Activity: Construction Chamber
Date of creation: 1962
The main strategic goal of the Construction
Chamber of Quito is to contribute to the national
development and human welfare by promoting ac-
tivities within construction and infrastructure sec-
tors of Ecuador.
The history of the Chamber began in the mid-60s
and until today it continues ensuring integrity of
its member companies. The Chamber is mainly
financed by its members that include all the major
construction and real estate companies, as well
as those dedicated to distribution of construction
materials and machinery. Several years ago, the
Chamber has started negotiating with foreign con-
struction companies interested in coming to Ec-
uador to participate in important construction and
infrastructure projects.
The Construction Chamber is also actively in-
volved in the promotion of the Real Estate sector
in the country that has a lot of opportunities due to
the availability of credit financing provided by local
banks. Within the Tourism Sector, the Chamber is
developing numerous projects to build new hotels
all around the country. In the Energy Sector, it is
involved in developing strategies for the construc-
tion of power stations, as well as infrastructure for
projects with the sector of Renewable Energies.
The Construction Chamber of Quito is strength-
ening its contribution to the national development
through its pioneer projects, as well as through
forums and seminars. One of the pioneer projects
in Ecuador is the plan of housing for construction
workers to be implemented with the support of
the Ecuadorian Housing Bank and the Ministry of
Housing.
“We are always willing to help companies with the
technology so they can reach international stand-
ards to make them participate in international pro-
jects, as in the case of high-potential companies
producing construction materials.“
Eng. Hermel Flores
President of the Chamber of Construction of
Quito
