China Architecture Design & Research Group (CAG) is a large high-tech state owned enterprise grouped in April 2000. Merged with the Architecture Design Institute Ministry of Construction, the China Building Technology Development Center, the North China Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute and the China Urban Construction & Research Institute, the original body was the Central Design Company established on 1952.
CAG is among the first group who has set up its reputation in the international building construction market after the open policy being carried out in China and it is among the early group of design institutes that have obtained permission of managing foreign trade and import/export qualification from the concerning authorities. On November 2000, the Group passed the ISO9001 certification exam.
