Chengdu audit bureau issues risk alert over Glodon cost software; algorithm defects cause duplicate measurement

In July 2025, according to reports, the Chengdu Audit Bureau issued a risk alert letter to Glodon over algorithmic defects and duplicate measurement exposed by its civil engineering quantity calculation software in engineering audits; users also reported opaque fees and software blue-screen issues, and the 'first stock in construction software' is under pressure in its transformation. Previously, in 2017, the final ruling in 斯维尔 v. Guangdong Provincial Department of Education over the department's exclusive designation of Glodon software in a skills competition found that the education department abused administrative power to exclude and restrict competition; Glodon, as a third party, lost (the judgment was against the administrative organ, not a penalty against Glodon). Progress: regulatory notification. Entity: Glodon Company Limited. Scope: Glodon engineering cost quantity calculation software.
