The firm

Exceptional buildings start with the structure

Galindo Ingeniería

Gala Residences is the construction company of Galindo Ingeniería (Galindo Construcciones), the Bolivian firm that since 1960 has engineered the structures of the country's most demanding projects: high-rise towers, domes up to 140 meters in diameter and more than 650 projects in Bolivia, Chile, Spain and the Netherlands.

That legacy defines the way we build. Every Gala residence is conceived, engineered and built under the technical direction of Dr. Eng. Mario Galindo Queralt, Ph.D. Cum Laude from UPC Barcelona. The result: homes and buildings that do not just look exceptional, they are built to last for generations.

02

Architecture and interiors

Architectural design, interiors and custom-made fittings with QALA ARQ, our partner studio.

03

Structural engineering

Seismic-resistant design and optimization by the firm behind more than 650 projects: the heart of every Gala residence.

04

Plumbing systems

Drinking water, sewage and stormwater networks designed and installed with in-house engineering.

05

Electrical systems and home automation

06

Construction and supervision

Turnkey execution with the firm's engineers on site through every phase, until handover.

QALA ARQArchitecture · Interiors · Furniture

Gala Residences is an alliance of specialized firms led by Galindo Ingeniería, responsible for the structure, the construction and the management of the project. QALA ARQ is the partner firm for architecture, interiors and furniture: beyond the design, they manufacture the complete fit-out of every space (countertops, built-in and modular furniture, doors, skirting and every interior detail). Over time we add other partner firms to cover further specialties, always under one contract and one management.

The process

Every phase, engineered before it is built

The difference between building and building well lies in multidisciplinary coordination: architecture, structure and building systems resolved in a single model, so that everything is decided before the first brick is laid. This is how we present every project, in a 3D viewer you explore phase by phase: land survey, soil study, architecture, structure, plumbing and electrical systems, and finishes.

Buildings that already bear our name

Construction is where the firm began. Mario Galindo Rojas, its founder, built three major works that still stand and are in use today: two churches and an Olympic swimming pool.

The vision

How we understand a residence

Exposed concrete, stone and wood: architecture designed for the climate and light of Bolivia, with the structure as the protagonist.

Why Gala

The builder born from engineering

In-house engineering

Structural engineering is never subcontracted: the same firm that has engineered more than 650 projects signs the structure of your residence.

Structural optimization

Efficient structures that save material without giving up any safety: a signature specialty, applied to every project.

Permanent supervision

The firm's engineers on site through every phase. Quality is not inspected at the end: it is supervised every week.

One single responsibility

Design, engineering, construction and turnkey handover under one firm: a single point of contact from start to finish.

Our promise

A no-cracks guarantee, in writing.

Only those who engineer the structure can sign it. We engineer it, we build it and we stand behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Before you build

It is the home and residential tower construction company of Galindo Ingeniería (Galindo Construcciones), a Bolivian structural engineering firm founded in 1960. Under the Gala brand we build high-end homes and residential towers in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and La Paz, backed by more than 650 engineered projects.

Every project is different: the cost depends on the site, the design and the finish range you choose. We work with four ranges: Essential, Comfort, High and Signature. Write to us by WhatsApp or email and our engineers will prepare an estimate for your project and range, at no cost.

It depends on the client's needs and the size of the project. We work with multidisciplinary BIM coordination: architecture, structure and building systems are planned in a single model, which lets us set realistic schedules and keep them. Every schedule is approved with the client before construction starts and is supervised weekly.

The whole process with one accountable company: land survey and soil study, architectural design and interiors with QALA ARQ, structural engineering, plumbing and electrical systems, home automation, permits, construction, supervision, custom fittings and furniture, and a move-in ready handover. You have a single point of contact from start to finish.

Yes. We build projects designed by external architects, always with our own structural engineering and supervision, or we develop the complete project with QALA ARQ, our partner architecture and interiors studio. Either way, the structure is signed by Galindo Ingeniería.

Every Gala project is handed over with a written no-cracks guarantee. We can sign it because the structure is engineered, built and supervised by the same firm, under international seismic codes and with 60 years of structures still standing.
