The Construction Development Corporation Limited (CDCL) has its genesis in the erstwhile Mechanical Division of the roads department under Ministry of Works and Human Settlement (MoWHS). On July 1, 2006, it was delinked from the ministry to function as a self-sustaining commercial unit. Three years later, on December 7, 2009, CDCL was incorporated under the Companies Act of the Kingdom of Bhutan, 2000. Thereon, it became a full-fledged state-owned enterprise. A major shift in the company came when, after five years of operations as a state-owned enterprise, it joined the many companies under Druk Holding and Investments (DHI) in January 2015 to become a part of the country’s investment arm.

With the change in ownership, CDCL was required to amend its registration and Articles of Incorporation (AoI) under the Companies Act. The company’s board and the management felt the need to review the existing Corporate Strategic Plan (2014-2018) to assess and ensure its conformity to the new AoI. It was then decided that the CSP be redone using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) method as detailed in the subsequent sections of this document.
