  • BUSINESS-REPORT-2.Pdf
    BUSINESS REPORT Kalam is the builder with the best ratings given by the Spanish State for public tenders for building rehabilitation and restoration and the conservation of Artistic Heritage. With nearly 30 years in the business, we have performed restorations recognized and rewarded by professionals and managers of architectural heritage, such as interventions in the cathedrals of Sigüenza, Santiago de Compostela, Sevilla, Almeria, Cuenca, Cádiz, etc., and we have worked continuously for various dioceses of the church and for such solvent companies as those of the insurance sector, who only put their property in the hands of qualified companies that offer them the best guarantees. From our beginnings it has been a priority to have a roster for the company comprised of highly qualified and trusted professionals: Fine Arts graduates, restorers, teachers of traditional building trades specializing in the work of lead, zinc, wood, and the reproduction of architectural items, mortar coverings, etc., led by highly trained and experienced technicians. With our company in Chile, we have an Operating Unit with equipment and our own restoration workshop to service and support restorations in Latin American countries in which we are not located, currently restoring, among others, the Poplar and Cousiño palaces in Santiago or the Palacio Rioja in Viña del Mar, and in Cuba, the former Palace of Velasco Sarrá, current Embassy of Spain in Havana. Our technical team and managers are exclusively focused with the intent to direct the attention of our work to civil and religious monuments through public tenders, as well as with economic groups, including some already established clients such as Zurich, Generali, Mapfre, Catalana Occidente, Caixa, Banco Santander, Telefónica, General Electric, etc.
