A leading Chinese construction company is looking for reliable partners in Bangladesh and other potential markets in South Asia and beyond to address growing housing and high-rise building construction demands taking the advantage of modern technology.
"There's very strong market demand. We're looking for good partners in Bangladesh and other countries as part of our expansion plan," Vice President of Broad Homes Industrial International Construction Co Ltd Bo Huang told UNB at his office at Yuelu District, Changsha.
He said they are looking for such partners who have strong background in this sector. "We have to set up factories, too as we provide one-stop service."
Explaining potential of business expansion plan globally, Huang said there is a growing need for houses and everybody wants a house. "We're the biggest company in the sector within China and now we're expanding our business network," he said, adding that their products are being exported to French, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Nigeria.
The official said the specialty of the company is that all things are done under the same roof -- from building design to final construction. "Everything is being made ready in our factory. And then we install those in the construction site."
He said shrinking labour force is one of the reasons to make everything centrally with the use of high technology avoiding manual labour.
Huang said the Broad Homes established Research & Development Center in 1996 consisting of professional teams with adequate engineers and architects.
In order to create innovations for industrialised building in China, they invited professional researchers not only from the field of construction engineering, but also from other fields of specialisation such as ecology, energy and artificial intelligence.
Broad Homes' 5th generation of industrialised integrated building system adopts the world's most advanced precast concrete technology and BIM platform, he said.
By optimising the R&D, design, manufacturing, construction, material and product systems, quality is improved and time, energy and cost can be saved, Huang said.
"Through standardisation and industrialisation, we adopted a flexible production line to produce PC, which can greatly reduce the labour and shorten production period while ensuring product quality and efficiency," he added.
The company offers technical service and consulting in the area of precast concrete manufacturing and construction.
As the leading enterprise in precast concrete construction worldwide, Broad Homes specialises in providing integrated solutions of precast concrete construction (including residential buildings, commercial buildings, public facilities, industrial facilities and infrastructure) for over 20 years.
With advanced precast concrete construction technology and expertise, Broad Homes International is engaged in helping customers to fully master precast concrete construction technology by delivering the smartest precast factory solution, engineering services, technical consulting services and technical support throughout the lifecycle of a construction project, officials said.
"We are also constructing American, French and European style villas which are a bit expensive," Huang said showing some of the completed projects.
He said these two or three storied buildings are strong enough against any natural disaster, including earthquake.
Responding to a question, Huang said they will keep in mind all risk factors associated with any specific country when they will start projects abroad.
