The China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC; ) is a Beijing-based State-owned enterprise from China. It stands as the world’s top construction firm by revenue and was ranked eighth globally for international contracting sales in 2020. In the 2023 edition of the Forbes Global 2000, CSCEC secured the 66th position.

The majority of CSCEC’s assets were listed under China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited (CSCECL), while CSCEC itself retained non-transferable holdings such as educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and its stake in China Construction International Corporation (). CSCEC maintains supervisory authority over this publicly traded entity.

CSCEC has been responsible for delivering numerous iconic projects, including some of the tallest skyscrapers and largest-scale developments worldwide.

Corporate structure

CSCEC’s operations encompass a wide network of branches and subsidiaries structured into five principal divisions and twelve key business sectors. These include eight engineering offices, four Design Institutes, and a national research laboratory. Its core business segments span planning and design, project development, equipment leasing, trading activities, construction services, and facilities management.

The company’s subsidiary and publicly listed arm, China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited (CSCECL) () (), was founded in 2007 and went public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2009. The initial public offering was priced at RMB 4.18 per share, closing at RMB 6.53 on its debut day—a rise of 56%—and raised US$7.3 billion, marking the largest IPO globally that year.

History

Established in 1957 as a state-owned enterprise, CSCEC initially concentrated on heavy industry and infrastructure projects throughout Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Its first international office opened in Kuwait during the late 1970s, followed by expansion into the U.S. market with an Atlanta office in 1985. The U.S. branch began with joint venture housing projects before delivering its inaugural independent project—Lantana Lakes—a $27 million residential development in Jacksonville, Florida, completed in 1987.

In 2009, the World Bank imposed a six-year blacklist on CSCEC due to collusive bidding practices related to a Philippine infrastructure contract.

Backed by support from the Chinese government and financing from the Export-Import Bank of China, CSCEC has pursued rapid overseas growth. In 2011, it launched Baha Mar Resorts in the Bahamas—a $3.4 billion casino and resort complex partially owned by CSCEC—representing the largest Chinese construction endeavor outside mainland China.

Additionally, CSCEC constructed the Athletics and Football Stadium in Grenada.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, CSCEC completed two hospitals in Wuhan within approximately two weeks: Huoshenshan Hospital with a capacity of 1,000 beds and Leishenshan Hospital accommodating 1,600 beds.

On August 28, 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense designated China State Construction Group as one of several companies linked to the People’s Liberation Army operating within U.S. territory. This designation led to an executive order prohibiting American investment in these firms.

Due to its ongoing business dealings with Russia during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, CSCEC has been identified by Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention as an International Sponsor of War.

In December 2023, CSCEC formed a strategic partnership with NWTN aimed at advancing new energy vehicle initiatives and green hydrogen projects. Under this collaboration, CSCECL oversees construction planning, contracting, and financing responsibilities while NWTN manages investment and operational aspects.
