Our philosophy
To build is a challenge; a complex undertaking that cannot and should not be done without the right tools. Among other things, it’s necessary: To have a firm grasp of the target in sight; assemble the right team and set things up so it’s efforts are coordinated; to foster cooperation through assertive leadership; monitor, control and communicate the progress; certify the craftsmanship and quality of materials and supplies, and to promote an effective and transparent management... This whole process is to be validated from the technical, legal, political, economical, financial, environmental, business, cultural and safety perspectives.
To provide advise and to help you balance these activities in order to get the project done, is the goal of a good construction management team. To do this employing IT tools that will provide you with fresh information, allowing you to make timed, well informed business decisions, that’s BFC Arquitectos’ specialty.

Control Total de Obra CTO* Sistema Dinámico de Supervisión (Construction under Total Control – A Dynamic Supervision System)
Control Total de Obra or CTO is what we call our exclusive construction coordination and supervision system. It’s not a software, but the sum total of our efforts, knowledge and general industry expertise, with an arrange of IT tools we have developed over the years and implement in our daily work to achieve optimal performance in providing our clients with the best possible service. Through the use of CTO, you can have year round 24 hour fresh information relevant to your development. Thus giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your investment is on the right track, or else, will point out the deviations and the reasons behind them, enabling you to make timely assertive decisions with the confidence of being well informed.
How does CTO work
Events are happening at the construction site on a daily basis, be it the submission of a progress bill, the release of a bill of quantities, the arrival of an equipment, and even the workforce that shows up for the day, etc. Typically, that information is filtered, stored formatted and then gets reported monthly, bi-monthly or weekly at best. The major drawback with this system is the tardiness for critical information in reaching the hands of the project’s decision makers.
Our system relies on relational databases installed in our servers, where clients, designers, contractors, suppliers and, of course our on-site supervisors are constantly loading each project’s diverse information. The database is managed and controlled by us and it’s internet accessible 24/7 by those with the appropriate credentials. These are assigned depending on the role each one plays in the project for safety reasons. This way the project’s information is updated and readily available by the participants. By utilizing this data, we are able to provide up to date meaningful business intelligence to our clients, on such matters as budgeting, financial and physical progress, workforce size, quality control, construction safety degree, etc.
If you are interested to learn more about CTO, please visit http://www.bfcarquitectos.com/index.php/empresa/control-total-de-obra for more information, or send an e-mail to [email protected]. We will be very happy to assist you.
