Framecrete in Colombia
Seismic-ready, fast-to-build steel-and-AAC systems supporting Colombia's housing and infrastructure needs across its many climates.
Why build with Framecrete here.
Much of Colombia sits in an active seismic zone along the Andes, with a persistent housing deficit and a wide range of climates. Light-gauge steel framing is light and ductile under seismic load, and a non-combustible, moisture-resistant envelope performs from the Caribbean coast to the Andean highlands.
The Framecrete system, built in Colombia.
A proven system, delivered at scale.
Engineered for Colombia
The same system, tuned to what this market actually demands of a building.
Seismic activity
Much of Colombia lies in an active seismic zone along the Andes. Light-gauge steel framing is light and ductile — favorable behavior under seismic load.
Housing demand
A persistent housing deficit calls for systems that scale. Repeatable, industrialized assembly accelerates delivery without sacrificing quality.
Many climates
From Caribbean coast to Andean highlands, Colombia spans a wide climatic range. A non-combustible, moisture-resistant envelope performs across all of them.
Building the Framecrete way in Colombia.
Steel framing + Framecrete AAC.
Two engineered layers: precision light-gauge steel carries the structure, white Framecrete AAC encloses and insulates it.
Intelligent Steel Framing
We use advanced 3D digital models to engineer high-tensile, light gauge steel framing. Each high-strength piece arrives at the site pre-cut, pre-punched, and ready for quick assembly, providing a strong, precise, and flexible structure.
AAC Panels
We enclose the steel frame with large, lightweight Framecrete Autoclaved Aerated Concrete panels. Featuring a patented super-smooth exterior finish, these panels offer excellent insulation while being significantly lighter than traditional concrete.
A complete building ecosystem.
From windows to roofing to finance — the Frame* sub-brands deliver a turnkey building, not just a material.

High-performance floors from a global leader exporting to 56+ countries, designed for lightweight AAC construction.
Everything you're wondering.
Yes. Light-gauge steel framing is one of the recognized technologies within the NSR-10 framework for lightweight construction. We provide structural calculations and technical documentation for permit processing with local Urban Curadurias.
Yes. On the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, AAC regulates heat. In cooler Andean zones, AAC insulation maintains thermal comfort without additional heating. Envelope details are adapted per climate zone — the system is technically flexible across Colombia's diverse climates.
In time, it's up to 40% faster. In structural cost, generally equivalent or lower when accounting for reduced skilled labor and less construction waste. The most significant difference is in seismic performance and long-term thermal efficiency.
AAC has low capillary absorption and doesn't feed mold in high-humidity conditions. Unlike conventional block, it doesn't accumulate water internally and maintains its compressive strength without degrading — suitable for Colombia's most demanding coastal climates.
Yes. Light-gauge steel framing is documented for multi-story construction. In Colombia, where seismic codes are demanding, the inherent ductility of light-gauge galvanized steel makes it appropriate for medium-height buildings in intermediate and high seismic zones.
