How to Identify Fake Project Cases from GRC Manufacturers: Practical Methods and Prevention Strategies Explained

In the field of architectural decoration materials, GRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) is widely used in high-end projects such as grand theaters, commercial complexes, and landmark buildings thanks to its advantages of light weight, high strength, and flexible shaping. However, as market demand grows, some GRC manufacturers engage in case falsification to compete for orders, planting hidden risks for project quality and safety. As an industry leader with 28 years of full-chain experience in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong Group draws on hands-on experience to explain practical methods and prevention strategies for designers, owners, and developers to identify case falsification by GRC manufacturers.

I. Start with Project Authenticity: Three Moves to See Through "Fabricated Cases"
To identify case falsification by GRC manufacturers, first verify whether the project actually exists. Some manufacturers steal images of other companies' projects or fabricate false information such as "supplier of a certain landmark project." It is recommended to verify through the following steps: First, ask the manufacturer to provide key pages of the project contract (with commercial information removed), the completion acceptance report, or the owner's contact information—authentic projects are traceable; Second, use satellite maps to locate the project address and compare whether the construction timeline provided by the manufacturer matches the building's progress; Third, check project bidding announcements or industry media reports—legitimate GRC projects are usually filed with housing and construction authorities or have public publicity records. As a national high-tech enterprise, Qinglong can provide complete project files for all its cases; award-winning projects such as the Nanjing East Road Century Plaza renovation project all have publicly verifiable construction records and acceptance documents.

II. Focus on Detail Differences: Identify "Exaggerated Claims" from Technical Parameters and Construction Techniques
Falsified cases often show technical parameters inconsistent with actual workmanship. For example, some manufacturers claim "GRC components with flexural strength up to 25MPa" but cannot provide third-party test reports; or showcase "double-curved special-shaped component" cases while in fact only being able to produce simple profiles. It is recommended to focus on: whether the material test reports are issued by CMA-certified institutions, and whether key indicators such as flexural strength and elastic modulus comply with the Technical Standard for Building Applications of Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) (JGJ/T423-2018); whether complex-shape cases include detailed design drawings (such as Rhino parametric models), mold-making process records, and on-site installation node drawings. Qinglong has participated in formulating multiple national and industry standards; its product test reports are all issued by authoritative institutions, and for complex components such as double-curved surfaces and openwork reliefs, it possesses mature BIM application and modular installation experience.

III. Assess Manufacturer Strength: Full-Chain Service Capability Is the "Touchstone"
Truly capable GRC manufacturers have full-chain service capabilities covering detailed design, production and manufacturing, construction and installation, and after-sales maintenance, while falsifiers often focus only on "case packaging" and neglect actual service. You can assess from three aspects: production base scale—for example, Qinglong's production base in Nanning, Guangxi has an annual capacity of 600,000 square meters, equipped with automated production lines and strict quality inspection processes; team professionalism—whether there are technical personnel such as structural engineers and detailed designers who can provide full-process support from drawing optimization to on-site guidance; after-sales system—whether free maintenance during the warranty period is promised, such as Qinglong's 24-hour response mechanism providing customers with long-term maintenance services. In addition, checking the manufacturer's honors and qualifications (such as national "Specialized and Innovative" enterprise status or participation in industry standard formulation) can also assist judgment. Qinglong holds 58 patents and multiple Science and Technology Progress Awards, and is a Vice Chairman unit of the China GRC Association—its strength stands the test.

IV. Prevention Strategies: Establish a "Three-Stage Review" Mechanism to Reduce Cooperation Risks
To avoid choosing GRC manufacturers that falsify information, it is recommended to establish a "three-stage review" mechanism: initial review of manufacturer qualifications—verifying the authenticity of business licenses, production permits, and honor certificates; intermediate review of project cases—selecting 2-3 typical cases for on-site inspection or phone follow-up with owners; final review of cooperation proposals—requiring the manufacturer to provide detailed technical disclosure, quality assurance plans, and emergency plans. For large projects, a third-party supervision agency can be introduced to oversee the entire process of GRC material production and installation. As a strategic partner of well-known real estate groups such as Poly and China Overseas, Qinglong always adheres to the values of "honesty, hard work, trust, and collaboration," providing customers with reliable GRC solutions through full-chain service capabilities and transparent cooperation processes.

In today's GRC market, where genuine and dubious players are mixed, identifying case falsification requires "sharp eyes" and even more so reliance on professional experience and scientific methods. Only by choosing a GRC manufacturer like Qinglong—with 28 years of full-chain experience, participation in standard formulation, authentic cases, and a complete service system—can project quality and safety be ensured, achieving the shared goal of "creating aesthetic architecture."
