Welcome to caribe

Building the future, faster and smarter

At Caribe Building Systems, we believe construction can be done better: faster, more sustainable, and fully tailored to the needs of the user. With our prefab building system, we deliver high-quality, hurricane- and earthquake-resistant buildings in a short time that will last for decades. Transparent in cost, creative in design, and flexible in use – we combine technology and innovation with an inclusive approach that strengthens local communities.

What we do – and what we don’t

Caribe Building Systems (CBS) is not a traditional builder, but an innovative building concept.
We don’t do the actual building ourselves, but we provide you with:

The design

Custom homes, tailored to your needs and local context.

The materials

Our primary building materials: lightweight steel, prefab concrete panels, foam concrete, and innovative coatings.

The process

Guidance and quality control, planning, and transparency, from design to delivery.

The actual construction is carried out by reliable local partners who work according to our standards and values. This way, we combine innovative technology with local expertise, giving you a home that is sustainable, strong, and future-proof.

What makes us DIFFERENT

Transparent

Predictable quality: Prefab concrete and steel components are produced in controlled conditions, ensuring reliable and consistent quality.
Clear costs: Thanks to standardization and prefab construction, costs and timelines are easier to estimate → no surprises afterward.
Maintenance benefits: Steel and concrete are durable and require fewer unexpected repairs, offering transparency in maintenance costs.
Transparent design process: From the first sketch to execution, every step is communicated clearly, keeping everyone involved.
Fast construction & reliable planning: Prefab systems mean short, predictable build times → faster delivery with fewer risks of delay.
Inclusive process: Clients, architects, and local partners are actively involved in design and construction, so all interests are represented.

Sustainability

Long lifespan: Concrete and steel last for decades, even in tropical climates.
Weather-resistant: Withstands hurricanes, humidity, and other extreme conditions.
Lower maintenance costs: Fewer repairs needed → reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Energy efficiency: Foam concrete and thermal mass help keep buildings cool, reducing energy use.
Lower emissions: Prefab production and energy-efficient buildings mean a smaller CO₂ footprint compared to conventional construction.
Inclusive construction: Affordable quality housing for a broad group while creating local jobs.
Lower TCO: Maintenance, energy, and social value make our system both more sustainable and cost-effective.

Tailor-Made & Creative

Flexible design: Prefab elements allow variations in thickness, finishes, and colors, giving each project its own character.
Architectural freedom: Concrete panels enable multiple façade finishes (plaster, brick slips, paint), offering fully customizable looks.
Co-production in design: Client, architect, and builder collaborate from the first sketch → technically feasible and personal designs.
Smart material use: Foam concrete combines lightweight construction with thermal insulation, enabling innovative layouts.
Steel + concrete combination: Allows shapes and structures difficult or expensive with traditional methods.
Innovation & circularity: Waste materials can be reused as secondary raw materials, enhancing performance and circularity.
Inclusive designs: Custom and creative solutions can meet the needs of diverse groups, like seniors or people with limited mobility.

Adaptive

Climate adaptable: Thermal mass and insulation make buildings suitable for tropical climates.
Scalable: From small houses to large buildings – the system grows with demand.
Expandable: Modular character allows for easy future extensions.
Resistant to natural forces: Steel + concrete = hurricane and earthquake protection.
Fast transformation: Quick-build methods make it possible to adapt or extend buildings when needs change.
Inclusive adaptability: Homes can be adjusted for life-cycle living or collective housing needs.

Our Guarantees

At Caribe Building Systems, we believe a project is only truly successful when clients feel confident in quality, clarity, and care. That’s why we provide guarantees:
