CÉH Philosophy

CÉH - A VALUE-CREATING COMPANY 

Our primary motivation is to create VALUE. That is why CÉH is a value-creating company.

Value creates our earnings. We deliberately avoid using the term "profit".

There is no controversy about how WE, all employees, managers and owners, think about this. 

ADVANCED PROFESSIONALISM AND QUALITY ARE PART OF OUR JOB 

We must pass on the experience of the previous generation to the generation of the future. 

We strive for the maximum achievable in terms of professionalism and quality, rather than the minimum that is sufficient. Even if - from time to time - the market tries to limit us.

SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO WORK AND OPERATIONS 

Since CÉH's inception, we have been building and developing systems to support our day-to-day operations and activities. Even before we start a project, we build a system, develop the process model, build the organisation, analyse the resources and define the methodology.

COMPREHENSIVE ENGINEERING SERVICES, DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND OUR WAY OF THINKING 

Our engineering services include structural design and project management. In bridge design, we act as a general designer responsible for all engineering disciplines.

As a general engineering organisation, we provide complex engineering solutions in building design by having all disciplines (architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical) in-house, while our long-term partners provide secondary and ancillary services. 

Development projects, however, require us to recognise and understand the client's business perspective and objectives. This requires not only pure engineering skills and experience, but also economic, business and legal knowledge. For us, this kind of complex thinking is the way to a successful future. 

ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND EVOLVE IN OUR PROFESSION AND ON THE MARKET 

CÉH's most important asset is its intellectual capital. Therefore, the development of our knowledge serves as the basis for our self-development. 

Therefore, CÉH offers, organises and finances training, courses and activities for employees through the CÉH Academy; 

Acquires state-of-the-art equipment and software; 

and develops operational and work processes.

CREATIVITY IN PROFESSIONAL, BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL SOLUTIONS 

Only the NEW moves us forward. 

Let us do different things in different ways that set us apart! 

Creativity is the pledge of our professional, business and operational progress. There is always a first time in everything we do. That is why we encourage out-of-the-box thinking and initiatives outside our comfort zone.

PARTNERSHIP WITH CLIENTS, COLLEAGUES AND ALLIES 

Over the years, we have learned to understand our clients, to think with them and to find the best solutions together. The relationship between client and contractor is not a simple one, but rather the sum of thousands of human attitudes, sometimes of a friendly nature. 

Together with our allies, we work towards jointly defined values and objectives, while maintaining an honest relationship. 

Together with our colleagues, we make sure to create a community that provides a basis for common understanding and solves problems in a mutually satisfactory way. This is what we call partnership.

BUILDING COMMUNITY AND ORGANISATION 

The basis of our profession is that the organisation is well structured, that everyone is aware of their responsibilities and how to connect with others. 

But that is not enough. We can only get there TOGETHER. We work, create and live together, so collaboration is COMMUNITY. 

We only live once, so we need to make life enjoyable together. 

WE BUILD STRUCTURE INSTEAD OF HIERARCHY 

We are creative engineers thinking together. The creative process cannot tolerate hierarchy, because hierarchy kills creativity and initiative. So at CÉH we build a well thought-out structure with a clear definition of tasks, without superiors and subordinates. No one hurts or punishes anyone here.

EVERYTHING IS MANAGED AND EVERYONE MANAGES 

All our operations and work processes are designed, structured and managed. Everyone takes responsibility for their individual and collective tasks in a way that builds on each other. Therefore, everything is managed and everyone manages. In management, we apply the principles and methodology of coaching.

MANAGEMENT BASED ON LOVE, TRUST AND CONSCIENCE 

The last 30+ years have reassured us that LOVE and TRUST are the most important management principles. We also rely on good conscience. 

In this way we receive love for love, trust for trust and all in all we receive a job well done, fulfilled by a good conscience. 

This is the only way to enjoy working and living together. Our love strategy works.

LONG-TERM STRATEGIC THINKING 

We monitor political, economic and development processes in the world, Europe and our home country. We envision the future based on these trends. We set our goals and improvements within this vision.

"Today's value is tomorrow's opportunity". Let US define our future path instead of being pushed by circumstances.

STRATEGIC MARKET MANAGEMENT 

We monitor and analyse national and international markets in all relevant segments. The market does not come to us, so it is our job to look for opportunities, projects and partners and to tailor our engineering services accordingly. The more markets we manage, the more opportunities we will have in the future.

ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, IDEOLOGICAL AND COMMERCIAL INDEPENDENCE 

A company operating in the market as a business and economic entity has no political or ideological colour. Of course, opinions can vary and differ within the community. We avoid involvement and conflicts of interest at both corporate and individual levels. It is the duty of management to strike the right balance in cooperation and partnership with other companies, individuals and organisations, while maintaining independence. As far as we are concerned, we believe in "If you are too close to the fire, you will get burned. But if you are too far away, you will freeze.

ECONOMIC SECURITY 

The early days of CÉH were marked by constant threats and risks. We learned our financial lessons the hard way, so we know that the basis of our long-term operation is financial security and the provision of reserves. Today we are secure.
