Could you rank the top 20 most outstanding design institutes in China and abroad?

I think, especially regarding the order of priority in China, there are many **different standards

The top 10 most renowned design institutes in the country are. . . I think it’s quite difficult to arrange them; it should be based on certain criteria, such as the total contract value.

There seems to be such a ranking, on the BBB. I remember it was SEI who was in charge

The top design firms are probably not Zhongbo; they are all very good choices

In China, SEI Global, Chengda, Tianchen, and Luoyang Design Institute seem to be quite good. Are there any other companies in the petrochemical industry that are even better? I’d like to hear more about them to broaden my knowledge

Each design institute has its own specialties. So it can’t be compared. Global seems to be very strong. Actually, it’s only in the case of ethylene. If it’s polyethylene or something like that. It’s the same – you hire others to do the work outside as well. But its management system is excellent. Management systems as well. I don’t know much about SEI.

The Ministry of Construction ranks design institutes every year; just take a look to see, it’s simply a comprehensive ranking of various industries

There should be a ranking system, used to reward those who perform well and to motivate them, but it shouldn’t become a mere formality; wait until the rankings are announced

You can just take a look at this thing; it’s like university rankings. As said on the campus BBS, it’s nothing but fleeting clouds.

Since each institution in the country focuses on different areas and has distinct specializations, it would also be useful to mention which institutions are the strongest in specific fields; this way, newcomers can learn about the strengths of various institutions in the industry

Still doing this? You can just look at ENR’s rankings – there are rankings specific to design institutes in China, and they are quite authoritative. The rankings issued by the Survey and Design Association are also based on ENR’s rankings.

Let me know, I can use it as a reference later. Thank you

Got it; it seems the timing isn’t very accurate.

Thank you. Why aren’t some companies listed there? Not quite complete

There’s not much variation in operating revenue; perhaps the profits can differ significantly

Tianjin Tianchen Design Institute is good for the chemical industry

In the petrochemical industry, I believe China’s estimated SEI is the highest among the refining and chemical processing sectors. Chengda, Tianchen, and Huanqiu are all very strong

SEI – for several years in a row it has been among the top in international rankings; it’s definitely number one in the domestic market, and in the petrochemical industry, SEI is the leader.

Every time we do this, aside from arguments, it seems like no conclusions can be reached!
