Pioneers in lightweight construction systems
At Arquitectura y Concreto we always work under the principle of trust, which is why we strive to improve our processes every day to always give you the best quality in our buildings.
In Colombia, we are pioneers in construction with lightweight walls, something we achieved through hard work, since from our beginnings (30 years ago) we have implemented modern construction systems.
Learn step by step how we revolutionized our construction processes while maintaining high quality in each of our projects based on the lightweight construction system.
Implementing drop ceilings
Our first step toward these construction systems was implementing drop ceilings or false ceilings, a type of finish that improves the appearance of ceilings inside apartments or houses in any type of building, allowing for a wide variety of aesthetic designs.
The advantage of this technique is that it blends harmoniously with any interior design style, making it easy for owners to perfectly match their furniture with additional elements such as textures or lighting.
Improving finishes with dry plastering
Seven years ago we began replacing conventional plaster (a mix of water, sand, cement and additives) with dry plastering, installing gypsum boards on masonry walls, which allows us to improve the appearance and reduce cracking in the final finish.
With this process we contribute to sustainable construction by reducing the consumption of water and of materials from mineral extraction such as sand and cement, creating warm, high-quality spaces.
High-strength lightweight walls
The latest step we've taken toward modern construction systems is lightweight walls, which we've been building for 2 years as an excellent option for new projects.
The lightweight walls consist of a galvanized steel frame to which gypsum or fiber cement boards are fastened on both sides, chosen according to their characteristics or final use.
This technique meets construction standards and codes, and it has become very popular in the construction industry thanks to its efficiency.
Throughout all these years we have strived to keep the quality of our projects high, constantly training our employees and ensuring professional teams with the best innovative techniques for the construction sector.
