What 建设综合勘察研究设计院有限公司 does

建设综合勘察研究设计院有限公司 (CIGIS, formerly the Comprehensive Survey Research and Design Institute under the Ministry of Construction) is one of China's oldest and largest comprehensive engineering survey and design institutions, founded in 1952 and restructured from a state research unit into a private limited liability company in 2009. The company is currently owned 35% by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and 65% by employees, and holds over 30 top-tier qualifications including national Class A comprehensive engineering survey and Class A mapping. It serves Chinese central and local government agencies, large state-owned enterprises, and overseas clients across eight core business segments: geotechnical engineering survey and design consulting; surveying, remote sensing and digital city; urban-rural planning and engineering design; cultural heritage conservation and display utilization; engineering management and consulting; engineering project construction and management; ecological environment and geohazard prevention; and Hong Kong / overseas operations.

The company's underlying technology stack spans engineering survey, geotechnical engineering, remote sensing, GIS, BIM, digital twin, cultural heritage digitization (3D laser scanning, UAV photogrammetry, 3DGS Gaussian splatting), deformation monitoring instrumentation (self-developed static leveling and layered settlement instruments), and IoT-based safety monitoring. It has led or co-led the development of more than 200 national, local and industry standards (including mandatory national codes such as GB 55017-2021 General Code for Engineering Survey and GB 55018-2021 General Code for Engineering Surveying), completed over 100,000 engineering projects across 70+ years, and won more than 230 national and provincial-level awards. Its talent base includes 8 National Engineering Survey Design Masters, 11 national and ministerial-level experts, 20 State Council special allowance recipients, 300+ senior technical professionals, and 360+ registered practitioners. The portfolio includes the Engineering Survey Journal, a core Chinese sci-tech journal hosted by CIGIS.

CIGIS earns revenue through project-based professional services delivered across the full engineering lifecycle (planning, survey, design, construction, testing/monitoring, supervision, completion acceptance, and operations) under a sales-led go-to-market motion that targets national priority infrastructure projects, large SOE build-outs, and municipal government tenders. Distribution is executed through 13 domestic branches, 6 wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries (including Beijing Zhongjian Technology, Beijing Zhongjing Construction Engineering Quality Testing, Beijing Zhongchengjian Construction Management, Jixiang Engineering Development in Hong Kong, Comprehensive Testing in Hong Kong, and Shenzhen CIGIS), with overseas project delivery in Yemen, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Sudan, Congo, Zambia, Sri Lanka, Mauritania and Kenya. Pricing is non-public and project-bid-driven; a single historic project (Huaneng Yuhuan Power Plant soft ground treatment and pile foundation works) exceeded 100 million yuan in contract value.

Scale indicators13 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• China Metallurgical Group Corporation (MCC): Central SOE providing integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and consulting services across industrial, infrastructure, and geotechnical domains. MCC competes with CIGIS for large-scale foundation, geohazard, and environmental remediation mandates.
• WSP Global: Global professional services firm in transportation, property, environment, and energy engineering consulting. Comparable to CIGIS in offering integrated survey-to-supervision services, but with a private, globally diversified business model versus CIGIS's state-affiliated domestic focus.
• Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina): Massive central SOE with integrated engineering survey, design, construction, and operations across energy and infrastructure. PowerChina dwarfs CIGIS in scale and scope but competes for the same large state-owned engineering mandates and uses similar survey/geotechnical capabilities.
• Arcadis: Global design and consultancy firm in mobility, resilience, places, and water. Arcadis's integrated consulting, design, and program management across infrastructure and the built environment maps to CIGIS's full-chain service offering at a global incumbent scale.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm offering design, engineering, surveying, and program management. AECOM operates as a global incumbent covering the same end-to-end services CIGIS delivers domestically, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Direct peers

• China Architecture Design & Research Group (CADG): China's leading comprehensive architectural and engineering design research institute under the Machinery Group. Like CIGIS, CADG is a centrally-affiliated design institute offering full-lifecycle A&E services with strong government and SOE client access, making it the closest scale-and-business-model peer.
• China Academy of Building Research (CABR): State-affiliated comprehensive building science and engineering research institute. CABR's multi-disciplinary R&D-plus-design model, standards authorship, and central-government positioning closely parallel CIGIS's profile in survey, standards, and consulting.
• China Academy of Urban Planning and Design (CAUPD): Top-tier central SOE urban planning and design research institute. CAUPD's overlap with CIGIS's urban-rural planning, smart-city, and surveying/remote-sensing services makes it a directly comparable peer in the planning + spatial information intersection.
• China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (CREEC): Comprehensive survey, design, and consulting institute under China Railway. Like CIGIS, CREEC delivers full-chain engineering services (survey, design, supervision, consulting) to large central SOE clients with deep technical credentials and standard-setting influence.
• China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute (CSWADI): One of China's six major national architectural design institutes, operating across architecture, surveying, geotechnical, and municipal engineering. CSWADI shares CIGIS's state-affiliated, multi-disciplinary comprehensive design institute model.
