08 · Frequently asked questions

What buyers ask the most.

When should I choose steel framing vs. modular construction?
Steel framing is SmartBrix's primary line — cold-formed steel (LGS/CFS) for permanent buildings: industrial warehouses, schools, hospitals, offices, and housing. Prefabricated modules are the secondary line, ideal when speed and mobility outweigh permanence: camps, temporary classrooms, site offices, and health posts.
What does a turnkey project with SmartBrix include?
A single contract covers BIM design and engineering, fabrication at the group's CNC plant (EMMA · Zona Franca de Panamá), logistics and shipping, civil works from foundations, installation, fit-out, and maintenance. SmartBrix is the single party responsible to the client — no juggling multiple contractors.
How long does a project take?
Modular projects: 60–120 days — up to 90% faster than traditional construction. Steel framing projects: typically 3–5 months from foundations. Real evidence: the Hospital Modular in Panama City (2,430 m²) was delivered in 30 days and Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá (5,500 m²) in 3 months.
How much does steel framing construction cost in 2026?
As a 2026 Grupo PEB Corp reference, industrialized steel structure ranges by project size: approx. 220–260 USD/m² for 500 m² projects, 180–220 USD/m² for 2,000 m², and 150–180 USD/m² for 5,000 m² (structure only, MEP not included). Every turnkey project is quoted by scope: request a technical proposal and get an answer within 48 hours.
Are SmartBrix and PEB Corp the same company?
SmartBrix Construction (SmartBrix Centroamérica S.A.S.) is the turnkey operating unit of Grupo PEB Corp. PEB Corp is the corporate parent — providing engineering and the group plant under Panamá's EMMA regime in Zona Franca — and NewCon Steel® is the steel manufacturing brand. All three operate under the same ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 37001 quality system.
Which countries do you deliver projects in?
SmartBrix has its own offices in Bogotá (Colombia) and Panama City. From the group plant in Zona Franca de Panamá it exports directly to Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala) and the Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Curaçao, Aruba, Trinidad, Jamaica), with designs verified against NSR-10, REP-21, and IBC per jurisdiction.
