Constructora Vilicic S.A.

What Constructora Vilicic S.A. does

Constructora Vilicic S.A. is a privately held Chilean construction and infrastructure company founded in the early 1980s and headquartered in Punta Arenas, in the Magallanes Region. It operates as a full-service general contractor executing roads, bridges, airports, hydraulic and port works, prefabricated concrete elements, asphalt paving, aggregate production, architectural builds, hydrocarbon site preparation, and metal structure installations. The company is the only construction firm with a physical branch presence in all five provinces of the Magallanes Region (Punta Arenas, Puerto Williams, Puerto Porvenir, Puerto Natales, Cerro Sombrero), and operates the only hot-mix asphalt production plant in the region.

The company's technology base is built around a modern, owned heavy-equipment fleet including a WIRTGEN concrete paving unit acquired from Germany in 1999 (capable of paving widths from 3.5m to 7.4m), jaw, impact, and cone crushers with automated configuration, aggregate washing and screening systems, automated joint-sealing equipment, concrete and asphalt plants, and a prefabricated concrete element manufacturing line. This vertical integration allows the company to self-supply aggregates, concrete, and asphalt across multiple provinces simultaneously. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification audited by DNV-GL Business Assurance and is registered in First Category across 22 specialties of the Chilean Ministry of Public Works (MOP).

Vilicic generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts — competitive public tenders with Chilean government agencies (MOP, MINVU, regional municipalities, defense and naval bodies) and direct private-sector engagements with hydrocarbon exploration firms (ENAP, Geopark), industrial companies (Bakkavor Chile S.A., Almaint, EPA, METHANEX, COCAR), and retailers. Secondary revenue streams include surplus aggregate and material sales to third-party contractors in the region and equipment rental services, including out-of-region rentals of the WIRTGEN paving unit to northern Chilean contractors. Pricing is determined through tender processes for government work and negotiated quotations for private-sector contracts; no public pricing schedules are disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Public Infrastructure Contracts: Revenue generated through competitive public tenders from the Ministry of Public Works (MOP), Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MINVU), regional municipalities, and other government bodies in the Magallanes Region. Contracts cover roads, bridges, airports, hydraulic systems, ports, and public buildings.
2. Private Sector Construction Contracts: Construction services contracted by private companies including hydrocarbon exploration firms (ENAP, Geopark), mining companies (COCAR), methanol producers (METHANEX), industrial companies (Bakkavor Chile S.A., Almaint), and port operators. Revenue is project-based and contracted directly.
3. Aggregate Sales to Third Parties: Continuous aggregate production to meet internal contract demand also results in surplus production sold to other companies in the region, creating a secondary revenue stream from construction material supply.
4. Equipment Rental Services: The company rents its heavy equipment (including the WIRTGEN paving unit and related machinery) to external parties. The paving unit has been transported to northern Chile for rental services to other contractors.
