Arquima

What Arquima does

Arquima (legal entity ARQUIMABALEAR S.L.) is a Spanish privately held construction firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Abrera (Barcelona). The company designs and builds industrialized timber building envelopes using a light wood framing system (entramado ligero de madera) certified to Passivhaus and LEED standards. Production relies on BIM-driven digital design via Cadwork software and CNC-controlled factory manufacturing, with approximately 60% of construction work executed in factory conditions and the remainder assembled on site, yielding claimed construction timelines that are roughly 50% shorter than conventional building methods. The portfolio includes single-family homes, multi-family residential buildings, public sports facilities, and senior living residences, with the Casa Sant Andreu 3 project notable as the first dwelling in Europe to achieve dual Passivhaus Premium and 5-leaf VERDE GBCe certification.

The firm operates a Design and Build model in which a single contractor assumes responsibility for both architectural design and construction execution, supported by six staffed regional offices covering Central (Barcelona/Abrera), Levante (Dénia), Norte (Tudela), Baleares (Manacor), Andalucía (Granada), and Ibiza+Formentera. Customer segments are architects and architectural firms, developers and property promoters, individual homeowners, public administrations, and healthcare/senior living operators. Pricing is project-specific with no publicly disclosed rate cards, and revenue is generated through one-off construction contracts rather than recurring fees. The company holds additional sustainability credentials including PEFC and FSC wood-chain-of-custody certification and AECI industry association membership, and is positioning ahead of the European Construction Products Regulation (CPR) 2026 with Environmental Product Declarations.

The business is founder/management-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or international expansion; operations are entirely within Spain. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, consistent with a regionally distributed but relatively lean industrial construction operation. Distribution is direct-to-client via the regional offices, complemented by content marketing (blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) and participation in industry events such as the AECI Forum on Industrialized Construction.
