Integralia: 31 years of construction experience managed with Holded

Integralia Constructora specializes in the construction of passive single-family homes, residential design and renovation, and community space rehabilitation in Barcelona. Josep Bastida, with 31 years of experience in the industry, founded the company after a workforce restructuring in 2010.

What are the main challenges in the construction industry?

Client distrust, stemming from the crises that have hit the sector, significantly complicates business relationships. Additionally, coordinating the many stakeholders involved in construction processes requires careful, advance planning. My advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is to have deep industry knowledge before taking the leap.

How does Holded integrate into Integralia's departments?

Holded works like another team member, facilitating collaboration across departments. The platform connects three critical areas: administration, with invoicing and payment management; the sales department, with opportunities and quotes; and production, with budget control and invoicing. This cross-functional view of our processes is what we value most.

Which features do you use on a daily basis?

Invoicing, quote preparation, and sales opportunity tracking are the tools we use every day. The CRM ensures we never miss an opportunity and lets us follow every project from first contact through final delivery, which is essential in an industry with long sales cycles.
