“While bidding for a 42-story building designed by CPI – I decided to withdraw from the competition because I was truly scared to be the contractor of the project which had overall reinforcement to concrete ratio of 100-120 kg/m3. Upon checking all our past records for comparable projects, the ratio was never less than 250 kg/m2. My withdrawal not only benefitted my competitors but also made me realize that it is extremely important to understand the difference between “Value Engineering” and “Vague Engineering”. The fact now is that project was peer-reviewed, approved, and built with about 100kg/m3 rebar ratio and standing well for over a decade.” (@AERAS Condominium, Pattaya, TH)

“Beyond obvious benefits of cost, duration, installation, QC, etc. from CPI’s innovative Z-shaped-precast-prestressed seat system, their design so effectively solved the chronical problem of water leakage, corrosion and long-term repair and maintenance prevailing in almost all existing stadiums in Thailand”. (@First Precast Stadium in Thailand)

“Unless done, it was difficult to believe a 5 story flat can be built in one month. CPI’s R&D based design is a great contribution not only to NHA but to the whole society and country. The confidence gained through construction of over 1,000 such buildings has long-lasting impact in Thai Construction Industry.” (@First Precast Flat in Thailand)

“For a donation-funded projects like ours (40m guru statue), an 200-300% saving in construction cost from the original design is even more valuable than the biggest financial donation ever-received by the foundation and one of the key factor in the overall survival/success of the project”. (@ Takila Guru Statue and Complex, Bhutan)

“Even for a long-established high-rise real estate developers, it is something new to know that CPI’s recently introduced service – WEGA (Wind, Earthquake, GeoTech and Advanced Analysis) – is so crucial for successful structural design of tall buildings”. (@Mahanakorn Tower, Thailand)  

“In general, an increase in span from 90m to 130m is expected to increase the design moments and other results by about 2 times and hence the corresponding increase in construction cost and complexity. However, CPI’s Value-Engineering based redesign of 130m span, twin-deck balanced cantilever bridge within the original budget and construction time is a huge relief for all agencies involved in addition to a extraordinary proof of true value engineering, cost optimization and innovative method of construction”.
