Aparejadores Granada

What Aparejadores Granada does

Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Granada (COAATGR) is the official professional college for aparejadores (quantity surveyors) and architectural technicians in Granada province, Spain. Founded and inscribed in the Professional Colleges Registry of Andalusia on November 7, 2009, it operates as a non-profit professional association under Spain's Ley 2/1974 de Colegios Profesionales, which mandates collegiate registration for legal practice of the profession. The college is affiliated with the national Consejo General de la Arquitectura Técnica de España (CGATE) and the regional Consejo Andaluz de Colegios Oficiales de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos.

The organization's core offering centers on the iColegia/iColegiaCloud digital platform suite, which integrates professional membership management, electronic document certification (i-Visado), training course delivery (Auzalán), and member communication. Supporting services include technical forums covering Urban Planning, Accessibility, and Safety & Health; a public member directory via Ventanilla Única; document verification tools; equipment rental; and the quarterly Revista Alzada magazine. The platform achieved 100% digital visado status in January 2016 under the "Papel cero" initiative, eliminating paper-based professional work submissions.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership dues (cuotas de colegiación), transaction-based visado fees with a 240 EUR annual flat-rate subscription option, and training courses priced between 30-120 EUR depending on member and mutualist status. Additional income derives from magazine subscriptions (12 EUR/year for Cercha), paper documentation surcharges (10 EUR), and ancillary services. The college serves a single geographic market (Granada province) through a small staff of approximately 7 employees, with customer concentration spanning mandatory collegiate members, citizens seeking technical professionals, and Public Administration entities requiring regulatory oversight.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Consejo General de la Arquitectura Técnica de España (CGATE): National umbrella body that sets standards and coordinates all provincial aparejadores colleges including COAATGR; comparable as the broader governing layer that defines the service framework COAATGR executes against.
• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS): International comparable: a chartered professional body for surveyors with mandatory registration, continuing education, and digital credential verification, providing a benchmark for global best practice in self-regulating professional colleges.
• Conseil National de l'Ordre des Architectes (CNOA): Comparable French professional order with mandatory registration and regulated practice for architectural professionals; useful international benchmark for statutory colegio governance and digital credentialing models.

Regional players

• Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Granada (COAG): Regional peer: the architects' college covering the same Granada province but for the higher-tier architecture profession; comparable operating model (membership, visado, training, directory) and a key counterparty given the scope-overlap disputes reflected in the 2026 Supreme Court rulings.

Direct peers

• Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Sevilla: Direct peer: Andalusian sister college offering the same statutory membership, digital visado, and training services within the same regional council as COAATGR; serves as the closest benchmark for shared back-office and pricing.
• Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Madrid: Direct peer: a sister provincial college for aparejadores operating under the same legal framework (Ley 2/1974) with parallel iColegia-style digital visado, training, and member services for Madrid-based building technicians.
• Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Málaga: Direct peer: neighboring Andalusian colegio under the same regional council (Consejo Andaluz), providing an apples-to-apples comparison for membership growth, visado volumes, and training revenue mix.
• Colegio Oficial de Aparejadores y Arquitectos Técnicos de Barcelona: Direct peer: another provincial colegio providing identical membership, digital visado, and continuing-education services to aparejadores in Catalonia, making it structurally comparable for benchmarking platform and pricing models.

Others

• Mutua MUSAAT: Core ecosystem partner: provides professional liability insurance to aparejadores and offers training subsidies that COAATGR channels to its members; directly comparable as a parallel mutualist support organization serving the same profession.

Emerging players

• Auzalán (Formación): Emerging player in the aparejadores training ecosystem; COAATGR hosts the platform as a member benefit, but Auzalán increasingly offers continuing-education content that competes for member training spend and could evolve into a parallel credentialing channel.
