The Opportunity

Construction is the world's largest untapped market.

Less than 1% of construction workflows are powered by technology. Three key trends are converging—and Ambar is positioned at their intersection.

01
A $156 billion market that is growing rapidly
Brazil's construction sector is projected to grow to $218 billion by 2034 at a 3.8% CAGR, driven by a housing shortage of 5.9 million units and record government spending.
02
A labor crisis with no way out
81% of companies can't find skilled workers. About 1 million workers will retire by 2035 —with no pipeline of replacements. Labor costs are rising at 3.6 times the rate of material costs.
03
Technology is finally cheaper than the problem
AI inference costs have fallen by 90% since 2022. Prefabricated solutions are now cost-competitive with on-site construction. For the first time, the economics have permanently shifted.

Bruno Balbinot and Ian Fadel — Founders of Ambar

Team · Founders

Two operators—
—are building for the long haul.

Ambar was founded in 2013 with a simple premise: the construction industry is too vast, too important, and too far behind to remain as it is. Thirteen years later, we’ve built the operating system, the materials, the prefabrication system, and the contractor—all under one roof, across two countries.

Bruno Balbinot

A complete plug-and-play wall system. Industrialized walls, engineered for any layout—with MEP systems integrated, and five construction phases consolidated into one.
Simple Wall module

Inside the System


. Shipped as a single module.

Every Simple Wall module is manufactured in four integrated stages—from the steel frame to delivery ready for on-site installation—with electrical, hydraulic, and HVAC systems fully integrated before it leaves the factory.

Steel frame
01 · Frame
Engineered steel structure — standard 120 cm with telescopic adjustment

04 · Website-Ready

What We Do

Industrialized walls—
—as a single system.

Simple Wall delivers prefabricated wall modules with electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems fully integrated—replacing five traditional construction phases with a single, seamless step on site. One supplier. One delivery. Multiple trades consolidated into one.

Factory-tested, fully traceable, and engineered to meet the final project specifications. Each module ships ready for installation on-site—the on-site workforce assembles them, rather than fabricating them. The result is consistent quality, on-time delivery, and significantly fewer interfaces between trades.

Five Cycles Merged into One

Installation and drywall-
s streamlined into a single, seamless step.

Conventional construction involves one trade following another—each waiting for the previous one 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 traditional multi-step process—fewer points of contact, fewer delays, and more predictable schedules
Industrial-Grade Quality
Factory-tested and fully traceable. Each module is engineered specifically for the final project—no guesswork on-site, no tolerance variations
CO₂ Negative
Near-zero drywall waste on site doubles the CO₂-negative impact compared to conventional drywall installation methods

System Specifications

Standard module: 120 cm wide, with telescopic height adjustment
Specified on a project-by-project basis: Each module is engineered to the final layout and ambient conditions
100% tested and traceable: Factory quality assurance before any module is shipped to the site
Plug-and-play delivery: Arrives ready for installation — the workforce assembles it, rather than manufactures it
Integrated MEP: Electrical, hydraulic, and HVAC systems all integrated into a single unit

Market Fit

Simple Wall was created to address the two biggest structural challenges in the Brazilian construction industry: the decline in the supply of skilled labor and the relentless rise in labor costs. By industrializing wall construction, Simple Wall transforms a labor problem into a logistics problem—one that 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.

An Ambar Company · United States
The tech-enabled multi-trade contractor. MEP and framing under one roof—from pre-construction to on-site—delivering approximately 50% productivity gains and 25% faster project cycles.

What We Do


-Enabled Multi-Trade Contractor.

Ambar US integrates MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) and Framing under a single contractor—from pre-construction design through final installation. By managing all trades in-house, Ambar US eliminates the handoff delays, coordination issues, and rework that plague conventional multi-subcontractor projects.

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

One contractor, all trades — No handoff delays. MEP and framing under a single contractor
VDC — Problems solved digitally before construction begins. No rework due to clashes or miscoordination
Simple Wall — Walls arrive ready for installation. The workforce assembles them on-site rather than fabricating them there
Batch scheduling — All trades run in parallel batches, not sequential waves

40–50% of the rough-in work is completed before the crew even arrives on site—in dedicated staging facilities that reduce on-site labor and eliminate the need for on-site rework.

How Time Gain Works

Batch scheduling replaces the sequenti
.

In conventional construction, trades are carried out sequentially—with each waiting for the previous one to finish. Ambar runs all trades in parallel batches. The floor cycle is reduced from 40–45 days to 30 days. With the same number of workers, output increases dramatically.

Modular Delivery

From factory to floor—

Wall modules are shipped pre-assembled, factory-tested, and ready to install. No on-site fabrication is required—the crew assembles them, not builds them from scratch.

Full MEP coordination in 3D before crews arrive on site. No coordination issues, no rework due to trade conflicts.

Why Ambar US Commands a Structural Margin Premium

Premium Integration ↑ — Clients pay a premium for a single accountable partner across all trades — no coordination risk
Lower cost base ↓ — Modular prefabrication and batch scheduling reduce on-site labor hours by ~50% compared to conventional methods
The virtuous cycle ↻ — Better NPS (84 vs. industry average of 37) → repeat business → lower acquisition costs → higher profit margin per project. The virtuous cycle reinforces itself
