Colegio de Aparejadores de Guadalajara

What Colegio de Aparejadores de Guadalajara does

Colegio de Aparejadores de Guadalajara (legal name: Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores, Arquitectos Técnicos e Ingenieros de Edificación de Guadalajara; trade name COAATIEGU / Aparejadores Guadalajara) is a non-profit professional association constituted in 1977 under Spanish law and headquartered at Calle Capitán Arenas 8, Guadalajara, Spain. It is the statutory regulatory body for Aparejadores, Arquitectos Técnicos, and Ingenieros de Edificación exercising the profession in the province of Guadalajara, with mandatory membership for independent practice and exclusive authority to stamp (visar) professional work. The college operates within a national network of 55 provincial colleges coordinated by the Consejo General de la Arquitectura Técnica de España (CGATE).

Core services are organized for two audiences. For professional members, the college administers membership categories (active, inactive, singular relevance) with annual cuotas, processes Actuaciones Profesionales y Servicios Profesionales (project stamping, safety coordination, construction management, certifications, valuations) exclusively through the COAATIEGU digital Visa Platform, and delivers training via the Activatie platform and AUZALAN shared video-conference infrastructure. It also curates a 1,667-volume library, job placement through four Bolsa de Trabajo categories, legal and fiscal advisory, standard contract/document templates, and professional liability insurance (RCP) through Musaat. For citizens and companies, the college provides a Ventanilla Única, an online professional directory (Listado de Colegiados), and dispute-resolution channels.

The revenue model is a mix of subscription recurring membership fees and transaction fees on stamped acts and equipment rental, with publicly disclosed tariff PDFs for 2025/2026 but no published revenue figures. The college maintains a Quality Management System aligned with ISO 9000/9004, is governed by an Assembly General and Junta de Gobierno, and operates with a 7-employee staff. Its strategic position is defined almost entirely by the regulatory mandate and its integration into the CGATE/Musaat/Activatie/AUZALAN ecosystem rather than by technology differentiation.
