Comprehensive Projects
We apply our expertise to the study, management, and execution of rehabilitation and restoration projects and energy efficiency upgrades, offering specialist advice at every stage: diagnostics, financial viability, technical solutions or alternatives, always seeking the best solution and a successful outcome.
Over 37 years, our company’s team has carried out widely recognized and award-winning restorations, over 40 of them on historic buildings and ensembles designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
In Spain we have restored many of the finest buildings in the historic centers of such cities as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville or Toledo, and magnificent cathedrals such as those of Santiago de Compostela, Seville (where we have been working for eight years), Sigüenza, Toledo, Cuenca, Tudela, Coria, Cádiz, or Almería, as well as monasteries, convents, and other religious buildings.
We have deployed our expertise in the rest of Europe in the rehabilitation and restoration of historic buildings in countries such as France, Portugal, Italy, or Switzerland. From our offices in Lisbon and Paris, we have worked in their urban centers and on such iconic buildings as the Palace of Versailles or the Pompidou Center in Paris.
In Chile we have an operational center with a multidisciplinary team giving support to work in several Latin American countries. As well as working on the most notable Chilean heritage conservation projects, including the rehabilitation of the palaces of Vergara in Viña del Mar and of Pereira in Santiago, we have renovated the Palace of Velasco Sarrá, the current Spanish embassy in Havana, Cuba, or the Cathedral of Santo Domingo – the Primate of America – in the Dominican Republic.
We are also working on the preservation of architectural heritage in the United States. From our New York office and Miami branch we are restoring facades, interiors, and special features of public, residential, and religious buildings, including several projects in the states of New York, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
We have worked continuously with reputed institutions and companies such as the insurers Zurich, Generali, Mapfre, Catalana Occidente, etc., the Bank of Spain, Santander Bank, Telefónica, General Electric, Kennedy Wilson, or the largest business group in the retail sector, owner of the most extensive portfolio of historic buildings worldwide. Such heritage owners put their properties into the hands only of firms offering the highest guarantees.
This is possible thanks to our own staff of highly qualified and reliable employees: fine arts graduates, restorers (with various specialties, such as mural painting or sculpture), and masters of traditional building trades, such as specialists in lead and zinc, woodwork, reproduction of architectural elements, stuccos, sgraffiti, etc., overseen by highly trained and experienced technicians.
Through our Project Support Department, we work with architects and teams of heritage specialists, furnishing them with rigorous, timely reports providing added value to building conservation. Thus we have drawn up proposals for the restoration of heritage in Georgia, Uzbekistan, and other parts of the world, along with turnkey projects such as the full restoration of the Helder Neto Institute performed for the Angolan Fisheries Ministry, a logistical challenge with a large portion of new construction.
We, the professionals forming the team of KALAM GLOBAL, remain committed in every project to earning the appreciation of the owners of public and private buildings and to contributing to upgrades that will enhance their value.
