Founded in 1984, Engexpor emerged with a clear ambition — to transform the real estate and construction sector. Driven by confidence and the pioneering spirit of our founders, we earned the trust of national and international companies.
Through challenges and with the talent of our people, Engexpor grew within Portugal and expanded beyond borders to other European countries, Angola, Mozambique, and Brazil — a market that has become one of our most significant.
We take pride in this journey, made alongside dedicated professionals who uphold our core values: responsible practices, quality in every project, safety for people, and respect for diversity.
In a dynamic and ever-changing market, we help investors and developers make decisions with confidence by strengthening our Advisory Services. Recognizing the importance of sustainability, we are expanding our Sustainability Area to support clients in achieving their ESG and sustainable development goals.
We are also implementing our own internal ESG strategy to align with organizations seeking sustainable partners in their value chain.
At the forefront of innovation, we embrace technology to accelerate the digital transformation of real estate and construction. By investing in training and BIM solutions, we drive processes that are more efficient, effective, and sustainable.
Our journey began with a clear purpose: to be different and to make a difference. Driven by innovation, we aimed to address the challenges of our industry and clients with fresh solutions.
With Portugal's accession to the European Economic Community, international companies established themselves in the country, and our activity gained momentum in this sector.
We marked our entry with Coimbra Shopping, one of Portugal's first new-generation shopping centres. For more than two decades, we have supported the growth of this industry both nationally and internationally.
We took part in one of Portugal’s most iconic projects, contributing to the construction of World Expo buildings and the real estate developments that followed.
We entered Brazil, a market that has since become one of Engexpor’s strongest. Today, we stand out in large-scale projects across nearly the entire country.
We continued to expand internationally, participating in key reference projects in Mozambique over several years.
Our international journey continued with Angola, where we contributed to significant projects and established a solid presence that endures to this day.
We entered the Romanian market, followed two years later by Italy and Spain, supporting the development of multiple shopping centres.
With a slowdown in Portugal's real estate market, we accelerated our operations abroad, consolidating Engexpor as a leading international group.
Our investment in Brazil solidified our position in one of the company’s most important markets, ensuring steady growth in the years that followed.
Engexpor played a key role in transformative projects reshaping Portugal’s urban landscape. Sectors such as residential, rehabilitation, offices, hospitality, and healthcare took center stage.
We launched a profound renewal of Engexpor, driving growth by expanding into new sectors, such as energy and airports, and diversifying our services to better support clients.
We unveiled a refreshed brand identity reflecting modernity, innovation, and closer engagement with our audience. We enhanced working conditions, inaugurated the first phase of our renovated Lisbon office, and launched MySite, a platform connecting our teams across multiple countries.
Attentive to the future of real estate and construction, we have created new services. In the area of Environmental & Sustainability Advisory Services, we are helping our clients grow sustainably, adding value to their business. With the reinforcement of Technical & Urban Advisory Services, we support the decisions of investors and real estate developers in an increasingly demanding market context. We have implemented solutions, digital applications, and BIM tools, through which we are helping companies respond to the challenges of technology and innovation and contribute to transforming the real estate and construction industry.
Responding to global trends, we expanded into key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, infrastructure, and Data Centers — areas that will play a pivotal role in our future. We also completed the second phase of our Lisbon office renovation and modernized our São Paulo office.
This year marks four decades of achievements. Stronger than ever, we remain committed to a path of sustainable growth and innovation, building the future together with our clients, teams, and partners.

There is a gr owing focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility in the construction sector. Our clients are looking for companies that can demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices and offer solutions to minimize the environmental impact of their pr ojects. Not integrating sustainability into our services would mean missing opportunities, but above all we want to be agents of change and contribute to the green transition of real estate and construction.
Thus, it is Engexpor's priority to incorporate environmental considerations into inspection processes, defining specific guidelines to ensure that works are carried out responsibly and sustainably, driving new environmentally conscious construction practices.
We are responding to these challenges by strengthening the Advisory and Environment Department , whose support in monitoring the projects we have in hand grows day by day.

Growth and diversification are the main challenges that currently influence the industrial and logistics sector in Portugal . There is a substantial increase in the number of new projects under development, covering more a nd more sectors, in a process that resembles a "re - industrialization" of our country
Engexpor can help respond to these challenges by placing its long experience in the sector, the growing multidisciplinarity of its teams and its scale, at the service of the developer and each of the projects , whether it is executed from scratch, an expansion, or simply a renovation.
One of Engexpor's great distinguishing factors is the wide range of specialised services that the company provides , such as technical audit s, licensing advice, project development and management of the various specialties, construction supervision, environmental advice, BIM modelling and commissioning management. Combining all these skills will be an asset as we are selected to participate in many of these new projects that are on the horizon of our country.

Bruno Matos
IT & BIM Manager
“I can't choose the most striking memory at Engexpor, but the most rewarding are, without a doubt, following a work from the first hole to the last finishing detail and observing the final product completed and the Customer satisfied.”
“If I had to describe Engexpor to a new employee, I would tell him that it is a human company, a second family. But above all, where any dedicated and concerned professional can evolve in their career.”
“Engexpor participates in really interesting projects and that's what made me join this company. However, what makes me stay in it is the fact that there is recognition and appreciation of its employees - seeing them as an integral and fundamental part of its growth - and the clear intention to continuously boost their progress, easily adapting to the demands of the market.”
“Without a doubt, the most gratifying memory was the first work in which I was involved with our company: Shopping Vasco da Gama. Not only for what we achieved in such a short time, but above all with the whole team, that is, ours, the contractor and the owner. I have no doubt in choosing this work, due to the demand, size and where I had the most remarkable experience.”
“Engexpor is a company that has ethics at its core, which values good customer service, doing the best for the project, often not caring if it is its scope or not. It's a great place to learn and teach. And this company culture is important.”
“I look at the future of Engexpor with admiration and respect. Being part of this story and this great family is gratifying and I feel motivated to contribute to "my" better every day, because I receive it from Engexpor. It is a company with impeccable Mission, Vision and Values, where humanization and respect for its employees come first."
“I see Engexpor as a serious, committed, organized company with a great work environmen t, which is always looking for organizational improvements, especially with the implementation of the Mysite platform, ISO - 9001, ISO - 14001 and ISO - 45001 certifications and modernization of its visual identity. All these changes have a positive influence on the performance of our activity.”
“Engexpor contributes with its technical expertise to make projects viable, bringing all the necessary rigor so that these projects are not only executed with excellence, but also comply with all the necessary standards and specifications. Engexpor's perfor mance is not limited to the projects for which it was contracted. The excellent work developed in a project helps the client to incorporate good practices and to evolve together with the manager.”
“Engexpor is a company tha t is not limited to a specific sector, which allows the employee to acquire technical knowledge in various areas, making the day - to - day much more dynamic, challenging and stimulating. I value the scope of work combined with good interpersonal relationships within the company.”
“Engexpor is a family, a group of friends, a team that wears the jersey with honor and pride, which makes its customers' goals its own. And that grows! She is also a materializer of ideas, projects and works. In addition to the experience and solid presence in the market, the company is a house that lives from the people who make it up and, for this reason, values them.”
“Being part of the Engexpor team is being at home, a humanized company that listens to you, understands you and helps you solve any adverse situations.”
“The construction market has evolved and Engexpor has consolidated a very important foundation, which is the management and coordination of projects. If today a work is not done withou t Project Management – a situation that took a few years to materialize – to a large extent this was a path opened by Engexpor, which together with large customers created this unavoidable and indispensable 'figure' and 'role'. Engexpor provides a service that stabilizes the Promoter - Contractor relationship, which enhances the quality of the final product, being a key piece in the balance between the interests of customers and the executing entities.”
"My most striking memory is the trust they gave me in the first project I embraced in this company. I had just completed my course, but Engexpor did not hesitate to assign me a project where I was the only resident on site. Participating in this project, with the great support of my colleagues, allowed me to have the opportunity to learn a lot and to solidify the concepts I brought from college."
How is innovation and technology at Engexpor improving the service provided to customers?
Throughout its history, Engexpor has always been attentive to the evolution of the construction sector, especially in project and construction management. This trend has been accentuated in recent years with a strong focus on the organization and systematization of processes, as well as through innovation. Examples of this are MySite, the BIM area and also the continuous training of its employees.
We are sure that this bet was the right one, translating into an improvement in our services, not only by standardizing processes, but mainly by optimizing resources.
At this time, all the information of all our projects can be accessed quickly and easily, both by our teams and by other stakeholders. And these benefits have been evidenced by our customers, which motivates us even more to improve in this area.
The investment in new technologies, innovation and training will always be a pillar for the success and differentiation of our services.
