The team that signs off and answers for it. Not a call centre.

When you call, you speak to the person who signs off your project — not a screening call. Our team has 9 years in professional practice in structural engineering, built in Colombia, and an active registration with the Ordem dos Engenheiros in Portugal. We work remotely for the whole country and travel when an inspection requires it.

Our brand

Real engineering, no improvisation.

We were born from the conviction that a building isn't made with promises — it's made with a design, calculations and a technical lead who puts their name to it. Every structure we touch goes through the Eurocodes, a BIM model and the signature of an engineer registered with the Ordem dos Engenheiros.

We built that track record — 9 years of structural engineering — in Colombia, a high-seismic-risk country. After the magnitude 7.4 earthquake of 10 August 2026, we published more than 40 post-earthquake structural assessments, case by case (see the assessments, in Spanish). For Portugal we bring the same team and the same rigour: serious calculations and a fixed price.

Why Portugal: since 2019, many refurbishment works require a seismic vulnerability assessment of the building (Portaria No. 302/2019), and under the SIMPLEX reform the câmara no longer reviews the stability project — it accepts it on the responsibility of whoever signs it. At the same time, people buying a home from abroad expect a trustworthy professional who speaks their language and doesn't inflate the price. That's the gap we want to fill, with the same calculation discipline as always.

The asset almost nobody else in Portugal has

Dual registration: Ordem dos Engenheiros + COPNIA. Two professional bodies standing behind the same signature.

Eng. Jhonatan Jiménez and Eng. Catalina Delgado are registered with the Ordem dos Engenheiros (Portugal) and COPNIA (Colombia). Calculations are always under the Eurocodes — the dual registration is an extra guarantee of professional ethics and accountability, not a different technical standard.

Calculations under the Eurocodes, no exceptionsEvery project is calculated using the Eurocodes, the standard in force in Portugal. Dual professional registration is an extra guarantee of ethics and accountability, not a second calculation standard.
Accountable to two professional bodiesThe signature is bound by the professional ethics of two countries. That's a guarantee of seriousness that an unregistered technician cannot give you.
International mindset, a team close to youThe same level of engineering as a European firm, with an engineer who answers you directly — no call centre.
The team

The people who will be accountable for your project

When you call, you know who you're talking to. When something needs signing, it's an engineer registered with the Ordem dos Engenheiros who signs it.

Eng. Jhonatan Jiménez — Head of Engineering at CRÉER, registered with the Ordem dos Engenheiros
Jhonatan Jiménez
Civil Engineer · Ordem dos Engenheiros member no. 99515 + COPNIA
He looks at the crack, the leak in the roof or the wall you want removed — first from photos and plans, then on site when needed — and tells you the truth, in writing. The same signature backs the design for an entire building: 9 years calculating safe structures, from flats to large developments, registered with the Ordem dos Engenheiros (Portugal) and COPNIA (Colombia).
Eng. Catalina Delgado — BIM Manager at CRÉER, registered with the Ordem dos Engenheiros
Catalina Delgado
Civil Engineer · BIM Manager · Ordem dos Engenheiros member no. 99962 + COPNIA
Before a builder touches a single wall, she already knows what's hidden behind it — pipes, wiring, deteriorated beams. The same technology she uses on a flat renovation is what she coordinates across entire buildings, leaving no room for costly surprises. Registered with the Ordem dos Engenheiros (Portugal) and COPNIA (Colombia).

Check us before you hire us. Eng. Jhonatan Jiménez is member no. 99515 and Eng. Catalina Delgado member no. 99962 of the Ordem dos Engenheiros — both numbers are public and can be confirmed through the Ordem’s member search. Professional profile: LinkedIn.

CRÉER has no building crew of its own: the works go to the contractor you choose. We do the design, sign the termo de responsabilidade and, if you wish, provide site supervision — so that what was calculated is what gets built.

The 4 principles we sign up to

These aren't slogans. They're clauses in every contract.

Anyone can say "quality and commitment". We put it in writing and pay out if we fail to deliver.

1 · One firm is accountable

We don't subcontract calculations or design out. Everything is carried out in-house, and technical responsibility rests with registered engineers (Ordem dos Engenheiros + COPNIA), under a single legal signature.

2 · Zero surprises on site

A BIM model before the first brick, exact quantities and clashes resolved on screen. If the budget rises because of us, we own it. In writing.

3 · Direct access to an engineer

No call centre, no assistants filtering your call. When something needs a technical decision, you speak to an engineer from the team in under 2 working hours — WhatsApp, phone call or video call.

4 · Technology without pretence

BIM and modelling are tools, not marketing. If your project doesn't need them, we'll tell you. If it does, we deliver at the level of international firms — without inflating the cost.

Credentials

Authority you can verify

We don't ask for blind trust. We put the credentials on display — and the legal responsibility in writing.
