RCH China Architectural Engineering,

China Architectural Engineering, Inc. (CAE) (AMEX:RCH), a leader in the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of high-end building envelope solution systems, today announced that it has been awarded its first project in the United States, an $11.6 million contract to supply and install the curtain wall for a 21-story luxury condominium project in New York City. CAE has already begun initial work on the project and expects to have it completed by mid-2009. The Company expects to recognize revenues from the project in various stage payments between the second quarters of 2008 and 2009. The 54-unit project, located in the West Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan at 100 11th Street, is designed by Paris-based architect Jean Nouvel, winner of this year�s Pritzker Award, the highest honor in architecture. Nouvel, who is known for his distinctive and adventurous structures, is expected to significantly benefit in his design of this new highly technical and challenging condominium project by capitalizing on CAE�s fully-integrated, timely, yet cost-effective construction process. These key unique competitive advantages, which also include the designing, engineering, fabrication and installation of high-end curtain wall systems, roofing systems and steel construction systems, are key factors both in this and other projects as well as further solidifying CAE�s position as one of the rapidly emerging and dominant players in the global construction market. New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff describes the fa�ade as a �gleaming glass and steel mask� in which 1,650 window panes �are set at different angles, so that each will be imbued with subtly different qualities of light and reflection. Portions of the facade will seem to shimmer like the surface of water at times, and at others be more opaque. The silhouette will glow like a torch one minute and dissolve into the surrounding skyline the next.� Ken Yi Luo, China Architectural Engineering�s Chairman and CEO, commented, �Today�s announcement of a new contract will not only contribute new and higher-margin revenues to our company but also increase our reputation for leading-edge design and engineering in the global construction industry. We expect it to be the first of many in the U.S., where our sales team led by John Anderson is off to a fast start in negotiating contracts for high-end construction projects. We also could not be more pleased to be working with Jean Nouvel, whose studio is one of the world�s most prestigious architectural brands. Such associations, along with the recognized quality of our work, are helping to make CAE a globally prestigious brand in its own right.� Today�s announcement represents three achievements for CAE. First, it will represent the Company�s initial penetration of the U.S. construction market, driven by CAE�s new U.S. subsidiary, led by John Anderson and Bill Djurovic. Second, it is a clear testament of the Company�s success as part of its international expansion strategy. And third, the contract also marks the Company�s second collaboration with Nouvel, one of the world�s best-known and most respected architects, who also designed the Company�s high rise project in Doha, Qatar.
