Daewoo Engineering & Construction has been selected as the recipient of the Jury Award at the 2026 Aju Economic Construction Awards. The company was recognized for its differentiated business capabilities and contributions to enhancing competitiveness in the construction industry.
Founded in 1973, Daewoo Engineering & Construction has operated in various sectors, including housing, roads, railways, ports, and power facilities. Since launching its residential brand 'Prugio' in 2003, the company has focused on improving living environments and product differentiation.
The award submission highlighted 'Dujeong Station Prugio Grand Peak' as a prime example of residential innovation. The project features a curtain wall design, 'Layered Park' landscaping, and a greener community, showcasing the overall product differentiation of the complex.
The curtain wall design creates an appearance similar to a glass exterior. Daewoo Engineering & Construction emphasized its achievements in combining exterior design with landscaping and community facilities.
The company's accumulated capabilities through domestic infrastructure construction and overseas projects were also significant factors in its recognition. Daewoo has participated in expanding national infrastructure through the construction of roads, railways, ports, and power facilities, while also broadening its business scope with overseas plant and infrastructure projects.
Notable overseas projects include the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Train 7 and the Al-Faw New Port in Iraq, both awarded in 2020. The submission also included advancements in nuclear and eco-friendly energy technologies, improvements in living environments, and community contribution activities.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023, Daewoo Engineering & Construction ranked third in construction capability evaluations and continued to receive awards in technology and design. In March, the company won the main award at the 2026 iF Design Award, and in July, it received a commendation from the Prime Minister on 'Construction Day 2026.'
