SET-listed developer AP Thailand has rolled out a rapid response initiative to restore consumer confidence in high-rise living following the 6.0-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar on March 28, which was felt in several high-rise condominiums in Bangkok.

AP Thailand moved quickly to address rising consumer concerns around safety and long-term resilience in condominiums—an increasingly critical issue amid growing urban density and ongoing global volatility.

"A crisis is not just something to endure—it's a real-time test of our values," said Kamolthip Bumrungchatudom, Chief Business Group—Condominium (CBG), AP Thailand. "That day, it wasn't just about engineering. It was about human confidence."

Immediately after the quake, AP activated a cross-functional "war room" involving more than 450 employees across 15 departments. The goal: to conduct rapid assessments and issue official reassurances across its portfolio of 82 condominium projects.

In addition to internal checks, AP invited four senior structural engineers from independent academic and consultancy backgrounds to verify building integrity.

The team included Asst Prof Dr Arthit Petchsasithon, Assistant Vice President at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, and Assoc Prof Acting Sub Lt Dr Suppachai Sinthaworn from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Srinakharinwirot University.

Joining them were Chay Sangsawai, a senior professional engineer and senior structural engineering consultant at CS 2190 Co, Ltd, and Kittiphop Prueksakijkajee, also a senior professional engineer and senior consultant at Boulter Stewart Co, Ltd.
