What Técnicas Innovadoras de Construcción - TIC does

Técnicas Innovadoras de Construcción (TIC) is a Bogotá-headquartered modular construction firm founded in 2015 that industrializes building delivery in Colombia through Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) as its core structural system. The company prefabricates structural components in controlled factory environments and assembles them on-site, coordinating the workflow through BIM-based digital pre-construction and Steel & Build structural design software. TIC targets four customer segments: government housing programs (Fondo Adaptación and Min Vivienda–Fiduagraria), educational infrastructure, urban residential developers, and commercial/institutional clients such as Tienda ARA, Hotel Dann Carlton, Constructora Bolívar, Serena del Mar, and D Corp/Arroz Diana.

TIC's value proposition centers on a claimed 40% reduction in execution time versus traditional construction, millimeter-precision prefabrication, and—most distinctively—specialized logistics for difficult-access territories where conventional builders cannot operate economically. These capabilities include fluvial, multimodal, and manual transport methods (donkey and shoulder carry) for areas lacking road infrastructure, exemplified by delivery of 678 stilted ("palafíticas") housing units in the flood-prone La Mojana region. Across its portfolio TIC claims over 100,000 m² executed and more than 2,500 housing units delivered since inception.

TIC operates on a project-based revenue model with custom pricing, engaging clients directly through a website contact form offering a 24-hour initial technical response. Contracts are multi-year fixed-price arrangements with multi-month to multi-year delivery cadences. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and a lean 13-person team of engineers, architects, and logistics specialists. Geographic operations span at least eight Colombian departments, with Antioquia representing the most recent documented expansion beyond the historical Caribbean-region stronghold.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Regional players

• Amarilo: Major Colombian construction company focused on large-scale housing developments (VIS/VIP); comparable as a regional competitor for the same Min Vivienda-style affordable housing programs TIC serves.
• Conconcreto: One of Colombia's largest construction and engineering firms, active in housing, infrastructure, and commercial projects; comparable as a Colombian construction contractor competing for similar government and developer contracts.

Emerging players

• Boxabl: US-based modular home manufacturer using factory-built foldable steel-framed panels; comparable as an emerging industrialised residential construction player, though focused on the US single-family market rather than Latin American rural housing.
• Plant Prefab: California-based custom modular home builder using factory prefabrication and design-driven workflows; comparable in industrialised construction approach and BIM-enabled custom delivery, though serving the US market.
• Vinco Modular Builders: US-based modular construction firm specializing in large-scale commercial and multifamily buildings using off-site manufacturing; comparable as an emerging industrialised construction peer, though serving a different geography.

Direct peers

• FRAMECAD: New Zealand-based global supplier of LGSF design-and-build technology and machinery, and a direct functional peer given TIC's reliance on the same LGSF system and use of Steel & Build / equivalent design software for cold-formed steel framing.
• ATCO Group: Canadian modular buildings manufacturer delivering workforce housing, schools, and remote-site structures; comparable to TIC's modular prefabrication model for housing, education, and institutional projects in difficult-access locations.
• Modulaire / Algeco: European leader in modular space rental and permanent modular construction for schools, offices, and workforce housing; comparable business model serving education and institutional end-customers through factory-built modules.

Broad incumbents

• Saint-Gobain: Global building materials giant with light steel framing and dry construction systems through brands such as Placo and ISOVER; comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping lightweight steel framing solutions to construction markets.
• Kingspan Group: Global building envelope and insulated panel leader with growing modular and structural steel framing offerings; comparable to TIC at the building-system level, though Kingspan operates at vastly greater scale and across many more geographies.
