietary CKMbTX polymer technology for foundation strengthening. The firm operates a Licensed Corporation status with the Professional Engineers Board Singapore, Accredited Checking Organisation status with BCA, panel prequalification with PUB, and Government Supplier Registration Grade S9 (eligible for public contracts up to SGD 30 million). It maintains regional offices in Malaysia (AEM Consultants, majority-owned since 2016) and India (CKM Consultants India, wholly-owned since 2010), and a wholly-owned subsidiary in Myanmar (since 2013).

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting government boards and major industrial clients, supported by Business Development staff and direct relationship management; the firm does not operate channel partners, digital marketing at scale, or a SaaS-style recurring revenue model. Notable marquee projects include the world-first 14-storey Amara Hotel extension above operational hotel premises, the world-first basement constructed beneath the 150-year-old Abdul Gafoor Mosque national monument, and Qualified Person Supervision on Cross Island Line MRT stations in Singapore.
