Colegio de Arquitectos de la Provincia de Córdoba

What Colegio de Arquitectos de la Provincia de Córdoba does

The Colegio de Arquitectos de la Provincia de Córdoba (CAPC) is a nonprofit professional association (colegio profesional) established in 1986 under Ley Provincial N° 7192 of the Province of Córdoba, Argentina. It holds the statutory mandate to regulate the exercise of architecture in the province, operating a federated structure of six regional offices (Regionales 1–6) and more than twenty delegaciones that together cover Córdoba Capital and the interior of the province. The College serves more than 8,000 registered architects (matriculados) organized into fee categories (M1 active, M3 employed, M6 affiliated, M2 retired, M7 recent graduate), with a Consejo Superior as executive governing body and a Tribunal de Ética for professional discipline.

The College's core offerings are organized around a unified digital platform, Autogestión (autogestioncapc.com.ar), through which members manage matrícula, pay habilitación fees, register professional tasks, and access an expanding suite of proprietary tools. The most material technology products are the Libro de Obra Digital (LOD) mobile app used by more than 3,000 professionals for legal-grade construction project documentation; the Calculador de Materiales and Cómputos y Presupuesto modules developed with the Instituto de Estadísticas y Costos (IEC); the Atlas Dinámico de Envolventes (314 envelope examples across 19 constructive families, 7 dynamic energy variables); the Simulador de Performance Edilicia predictive sustainability tool; and "Arqtificial," a proprietary generative AI assistant launched in March 2026 and built on the institutional knowledge of registered architects. The College also operates 11 specialized institutes covering cultural heritage, sustainable architecture, statistics, planning, peritajes, bioarchitecture, health/safety/environment, and housing.

The College's revenue model is fundamentally a regulated subscription: members pay an annual habilitación (M1 in two cuotas, M3/M6 in a single cuota), one-time matrícula fees, and task-based aportes calculated on a per-square-meter reference value (ARS 589,000 effective October 2025) that funds both the College and the mandatory Caja de Previsión Ley 8470. Ancillary revenue comes from bundled civil liability insurance through Sancor Seguros, exclusive BANCOR credit lines, professional contests (Concursos) with cash prizes, continuing education programs, and the Bolsa de Trabajo job board. Distribution is hybrid: six physical regionales plus delegación offices, Autogestión web portal, four mobile apps, and active social/digital content (Arquitextos publication, Arquipodcast, regional Instagram/Facebook/X/YouTube accounts). The most recent published balance is Ejercicio Contable N° 39 (Sept 2023–Aug 2024), reflecting the institution's commitment to financial transparency.
