Framecrete in Mexico
Industrialized steel-framing and AAC construction for Mexico — engineered for seismic activity, hurricane exposure on two coasts, and housing demand at national scale.
Why build with Framecrete here.
Mexico's combination of active seismic zones, hurricane-exposed coastlines, and a deep national housing deficit calls for a building system engineered for all three. Framecrete pairs ductile light-gauge steel framing with non-combustible AAC — built to perform under seismic load, withstand high winds, and deliver housing at the speed and scale the market demands.
The Framecrete system, built in Mexico.
A proven system, delivered at scale.
Projects delivered
200+
Framecrete structures completed across the Caribbean and Latin America — from private homes to commercial complexes.
Years of AAC
100
Autoclaved aerated concrete has been trusted worldwide for over a century, now engineered for tropical conditions.
Lighter than block
3×
Lighter structures mean lower foundation costs and simpler logistics on any site.
Faster to build
40%
A precision system that cuts build times roughly in half versus traditional methods.
Engineered for Mexico
The same system, tuned to what this market actually demands of a building.
Seismic activity
Much of Mexico sits along active fault lines and subduction zones. Light-gauge steel framing is light and ductile — favorable behavior under seismic load.
Coastal hurricane exposure
Both the Pacific and Gulf coasts face regular hurricane seasons. Engineered steel framing and dense AAC are specified for high-wind resilience.
Housing at scale
A persistent national housing deficit calls for systems that scale. Repeatable, industrialized assembly accelerates delivery without sacrificing quality.
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.
Light-gauge steel framing absorbs and dissipates seismic energy better than block or traditional concrete. Unlike rigid systems, galvanized steel is ductile — it flexes without collapsing. The system complies with NTC-Sismo standards and has been specified for high-seismic zones.
Yes. The galvanized steel structure is engineered for sustained Category 5 winds. AAC panels are mineral-based, won't warp with moisture, and the full envelope can be anchored to hurricane-zone specifications for both Atlantic and Pacific exposure.
AAC has a thermal insulation coefficient several times greater than concrete block. In warm climates — coast, Bajío, Yucatán — it keeps interiors cooler passively. In colder highland climates, it retains heat. It reduces HVAC consumption in both cases.
Yes. The system is documented to comply with the Reglamento de Construcciones and Normas Técnicas Complementarias. We provide structural calculations and technical specifications for permit processing with local authorities.
The galvanized steel we use has coatings specified for saline environments. On the Gulf and Pacific coasts, where humidity and salt are constant, the system maintains its structural integrity without additional treatments — unlike conventional steel or timber.
