The National Government of Ecuador established as a public priority the integral development of the children in Ecuador with the early stimulation and good nutrition. To ensure the compliance of this policy, the strategy used is the construction of the Children’s Centers of Good Living, social housing units, health centers, hospitals, pedestrian bridges, roads, among others.

These projects are developed by Work Contracting Service of Government of Ecuador.

The one presented here, is specifically a -Children Center of Good Living “Sucua”- located in the city of Sucua. The construction was executed in 150 days with a budget of 394 335.77 USD and has an area of 835 m2. The building consists of 5 blocks of classrooms, each classroom has a capacity of 20 children and with an area for bathrooms. The areas in the main building are administration, service, kitchen, dining, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.

This service is free for families with low economic resources and which must fulfill with several quality standards such as: Adequate infrastructure, educational and protective environment, trained educators, nutritional feeding, and preventive health.

Finally, once the constructions were contracted, I oversaw the supervision, administration and oversight the work done to accomplish the project objectives. I was also in charge of other constructions such as social housing complex, and pedestrian bridges
