Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Málaga (COAAT-Málaga, also branded Aparejadores Málaga) is a public law corporation (corporación de derecho público) and the official professional college for architectural technicians and building engineers in the province of Málaga, Spain. Inscribed in the Registro de Colegios Profesionales de Andalucía in October 2009, it is a constituent member of the regional council CACOAAT and the national council CGATE. Membership is statutorily required to practice the profession, giving the college a closed and regulated member base of practicing aparejadores and arquitectos técnicos.

Its core product is the Portal del Colegiado, a digital members portal (colegio.coaat.es) accessed via FNMT digital certificate, providing electronic visa processing (visado electrónico), training enrollment (Formación Interna/Externa), document management, and a single-window administrative service (Ventanilla Única).

The college also organizes professional conferences, training workshops (free for members), and cultural events including the annual Summer Concert with the Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra.

The business model is membership-fee funded: annual colegiación dues (with a free first year and €15 joining fee for recent graduates, and a €180 re-entry fee for returning members), supplemented by revenues from publication group purchases (Precio Centro pricing database), discounted third-party services, insurance commissions, and ancillary fees for cultural activities and space rental. Distribution is regional (Málaga province) through two physical offices (Málaga HQ at Paseo del Limonar and a Marbella satellite) plus the digital portal. The college is not venture-backed, not PE-owned, and not publicly listed; governance rests with a Junta de Gobierno accountable to its registered members.
