Over the past 50 years Norte has built all kinds of projects: public and private constructions, hotels, large commercial areas, restaurants, petrol stations, among others.
"The incorporation of the younger generation brought fresh air into a company that already had quite a long history. Young people bring not only new insights and knowledge but also technological change. With them we rapidly gained access to those changes".
"It was important to reject projects that we felt we would be unable to implement properly. We preferred to say no. It is important to know when to say 'no'. This implies responsibility because we know we will be unable to do things correctly".
"The founders conveyed the importance of the concept of ‘effort’ as a value. They are austere, they do not squander because it cost them a lot to achieve this. We view their sacrifice as an example".
"We stand out for our personalised attention. We can be contacted directly at any time of the day. We are deeply involved with every project and if and when issues arise we feel as if they were our own".
"Both of the founders are very hard workers, they are true examples. I admire their personality, their professionalism, values, transparency, and their correct manners. Norte has become what it is, thanks to how conservative they were at the time and the low-key attitude they have always had".
"The founders instilled in us the concept that Norte always fulfils its commitments, and that when there is a lot of work, when the company grows too much, it is important to know when to say ‘no’ in order to be able to fulfil the existing commitments".
"What clients value most is honesty. We might make a mistake, a task might turn out right or wrong, but we are honest. I cannot control every single person who works for the company. But if something is done badly, we repair it".
"Architects Boix and Pérez Morgan were my classmates at the School of Architecture in the 1970s."
"The most remarkable thing about Norte is that it is a family-owned business; one can speak with the owners and everything is more direct, less bureaucratic"
"One feels reassured when working with Norte because, compared to other companies, fewer errors occur, and if so, they are corrected"
"The first project we did with Norte was in Montevideo in 2009 and what caught our attention most was their organization and cleanliness at the construction site."
"Worth highlighting are Norte’s assets: their construction fleet makes you realise that this is a company capable of dealing with any type of construction project, regardless of the deadline or size"
“THE PROJECTS THEY BUILT OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS, WITH THE SEA AS AN ALLY, ARE FAR MORE THAN THE MERE HISTORY OF A BUSINESS, THEY ARE, ABOVE ALL, A FAMILY HISTORY”
