How to Identify Fake Project Cases from GRC Manufacturers: Key Methods and Practical Tips Explained

In the field of architectural decoration materials, case studies are an important measure of a GRC manufacturer's strength, yet case fabrication in the market makes it difficult for many project decision-makers to tell the difference. As an industry leader with 28 years of full-chain experience in detailed design, manufacturing, construction and installation, and after-sales maintenance of UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong Group will analyze from a professional perspective how to see through case fabrication by GRC manufacturers, providing practical identification methods for designers, owners, and developers.

I. Trace Project Details to Detect "Substitution"-Type Fabrication

Authentic GRC project cases are always accompanied by a complete chain of project information. It is advisable to first verify the basic elements of a case, including the project name, location, construction unit, and completion date, and validate the project's authenticity through government public platforms or industry databases. Some fraudulent manufacturers often steal images of other companies' landmark projects; in such cases, you can request key documents such as detailed design drawings, material test reports, and construction logs. As a national-level high-tech enterprise, Qinglong Group retains complete archives for all projects from design to maintenance. For example, the light-transmitting concrete project of the Nanjing East Road Century Plaza renovation can be traced back to details such as BIM model construction and material mix ratio experiments—this is precisely the core advantage of a professional GRC manufacturer.

II. Verify Technical Parameter Matching, Beware of "Misattribution"-Type Claims

The match between GRC material performance indicators and project requirements is key to distinguishing genuine cases from fabricated ones. Fabricated cases often contain contradictory technical parameters—for example, GRC components claimed to be used on super high-rise exterior walls yet unable to provide test reports showing flexural strength ≥15MPa and frost resistance ≥200 freeze-thaw cycles. Qinglong Group participated in formulating the Technical Standard for Architectural Application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) (JGJ/T423-2018) and understands well how material requirements differ across scenarios: theater ceilings require attention to fire rating (Class A1), while municipal landscape components emphasize weather resistance. It is recommended to require manufacturers to provide test data issued by authoritative third-party institutions that corresponds to actual project conditions, to avoid being misled by generic reports.

III. On-Site Inspection and Supply Chain Verification, Reject "Armchair" Promises

Genuine GRC project cases can withstand on-site verification. You may ask the manufacturer to arrange an on-site project visit, focusing on the installation precision, surface texture, and joint treatment of the components—high-quality GRC components should achieve joints with errors ≤2mm and have no obvious bubbles or cracks on the surface. In addition, the completeness of the supply chain reflects the authenticity of production capacity. Qinglong Group's production base in Nanning, Guangxi has an annual capacity of 600,000 square meters and features a full industrial chain layout from glass fiber proportioning and mold making to automated production lines, and welcomes client inspections of its production processes at any time. Maintain a high level of vigilance toward manufacturers who cannot provide production base information or make excuses to avoid on-site visits.

IV. Evaluate Full-Chain Service Capability, Identify "Fragmented" Cooperation Pitfalls

A professional GRC manufacturer should possess integrated service capabilities covering detailed design, manufacturing, construction and installation, and after-sales maintenance. Case fabricators often outsource construction to cover up their own lack of capability, manifested in an inability to provide project detailed design solutions or the absence of an after-sales maintenance team. As Vice Chairman Unit of the China GRC Association, Qinglong Group provides clients with full-cycle services from BIM model optimization in the early project stage to 5 years of free maintenance later on. For example, in the Dongguan Women and Children's Activity Center project, parametric design enabled the precise realization of a double-curved GRC curtain wall. It is recommended to consult existing clients to understand the manufacturer's response speed and problem-solving ability at key project milestones.

In the field of UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, the authenticity of case studies directly affects project quality and return on investment. Qinglong Group has always upheld the values of "Honesty, Perseverance, Trust, and Collaboration," providing clients with traceable and verifiable authentic cases backed by 28 years of industry experience and 58 patented technologies. When choosing a GRC manufacturer, be sure to evaluate through four dimensions—detail tracing, technical verification, on-site validation, and service assessment—to avoid falling into the trap of case fabrication and ensure the project achieves a perfect unity of aesthetics and performance.
