Broad incumbents

• Sacyr: Diversified Spanish infrastructure and services group with concessions and construction operations throughout Latin America. Competes for the same large public-infrastructure tenders (highways, hospitals, transmission) that anchor EDICA's pipeline.
• Acciona: Global infrastructure and renewable-energy group with Latin American construction and concessions exposure. Overlaps with EDICA in large-scale civil, public-infrastructure and nonresidential building projects across the region.
• OHLA (Obrascón Huarte Lain): Spain-based global construction group with significant concessions, civil works and building exposure in Latin America (notably Mexico). Overlaps with EDICA on nonresidential building and large public-infrastructure tenders in the region.
• Empresas ICA: One of Mexico's largest infrastructure and construction groups, with a portfolio spanning heavy civil, industrial, commercial and government projects. Comparable to EDICA in the Mexican market where EDICA is a smaller entrant.

Direct peers

• Aldesa: Spanish construction group with active concessions and building operations across Latin America. Closely comparable to EDICA in size, vertical mix (industrial, commercial, institutional) and reliance on public-sector megaprojects.
• Construnorte: Costa Rican general contractor active in commercial, residential and institutional construction. Competes head-to-head with EDICA for mid- and large-scale private and public-sector building projects in the Costa Rica market.
• Constructora H. Solís: Costa Rican construction firm with deep road, highway and infrastructure expertise that also competes for the same public tenders and private enterprise projects as EDICA, including large government contracts across Central America.
• Constructora Meco: One of Costa Rica's largest general contractors with a similar mix of infrastructure, commercial, industrial and government work. Directly comparable to EDICA in customer base (Costa Rican government, enterprises) and project types (roads, buildings, large civil works).

Regional players

• Aenza (formerly Graña y Montero): Peruvian infrastructure, engineering and construction group historically active across Latin America. Comparable in scope (engineering, construction, real estate services) and customer base (government concessions, industrial, commercial) to EDICA's vertically integrated model.
• SalfaCorp: Chilean construction and engineering group with a domestic market position analogous to EDICA's Costa Rica franchise (engineering, construction, real estate). A useful proxy for unit economics and growth trajectory of a regionally dominant contractor.
