What Carvajal Polanco & Asocs does

Carvajal Polanco & Asoc. Ingenieros y Arquitectos is a privately held, founder-led civil engineering and architecture firm founded in 1987 by Roberto Carvajal Polanco and headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The firm operates exclusively in the Dominican market and delivers two integrated service lines: (1) comprehensive architectural design packages covering architectural plans, elevations, structural plans, electrical and sanitary plans, landscape design, urban planning, and treatment plant calculations; and (2) civil construction services executed under multiple contract structures — administration, all-cost, and turnkey — including budgets, supervision, topography, road infrastructure, earthwork, and structural design.

The firm's core differentiator is its ability to handle the full Dominican regulatory approval stack (ADN, MOPC, CAASD, MITUR, environmental ministries, cultural heritage inventory) inside a single multidisciplinary engagement, supported by the founder's 35+ years of local experience who personally conducts pre-project feasibility studies. The portfolio spans 940+ projects and 35 urbanizations across five verticals: government (hospitals, public infrastructure), commercial (plazas, retail), residential (single-family homes, towers, condominiums), tourism (requiring MITUR approval), and urban development (zoning, 35 urbanizations).

Revenue mechanics are project-based and one-time per engagement, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The firm engages directly with enterprise clients (government entities, commercial developers, residential clients, tourism developers) via field sales and portfolio-driven reputation, supplemented by active social media presence. The firm is family-operated, with three additional Carvajal family members on the team, and holds no external investors or parent company. It has received the International Star for Leadership in Quality (Gold Category) from Paris and is a member of multiple Dominican and international professional associations including CODIA, CADOCOM, ACOPROVI, SDA, and ICOMOS.
