DICOBE: Engineering That Builds the Future and Protects Guatemala’s Heritage

Before a structure takes shape, there is an idea, a plan, and a decision that can define the future of an investment. In Guatemala, DICOBE supports that process through engineering, experience, and comprehensive solutions.

With more than 28 years of experience, the Guatemalan company specializes in civil engineering, design, and construction for residential, commercial, hospitality, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Its experience includes more than 500 completed projects, while over 15 heritage restoration projects form part of a track record defined by technical control and specialized expertise.

The company was initially driven by engineer Victor Berdúo and currently includes the participation of engineer Kelly Berdúo and engineer Keneth Berdúo.

As a family-owned company, DICOBE brings together engineers, architects, and trained specialists whose expertise is applied to projects that require planning, precision, and technical oversight.

DICOBE: Experience That Turns Projects Into Reality

Every project begins with an assessment that examines needs, risks, scope, and technical feasibility to establish an appropriate course of action.

The process then moves into a structural diagnosis that helps define solutions, costs, and timelines. Technical planning transforms those decisions into drawings, calculations, and execution strategies, while construction is supported through site supervision and project control.

This approach seeks to maintain technical standards, quality materials, and compliance with established objectives throughout the execution process.

Through this comprehensive model, DICOBE offers clients the possibility of centralizing different stages of a project with a specialized engineering and construction team.

Structural Engineering and Heritage Restoration

One of the areas that distinguishes DICOBE's experience is the restoration and maintenance of existing buildings, where each intervention begins with a structural assessment.

Its solutions include structural reinforcement, crack repair, settlement and moisture-related damage, as well as waterproofing, façade conservation, and the maintenance of roofs and coverings.

For heritage projects, DICOBE uses materials compatible with original construction systems and specialized techniques aimed at preserving the architectural value of the buildings involved.

Its experience includes churches, convents, historic centers, and protected properties, as well as seismic vulnerability assessments applied to older structures.
