Founder
Senior drywall tradesman, builder and trainer. Chairs Spain-Georgia Business Alliance.
About us
Born on a job site, not in an office.
Obrattia isn't a school that also places people. It's a construction employment model that also trains. It was founded by someone who learned the trade on site, so others can take that same path with more support and in less time.
Founder of Obrattia · President of SGBA
The founder
He started as a helper. He knows what it takes to become a skilled tradesman.
Vasil Babluani came to Spain at 17 to study, and life took him to the building site. In two months he went from helper to skilled tradesman, and in five he earned his senior tradesman qualification in drywall. He worked on site for two years and then founded his own construction company, which grew to a team of 100 people in Granada and Andalusia.
Since then he has trained professionals in Spain and Georgia, has launched more than five companies, and chairs Spain-Georgia Business Alliance (SGBA), successor to the Spanish-Georgian Chamber of Commerce. He holds a master's degree in International Relations from the University of Granada.
"I had to get into construction to survive. In two months I became an advanced tradesman. In four or five months, a senior tradesman."

Track record
From the scaffolding to Obrattia.
Every stage has left something in the model: the trade itself, managing teams on site, training staff, and the ability to open doors between institutions that don't usually talk to each other.

Obrattia
Everything he learned, put to the service of one model: training people for vacancies that already exist.
Grupo Obrattia
Training and construction, under one group.
Grupo Obrattia brings together two companies that see construction from the same place: the trade itself. Obrattia trains the professionals the sector needs for vacancies that already exist. Contin-Plac Reformas carries out full renovation and construction projects for individuals, businesses, commercial premises and homeowners' associations, with a team of more than 100 professionals and over 20 years of experience.
Training and jobs
Obrattia
A training-with-employment model in construction: the vacancy comes first, and the training is designed for a real position, with follow-up on site.
A Grupo Obrattia company
Contin-Plac Reformas
Full renovations and interior construction: drywall, suspended ceilings, insulation, soundproofing of premises, bricklaying, wall and floor coverings, plumbing, façades and formwork.
Why we exist
There's construction work, and there are people. What was missing was the path between the two.
The sector needs on the order of 700,000 professionals, and thousands of people want to work but have no way into the trade. Obrattia exists to close that gap.
For people
A trade and a real job
A direct path to qualified employment, with support with language and paperwork, and someone by your side until the placement works.
For construction companies
Projects that don't stop
Professionals trained for the position, vetted and followed up, without spending time on sourcing, screening or paperwork.
For the sector
Capacity to build
More professionals available to meet construction deadlines and housing targets, with stable employment rather than one-off placements.
How we work
Six principles we don't negotiate on.
- 01
The vacancy comes first
A group only opens once a construction company has requested the profile. Training is the means, not the product.
- 02
We say what things are
Our forward-looking figures are labeled as targets. We don't promise what we can't deliver.
- 03
Professionals, not beneficiaries
We train the people the sector needs. We talk about capacity, never about charity.
- 04
We stay after they start
Support continues on site during the first few weeks. That's where a job lasting or not gets decided.
- 05
We measure with a method
We publish what counts as a placement: a signed contract and 90 días of verified retention.
- 06
Everything connected
A platform of our own connects trainee, school and company: pathway, paperwork, matching and follow-up all in one place.
The team
The people behind every placement.
A small core team that brings together trade skills, training, business and support, and that grows as we open new groups and regions.
Valentín Hernández
Marketing and Business Development
Brand, outreach and partnerships with construction companies, organizations and institutions.
Where we're headed
A 24-month plan.
A lean structure at the start and growing capacity as partnerships take hold. These are project targets, not results.
- Month 0–6
Brand, platform and first training groups. Target
- Month 6–12
Pilots in four autonomous regions, 85 trainees a month. Target
- Month 12–18
A scaling network of construction companies and 1,500 people trained. Target
- Month 18–24
Full operating capacity: 150 trainees a month. Target
Shall we build this together?
If you're a construction company, organization, institution or investor, there's a place for you in the network.
