Building the future of our cities, one project at a time

“With nearly 90 years in the industry, our eyes are set on the future: adding value to the cities where we operate.

We are committed to advancing sustainable construction and to playing a key role in decarbonizing our industry.

We plan and then execute our projects through an integrated system, with innovative designs and cutting-edge engineering and technology solutions. This is made possible by long-standing relationships of trust with our team, our suppliers and our clients.”

Corporate Governance

A company built by all of us

Every project brings together a specialized technical and operations team, both on site and in our control and administrative areas, supporting operations, occupational health and safety, human resources, finance, legal and marketing.

We work within a matrix structure that ensures the DESCO standard across all of our projects, regardless of their location or type.

We want to keep setting the standard in our industry with a strong team and in-house career development, which is why we prioritize training and the well-being of our people.

Our History

We have weathered a world war, several economic crises and a number of earthquakes above magnitude 7 on the Richter scale. Our work has helped shape the fabric of entire cities and neighborhoods across Chile.
