Partly True
Daewoo E&C has publicized a 90% reduction in work time, a headline number that has circulated through images posted on the builder's website and a graphic carried by Chosun Biz. The figure is the company's own assessment, produced by the same organization that announced it, and the scope of the reduction runs wider on paper than in practice. The time savings are real, but they fall short of the blanket 90% framing.
Every path behind the claim leads back to Daewoo E&C. The 90% figure appears in materials published on the company's website, and it was carried further by Chosun Biz, which relayed the company's framing to a wider audience. No outside party — an auditor, an industry body, or a government agency — has put forward an independent measurement of the time savings. The claim therefore rests on a single source: the company that stands to gain from announcing it.
The reduction is not fabricated — work time did fall in the tasks Daewoo E&C describes. But presenting the gain as a flat 90% cut overstates how much of the work it covers, and the company's own evaluation is the only evidence behind the size of the number. Read narrowly, the claim reflects a genuine efficiency gain; read broadly, as a across-the-board 90% saving, it stretches beyond what the record supports. Until an outside measurement bears out the figure, the 90% should be treated as a company benchmark rather than an established result.
On that record — genuine savings, a scope that runs ahead of the evidence, and a number only the company itself has measured — Daewoo E&C's 90% work time reduction claim is Partly True.
