This enables Thailand to showcase its high craftsmanship in construction and building decoration using gypsum board and plaster products as alternatives to traditional construction methods, as well as the effective and safe selection of solutions that meet global standards. Additionally, this event serves as an important opportunity to promote Thai architectural works, particularly in project management and material selection, to the global audience. The Saint-Gobain Yiprock National Trophy Thailand thus honors and awards projects that can create construction and decoration works that are beautiful, sustainable, functional, and cost-effective all in one."
The Saint-Gobain Gypsum International Trophy is held every two years, starting from national and regional competitions to bring winners from each country to compete on a global stage. The results are judged by an independent panel of experts in gypsum from various countries, including representatives from Saint-Gobain.
This competition is therefore a significant event in the construction industry and one of the largest competitions in the world.
