Building materials: what you need to know before starting your project

When we think about building a structure, whether it is a house, a commercial building or a public infrastructure, there is a key question that always appears at the beginning of the process: what are the best building materials? 

At Aceros MAPA, with more than 80 years of experience in the steel industry, we understand the importance of this decision and know that there is no margin for error when it comes to quality and durability. 

Since our inception, we have been dedicated to offering steel solutions that adapt to the needs of the construction market in Colombia and Latin America. 

We know that each project has its particularities, but there is a common point in all of them: the need for materials that provide safety, resistance and efficiency..
