Every year, 66% of the Latin American population moves into self-built houses. For low and middle income families, professional services are inaccessible, resulting in structurally flawed homes and overspending. LA FIRME makes architectural and engineering services affordable by breaking down the full professional service into small units that families can access at their own pace through our digital platform. We complement these services with a digital record of their home and an educational component to increase their construction knowledge.
