Steel framing and modular construction in Panamá

SmartBrix Construction serves Panamá from Centro Industrial PEB, Las Mañanitas, in Panama City — steps away from the group's CNC plant (NewCon Steel®) at Centro Industrial PEB, Las Mañanitas, Panama City, operated under Panama's EMMA regime (Law 159 of 2020), which allows duty-free import of machinery, raw material and inputs. That proximity defines the operation: the technical and sales team works beside the line where cold-formed steel (LGS/CFS) profiles are fabricated in Zn-Al-Mg 275 g/m² steel, to ±0.5 mm tolerance and with a production capacity of 20,000 m²/month, shortening the loop between design, fabrication, and dispatch.

For anyone building in Panamá, the logistics advantage is direct: your steel framing structure or prefabricated modules are not imported from another continent — they are fabricated in-country and leave the plant for the job site or the port. Flatpack modules travel container-optimized, and the same direct export channel covers Central America and the Caribbean.

The local evidence is already built. In the city, SmartBrix delivered the 2,430 m² Hospital Modular in 30 days — healthcare infrastructure operating within a month — and the 1,100 m² Colegio Bilingüe, executed in 8 phases over 3 months for the education sector, keeping the campus running through phased delivery.

As the turnkey unit of PEB Corp Group, SmartBrix contracts the complete project: BIM design and engineering, fabrication, logistics, civil works, and installation under one contract and one responsible party. The group's backing — 350+ delivered projects, 15+ years of experience, and PEB Corp Group's ISO 9001 · 14001 · 45001 · 37001 certifications — is detailed on our corporate page.
