Quasar

What Quasar does

Quasar is a Mexico City-based structural engineering firm operating as Quasar CFS, S. de R.L. de C.V., providing professional structural design and consulting services for commercial, residential, hospitality, healthcare, corporate, and infrastructure projects. The firm is organized around three service pillars — Performance, Resilience, and Sustainability — and positions itself as a pioneer in seismic control technology in Mexico, deploying buckling-restrained braces (BRB), friction pendulum base isolators, viscous fluid dampers, and energy dissipators to protect structures during earthquakes. Its core service offering spans executive project development, technical consulting, nonlinear analysis, structural reinforcement, safety evaluation, on-site supervision, and value engineering, with QUASAR SEISMIC CONTROL as a branded specialty.

The firm's technology stack is built on a Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology integrating Autodesk REVIT for 3D modeling and MIDAS Gen for structural analysis, enabling nonlinear analysis methods that support up to 25% material reduction in designed structures. To date, Quasar claims over 500 seismic control devices designed and installed, and more than 1.5 million square meters of structural design completed. Notable projects include two 20-level residential towers at SLS Cancun, the 90,000 m² Hotels Dreams & Secrets in Punta de Mita (featuring 412 friction pendulum isolators), the ISEM oncology institute in Ecatepec (with BRB system), the Nissan (NRFM) corporate campus in Aguascalientes, and a vehicular underpass for the Gobierno del Estado de México.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees on quote-based, project-specific engagements, with clients including real estate developers (primary segment), government entities, corporate/industrial clients, and property owners seeking seismic evaluation. The firm employs 11-50 people, maintains a single headquarters in Benito Juárez, Mexico City, and acquires work through direct client outreach, website inquiries, WhatsApp, and professional referrals — with no disclosed digital marketplace presence, resellers, or external investors. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership transitions are disclosed in available material.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Executive Development of Structural Projects Comprehensive structural engineering project development service covering planning, analysis, structural design, and issuance of construction documents for execution of commercial building projects. Targeted at developers, corporations, and government entities requiring end-to-end structural engineering for new construction.
• Technical Consulting for New Project Execution Advisory services during early project planning stages to guide structural solutions toward optimal safety and economic outcomes, provided to developers, architects, and corporations at the conceptual stage of new construction projects.
• Nonlinear Structural Analysis Advanced structural analysis methodology service enabling safer and more efficient structural designs through innovative nonlinear analysis methods, applied to commercial projects in seismic zones.
• Structural Reinforcement Studies and Projects Specialized proposals for practical and safe reinforcement solutions for existing structures with deficiencies in design or construction, provided to property owners and operators of aging or non-compliant buildings.
• Structural Safety Evaluation of Buildings Resistant capacity analysis of existing structures using advanced analysis methods to objectively assess current structural condition, targeted at property owners requiring seismic vulnerability and compliance assessments.
• On-Site Structural Supervision and Consulting Construction-phase structural supervision and consulting service providing proactive, real-time solutions during execution, targeted at developers and construction firms requiring on-site technical oversight.
• Value Engineering Proposals Alternative structural engineering proposals using practical and efficient solutions with quantitative material analysis to support client decision-making on cost-effective structural alternatives.
• QUASAR SEISMIC CONTROL® Seismic Control Design Pioneer seismic control design service in Mexico integrating devices such as mass dampers, energy dissipators, viscous fluid dampers, buckling-restrained braces (BRB), and base isolators (e.g., 412 friction pendulum isolators on Hotels Dreams & Secrets) to protect structures from earthquake damage. Targeted at developers and government entities needing seismic-protected buildings in high-seismicity regions of Mexico.

Direct peers

• INGEOTEC: Mexican engineering firm focused on seismic and structural engineering consulting, directly comparable to Quasar in seismic design methodology, specialty device integration (isolators, dampers), and similar Mexican real estate, government, and infrastructure client base.

Broad incumbents

• SENER Grupo de Ingeniería: Large Spanish-headquartered engineering group with significant Mexican operations delivering infrastructure, energy, and structural engineering. Overlaps with Quasar on large-scale structural design for industrial and public-sector clients in Mexico but competes on a much broader multidisciplinary scope.
• IDOM: Spanish engineering consultancy with established operations across Latin America including Mexico, providing structural, civil, and industrial engineering services. Comparable in Mexican market presence and ability to deliver seismic-resistant designs for infrastructure and buildings.
• Arup: Global engineering firm widely regarded as a leader in seismic engineering and structural design. Competes with Quasar for premium seismic-design mandates on hotels, hospitals, and corporate headquarters in Mexico but operates at vastly larger scale and across many geographies.
• WSP: Global engineering consultancy with substantial operations in Mexico across buildings, transportation, and environment. Overlaps with Quasar's structural design services for commercial and institutional buildings, particularly large mixed-use and hospitality developments.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with Mexican operations delivering buildings, transportation, and water infrastructure. Comparable to Quasar on large-scale commercial and institutional structural design but competes as a full-service incumbent on bundled tenders.
• TYPSA: Spanish engineering group with active Latin American operations, providing structural, civil, and environmental engineering. Comparable to Quasar on cross-border structural design capability for transportation and building projects in seismic regions.
• Mott MacDonald: Global engineering consultancy with structural and seismic design capabilities and presence in Mexico. Competes with Quasar on infrastructure and building design mandates, particularly for public-sector and large developer clients.
• Buro Happold: Global specialist engineering consultancy renowned for structural engineering and sustainability-focused design. Comparable to Quasar in advanced structural analysis (including nonlinear methods) and in targeting complex, high-performance building projects.
