Dongbu Construction has regained a construction capability evaluation amount of over 2 trillion won this year, moving up to the mid-20s in the overall ranking.
On August 3, Dongbu Construction announced that it ranked 25th in the "2026 Construction Company Capability Evaluation" released by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, with a construction capability evaluation amount of 2.0215 trillion won.
This marks a three-place increase from last year's 28th position. The evaluation amount rose by 270.1 billion won from last year's 1.7514 trillion won, reflecting a growth rate of 15.4%.
The construction capability evaluation is calculated based on the performance of construction projects over the past three years, as well as factors such as capital, financial structure, technical personnel, investment in technology development, safety, environmental standards, and reputation. The results are seen as a reflection of Dongbu Construction's business competitiveness, including its project performance, management stability, technical capabilities, and external credibility.
Dongbu Construction has successfully restored its construction capability evaluation amount to over 2 trillion won, which had fallen below that threshold last year. The increase in both ranking and evaluation amount indicates that the company's efforts to improve its business structure and strengthen its management foundation have been recognized.
In specific performance categories, Dongbu Construction showed strengths as well. Based on 2025 construction performance, it ranked 6th in the port sector with 90.5 billion won, and 7th in the railway sector with 104.2 billion won. In the river, forest, and agricultural civil engineering sectors, it achieved 3rd place with 20.3 billion won.
In the building sector, it ranked 5th among all construction companies in the education and social building category with 157 billion won. While its overall ranking is 25th, it has demonstrated strong performance in specialized areas such as ports, railways, and public architecture, proving its competitiveness in the public infrastructure sector.
Despite a slowdown in the construction market, the recovery of both the ranking and evaluation amount in the construction capability assessment could enhance trust in future public project bids and private sector contracts.
Dongbu Construction is expanding its business scope into private plants, semiconductors, and advanced industrial facilities, leveraging its accumulated experience in public civil engineering and construction.
A representative from Dongbu Construction stated, "The results of this construction capability evaluation reflect the company's accumulated project execution capabilities and technical skills, as well as the comprehensive recognition of our efforts to improve management focused on profitability. We have reaffirmed Dongbu Construction's expertise and competitiveness by achieving top-tier performance in areas where we excel, such as ports, railways, and public architecture."
