The Opportunity

Construction is the world's largest untouched market.

Less than 1% of construction workflows run on technology. Three structural forces are converging — and Ambar is positioned at their intersection.

01
A $156B market, growing fast
Brazil's construction sector grows to $218B by 2034 at 3.8% CAGR, driven by a 5.9M unit structural housing deficit and record government spending.
02
A labor crisis with no exit
81% of firms can't find skilled workers. ~1M workers retire by 2035 — no replacement pipeline. Labor inflating at 3.6× the rate of materials.
03
Technology finally cheaper than the problem
AI inference costs fell 90% since 2022. Prefab is now cost-competitive vs. on-site. For the first time, the economics have permanently flipped.

Bruno Balbinot and Ian Fadel — Ambar founders

Team · Founders

Two operators
building for the long arc.

Ambar was started in 2013 with a simple thesis: construction is too big, too important, and too far behind to stay this way. Thirteen years later, we've built the operating system, the materials, the prefab system, and the contractor — under one roof, across two countries.

Bruno Balbinot
Founder & CEO
Ian Fadel

Business Unit Leadership

Four CEOs.
One mission.

Each business is run by an operator with deep expertise in its category — backed by Ambar's shared platform, capital, and long-term horizon.

The Long Game

Generational companies take time to build.

The most valuable companies in construction were not built in a cycle. They were built over decades — compounding expertise, trust, and market position with every passing year.

AMBAR · FOUNDED 2013We are 13 years in.

Building the tech-enabled holding that will define construction in Brazil and the US for the next generation — with the patience, depth, and compounding advantage that generational companies are made of.

The companies that defined construction

A complete plug-and-play wall system. Industrialized walls, engineered for every layout — MEP embedded, five construction cycles collapsed into one.
Simple Wall module

Inside the System

Engineered in stages.
Shipped as one module.

Every Simple Wall module is built in four integrated stages — from steel frame to packed-for-site delivery — with electrical, hydraulic, and HVAC fully embedded before it leaves the factory.

Steel frame
01 · Frame
Engineered steel structure — standard 120cm with telescopic adjustment
Insulation
02 · Insulation
Acoustic & thermal — specified per ambient and project
Finished panel
03 · MEP Embedded
Electrical, hydraulic, HVAC — factory-tested before delivery
Packaged for delivery
04 · Site-Ready
Packed and ready to install — workforce assembles, not fabricates

What We Do

Industrialized walls,
as one system.

Simple Wall delivers pre-fabricated wall modules with electrical, hydraulic, and HVAC installations fully embedded — replacing five traditional construction cycles with a single, fluid step on site. One supplier. Single delivery. Multiple trades collapsed into one.

Factory-tested, fully traceable, and engineered to the final project. Each module ships site-ready — the workforce on site assembles, not fabricates. The result is predictable quality, on-time delivery, and dramatically fewer interfaces between trades.

System Layers

Four integrated layers — delivered as one pre-fab module, ready to install in a single site step. Standard 120cm module with telescopic adjustment for every ceiling height and layout.

01
MEP
Electrical, hydraulic and HVAC installations fully embedded into the wall module — factory-tested before delivery.
02
Frames & Supports
Standard 120cm + telescopic adjustment — engineered to fit every layout, every ceiling height on any project.
03
Insulation
Acoustic and thermal isolation specified per ambient and project — no spec gaps, no field improvisation.
04
Finishes
Plates and installation finishes — flush, professional, and paint-ready. No rework. No patching.

Five Cycles Collapsed into One

Installations and drywall
flattened into a single fluid step.

Conventional construction sequences trades one after another — each waiting for the previous to finish, each bringing its own workers, waste, and coordination overhead. Simple Wall eliminates all of that. The same crew delivers more units, faster.

One Supplier
Single delivery replaces the conventional multi-trade chain — fewer interfaces, fewer delays, more predictable schedules
Industrial-Grade Quality
Factory-tested and fully traceable. Every module engineered to the final project — no field guesswork, no tolerance variation
CO₂ Negative
Near-zero drywall waste on site doubles the CO₂-negative impact vs. conventional drywall installation methods

System Specifications

Standard module: 120cm width, telescopic height adjustment
Specified per project: Every module engineered to final layout and ambient
100% tested & traceable: Factory QA before any module leaves for site
Plug-in-play delivery: Arrives site-ready — workforce assembles, not fabricates
Integrated MEP: Electrical, hydraulic, and HVAC all embedded in one unit

Market Fit

Simple Wall was built to address the two biggest structural pressures in Brazilian construction: the collapse of skilled labor supply and the relentless rise in labor costs. By industrializing wall construction, Simple Wall converts a labor problem into a logistics problem — one Ambar can solve.

The system is already deployed at scale across Brazil and forms the backbone of Ambar US's multi-trade model in the United States.

The tech-enabled multi-trade contractor. MEP + Framing under one roof — from pre-construction to site — delivering ~50% productivity gains and 25% faster cycle times.

What We Do

The Tech-Enabled
MultiTrade Contractor.

Ambar US integrates MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) and Framing as a single contractor — from pre-construction design through final installation. By owning all trades, Ambar US eliminates the handoff delays, coordination failures, and rework that plague conventional multi-sub projects.

The model is powered by Simple Wall's prefab system, Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), and Ambar's proprietary batch scheduling approach — a combination that cuts floor cycle time from 40–45 days to 30 days.

One contractor, all trades — No handoff delays. MEP + Framing under single responsibility
VDC — Problems solved digitally before site. Zero rework from clashes or miscoordination
Simple Wall — Walls arrive site-ready. Workforce assembles, not fabricates in the field
Batch scheduling — All trades run in parallel batches, not sequential waves

Off-Site Operations

Pre-fabricate off-site.

40–50% of rough-in happens before the crew ever touches the jobsite — in dedicated staging facilities that compress field labor and eliminate site rework.

How the Time Gain Works

Batch scheduling replaces
sequential waves.

Conventional construction runs trades sequentially — each waiting for the previous to finish. Ambar runs all trades in parallel batches. Floor cycle drops from 40–45 days to 30 days. Same number of workers, radically more output.

Modular Delivery

From factory to floor —
site-ready in one drop.

Wall modules ship pre-assembled, factory-tested, and ready to install. No fabrication on site — the crew assembles, not builds.

Ambar US modular delivery to jobsite

VDC · Virtual Design & Construction

Every clash solved digitally —
before the first nail.

Full MEP coordination in 3D before crews step on site. Zero coordination failures, zero rework from trade collisions.

On the Ground

The Ambar.tech crew —
in the field, every day.

Branded teams, integrated tools, and direct accountability. No subs to coordinate. One contractor accountable for the whole envelope.

Why Ambar US Earns a Structural Margin Premium

Integration premium ↑ — Clients pay above market for one accountable partner across all trades — no coordination risk
Lower cost base ↓ — Modular prefab and batch scheduling reduce on-site labor hours by ~50% vs. conventional
The virtuous cycle ↻ — Better NPS (84 vs industry 37) → repeat contracts → lower acquisition cost → higher margin per project. The virtuous cycle self-reinforces
