¿WHAT WE DO IN CONSTRUCTION?
The construction industry has long been a cornerstone of economic and social development, continuously evolving through technological advancements, innovative methodologies, and a growing focus on sustainability. With over 30 years of experience, MAGNA CONSTRUCTION has made a significant impact in this sector, transforming the way projects are designed, built, and managed—both in the United States and internationally.
OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN CONSTRUCTION
Founded in 2005, Magna Construction specializes in disruptive projects—from custom residential builds to complex structures such as French Timber Framing and Scribing. In 2006, Magna became the first Latino-owned company in Virginia’s capital to adopt Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Our portfolio includes the restoration of historical monuments, the design of hybrid construction processes like the Malazi Project for Haiti, and the integration of BIM with sustainable building practices in partnership with SDC.
In 2016, Magna became the first Latino-certified construction company in the U.S. in Lean Construction. Through our division, Civil Control USA, we implemented cutting-edge monitoring technologies using BIM, drones, and 360° imaging.
Since 2017, we have led the Texas Hispanic Construction Association, advocating for innovation and equity in the industry. In 2019, Magna co-founded the Bootcamp Under Construction in Spanish with Lone Star College, and with IT4 Construction, organized the first-ever technology summit for Hispanic contractors, bringing together over 7,000 participants.
EXPERIENCE
MG BUILDERS- CUSTOM HOUSE
"Timber frame," "post and beam," and "oak framing" are different terms used to describe the same traditional heavy timber construction system. It is a comprehensive woodworking technique used to build solid wood structures and buildings without the use of nails or steel reinforcements—100% wood. The system relies on a series of joints, assemblies, and techniques ranging from a simple mortise-and-tenon joint to a complex five-piece connection, all of which must consider the compressive and tensile forces acting on the structure.
The techniques used in timber frame construction have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. They are based on precise layout systems that follow consistent principles and construction rules. The main difference today is the use of portable power tools, which allow for faster and more efficient fabrication.
Timber frame buildings are typically designed by experienced carpenters or specialized designers who understand, through practice, what will work both structurally and aesthetically. The beams used are often intentionally oversized—a defining characteristic of this construction style—which contributes to the system’s distinctive appearance and enhances the building’s strength and longevity.
