What Soler does

Soler is a Chilean project engineering firm headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago, specializing in structural engineering, seismic design, BIM-based 3D modeling, and multidisciplinary project coordination. Founded in 1970 with over 50 years of continuous operation, the firm serves construction companies, real estate developers, government entities, industrial operators, healthcare organizations, and educational institutions across Chile. The firm's project portfolio spans industrial plants, commercial buildings, hospitals, educational facilities, and civil works including airports and cultural centers, with notable clients such as CCU, CMPC, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de Chile, Eurocorp, Komatsu, Carozzi, ENEX, and various government agencies.

The firm's core technical offering is built around Building Information Modeling (BIM) using established engineering software platforms ETABS, REVIT, and TEKLA for structural analysis, 3D reinforcement modeling, and multidisciplinary coordination. Soler offers ten distinct service lines: multidisciplinary engineering, structural engineering and seismic design, 3D modeling, seismic vulnerability assessment of non-structural elements per NCh 3357, seismic isolation system design using elastomeric isolators, independent structural review (as first-category OGUC-registered reviewers valid for all project types and sizes per Chilean building code), engineering for existing structure interventions, advisory on preliminary project structuring and competitive bids, BIM coordination, and project quantity takeoff (cubicación). The firm has designed over 11 million square meters of construction across its history, with work tested by multiple real earthquakes given Chile's high-seismicity environment.

Soler operates a project-based professional services model, engaging directly with project owners (mandantes), architects, construction companies, and developers from project inception through final reception. The firm employs approximately 40 specialized engineering professionals and conducts business through direct enterprise sales, with pricing on a per-project basis determined by scope and complexity rather than published rate cards. The company has no disclosed external funding, operates as a privately held firm with no parent company, and relies on professional reputation, portfolio referrals from architects and developers, and direct engagement for business development rather than active marketing campaigns. Its geographic footprint is domestic to Chile, with no disclosed international activity.
