Glodon representatives praised CENTRAL for its robust and systematic implementation of BIM technology in construction execution and project management. As digital transformation becomes a defining trend in the construction industry, CENTRAL stands out as one of the few contractors in Vietnam leading both in vision and execution.

The meeting also served as a platform for in-depth discussions on emerging BIM trends, practical deployment experiences, and updates on Cubicost’s advanced features — the core technology being adopted by CENTRAL across several major projects.

Developed by Glodon, Cubicost is a specialized software suite for quantity takeoff and cost management based on the BIM platform. The name “Cubicost” reflects its dual focus:

  • Cubic”, representing the 3D BIM modeling foundation,
  • Cost”, emphasizing its role in optimizing expenses and enhancing transparency and efficiency in the AEC (Architecture – Engineering – Construction) industry.

The Cubicost BIM suite includes four specialized modules — TAS, TRB, TME, and TBQ — tailored to various tasks within quantity takeoff and analysis. These tools enable flexible BIM data exchange, significantly boosting accuracy, efficiency, and professionalism in cost estimation. Unlike traditional methods, Cubicost seamlessly integrates with other widely used industry software, offering a modern, optimized estimation solution on the BIM platform.

The CENTRAL engineers listen to the features of the Cubicost software introduced by Glodon.

This award is a well-deserved recognition of CENTRAL’s relentless commitment to pioneering the integration of BIM in construction and project management. Over the years, the company has consistently invested in research and effective BIM implementation to enhance material control, reduce construction costs, and improve productivity and project outcomes. Notable projects utilizing BIM technology include: Taipei Twin Towers (Taiwan), Fairmont Hanoi, La Pura Binh Duong, D-Aqua, Sol Forest Ecopark, Empire City, and UOA Tower, among others.

During the event, CENTRAL expressed its sincere appreciation to Glodon for its dedicated technical support throughout the Cubicost deployment journey. Both sides shared a mutual vision for expanding collaboration — not only in software application but also in co-developing BIM solutions tailored to the real-world needs of the construction industry in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

The synergy between CENTRAL and Glodon promises to deliver long-term, sustainable value — not only for the two organizations but also for the broader construction ecosystem in this digital era.

On June 23, 2025, at Ho Chi Minh City Headquarters, Central Construction Joint Stock Company celebrated the 8th anniversary (June 23, 2017 – June 23, 2025) in an atmosphere filled with pride and emotion.

The event was attended by the company’s Board of Directors and staff members from various departments and divisions. Project teams across all three regions of the country participated online.

CENTRAL’s Board of Directors celebrates the 8th Anniversary of the Establishment

Starting with only a few dozen people, limited resources, and numerous challenges, CENTRAL has grown through the passion and tireless determination of its staff. It is this spirit that has helped the company overcome obstacles to deliver technically advanced projects with deep human value.

Eight years is not a long journey, but it has been enough for CENTRAL to affirm its position as one of Vietnam’s leading general contractors. The company has left a strong mark on the national construction landscape and is gradually extending its presence internationally.

In his speech at the ceremony, CEO Tran Quang Tuan shared heartfelt words with all CENTRAL employees: “What makes me most proud is not just the impressive structures we’ve built, but the extraordinary growth of our people. From enthusiastic young engineers, you have developed into confident professionals capable of managing major projects both domestically and abroad. That growth is the result of continuous self-discipline, inner strength, and the drive to break through personal limits. At CENTRAL, we don’t just build projects—we build people. Independent, resilient individuals who are ambitious and committed to contributing their best. The happy and empowering work environment we’ve cultivated stands as a testament to the unity and core values CENTRAL always upholds.”

There are also unsung pioneers within the company—the individuals who took bold, silent steps into uncharted territories where CENTRAL’s name had never been seen. In places others feared to tread, they pressed forward. In situations deemed impossible, they made the impossible possible. Without seeking recognition or praise, these trailblazers lit the first flame that would guide CENTRAL towards new markets and broader horizons.

As the company enters its ninth year, it faces new challenges. However, with a strong, resilient team, unwavering unity, and a shared aspiration for advancement, CENTRAL is determined to conquer new heights and make its mark on the global stage.

Happy 8th Anniversary to CENTRAL./.
