Since its founding in September 1986, Lotte E&C’s R&D Center has consistently served important roles in supporting management, developing new technologies, finding new growth engines, cutting costs, and reducing construction time. The R&D Center is the source of company strategy in becoming one of Asia’s top-ten construction value creators.
Based on a wealth of experience in construction and project management, Lotte E&C has firmly secured core technologies in building ultra-high-rise structures, long bridges, and high value-added CM/PM projects. In addition, we are opening a new horizon in the construction industry by developing environmentally friendly technologies that make possible low-carbon green growth.

The R&D Center has established domestic and international networks for core technology information such as ultra-high-rise building technology, environmentally friendly architecture and materials, renewable energy sources, and carbon dioxide-reducing construction technology.
The center is engaged in technology information gathering, future technology trend research, and knowledge-based global technology information management.




The R&D Center is working to help the company diversity its business areas into environment and technology while establishing a wide-encompassing value chain.
We are also creating optimal architecture through computer simulation in the building information modeling project while taking part in the Smart Highway project that combines civil engineering, environmental science, and information technology.



Based on capabilities ranging from initial-stage planning to CM/PM, architecture, engineering, actual construction, and post-construction maintenance, the center is gaining technological expertise and experience.
The center is currently focusing on the planning and selection of R&D projects in response to the changing environment in the global construction industry/market/technology while strengthening soft capabilities in CM/PM areas.
