01 · PEB Corp Group

The construction unit of PEB Corp Group.

Three brands, one quality system: PEB Corp provides the structural engineering and BIM design, NewCon Steel® manufactures the cold-formed steel at the group's CNC plant, and SmartBrix Construction contracts and delivers the complete project. SmartBrix Construction is not a block or brick manufacturer; it builds steel buildings.

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 (NewCon Steel®, Las Mañanitas · EMMA regime), 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 (11,500 m²) in 100 days.
How much does steel framing construction cost in 2026?
As a 2026 PEB Corp Group 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 (steel structure only, MEP and civil works not included; Panama 2026 reference). Every turnkey project is quoted by scope: request a technical proposal: reply within 24 business hours and technical proposal in 48 h.
Are SmartBrix and PEB Corp the same company?
SmartBrix Construction (SmartBrix Centroamérica S.A.S.) is the turnkey operating unit of PEB Corp Group. PEB Corp (Pre-Engineered Buildings Corp, S.A.) is the group parent: structural engineering, BIM design, institutional relations and the export gateway. NewCon Steel® (NewCon Steel Corp.) is the manufacturer of cold-formed steel (LGS/CFS) profiles, panels and structural kits at the group's CNC plant in Las Mañanitas, Panama City, under the EMMA regime — it does not build buildings. 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 Las Mañanitas, Panama City 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-2021, and IBC per jurisdiction.
