How can I join?

CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING

Participating with a group of coworkers for 2 or 3 days in the construction of homes or classrooms in a community is an enriching experience. In addition to construction work, volunteering includes integration activities that encourage teamwork, promote leadership among employees, cultivate a sense of social responsibility and strengthen cohesion among collaborators from different areas.

ACADEMIC VOLUNTEERING

By joining forces, students and teachers can raise funds for the construction of houses and collaborate together on their construction. They will actively participate in the construction for 2 or 3 days, forming part of a representative group of the school. This volunteering not only encourages teamwork and social responsibility, but also contributes to the development of social skills and strengthens the sense of community in the school environment.

VOLUNTEERING FOR GROUPS OR FAMILIES

Joining a group of friends or family to participate in construction for 2 or 3 days is a meaningful experience. This act of volunteering offers the opportunity to confront the current reality of Mexico, allowing one to appreciate what one has, cultivating a sense of community, encouraging teamwork and promoting social responsibility among participants.

Projects

Regístrate como Voluntario Construyendo

Our volunteers are people who commit to a family or community to build a project that may be aimed at housing, education or some special project.

Construction system Covintec

Covintec has been designed to provide the best construction solution for your project. From the variety of solutions to the details of the products, we've designed them to generate savings in time, materials, and energy. All this without compromising the strength and durability of the construction.

When fixed with wire of the same type, they form meshes on each side with a 5 cm grid and inside these frames a core composed of expanded polystyrene is incorporated that will act as thermal and acoustic insulation of 44db.

This structure combined with the application of mortar gives it an ideal structural capacity to form load-bearing walls with great capacity, facades with high resistance to inclement weather and any type of impact.

Thermal and Acoustic Insulation

Thermal insulation

Having thermal insulation can make a big difference in terms of energy efficiency, comfort and long-term costs.

  • Energy Efficiency: One of the main benefits of the products. Covintec is its high R-value, where we can measure the thermal resistance of the material. With an R-value of 16.0 for a 4-inch thick polystyrene insulation, it far exceeds the R-value of 7.87 that you get with an 8-inch-wide cinder block. This means that Covintec offers almost twice the resistance to heat transfer compared to concrete block.
    • Confort Térmico: With Covintec Polystyrene reduces temperature fluctuations and maintains heat during the cold months, and coolness during the warm months.
  • Reduction of Energy Costs: Build a house with Covintec can reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by 20% to 40% compared to traditional cement block construction.

Acoustic insulation

When considering insulation in home construction, not only thermal insulation is crucial, but also acoustic insulation. Choosing Covintec  can have a significant impact on quality of life, comfort and cost efficiency compared to traditional cement blocks.

  • Acoustic Efficiency: Polystyrene, especially its closed cell structure and density, helps to reduce the transmission of sound from one environment to another. This is particularly beneficial in areas where you want to minimize outside noise, such as in urban environments or near roads.
    • Improved Quality of Life: Good sound insulation contributes to a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment. By using products Covintec, impact noise, such as footsteps on the floor above, is reduced, as well as airborne noise, such as conversations or music. This results in a more pleasant space to live and work in.

High quality in construction by:

DURABLE

Panel walls and ceilings Covintec Being made of concrete, steel and self-extinguishing polystyrene, they have great resistance to weather, fire, hurricanes and earthquakes.

EASY

No specialized labor or special tools are required and it allows for self-construction. By solving walls, slabs and details with a single material, material planning is simplified and waste is minimized.

LOWER COSTS

COMFORTABLE

The panel Covintec With its polystyrene core, it is an excellent thermal, acoustic and moisture insulator, which means that buildings are warm in cold climates, cool in hot climates and quiet against noise from the street and other rooms.

FAST

It is built in less than half the time of traditional systems.
