What COTPA does

COTPA (legal name CONSULTING TÉCNICO PATIÑO SLP) is a privately-held Spanish professional services firm delivering integrated engineering and architecture services in Galicia, Spain. Founded approximately 1999–2000 and operating under an SLP (Sociedad Limitada Profesional) structure, the firm runs from its registered headquarters in Vigo (Pontevedra) and a secondary office in A Coruña. It serves enterprise and mid-market clients across industrial, commercial, and residential segments, with all disclosed engagements located within the Galician region. The firm is bootstrapped, founder-controlled, and shows no external institutional investment.

The company operates two core service lines. The Engineering line covers industrial construction projects, new installations and modifications, permit and license processing, procedure management, structural pathology assessments, and property valuations. The Architecture line covers commercial projects, building rehabilitations, documentation and administrative procedures, and ITE (Technical Building Inspection) certifications. Its underlying technology is conventional professional services methodology — there is no proprietary software platform, AI/ML capability, or technology product disclosed. Featured projects include the Escuela Infantil Mos nursery school (€800K), the Fandicosta refrigeration facility (€12M, 14,000 m²), an Amazon logistics warehouse (€1.7M, 6,500 m²), and Farmacia Salvaterra (€140K), demonstrating capability across a range of scales and industrial verticals.

COTPA generates revenue through project-based professional services fees with a sales-led go-to-market relying on direct client engagement, reputation, and referrals. Pricing varies materially by project scope and type, with disclosed industrial project budgets ranging from €140K to €12M. The firm has earned industry recognition including XIV and XVIII Premios COAG, Premio AR from the Xunta de Galicia, and Premis FAD. Its only disclosed institutional partnership is participation in the EU Next Generation EU Kit Digital program for digital transformation funding. The firm maintains no public listing, has no disclosed subsidiaries or parent entities, and shows no M&A, venture funding, or leadership-change activity in the available data.
