Spanish term or phrase: se erige firme
Hola! ¿Alguien tiene alguna buena traducción para esta oración? Mi intento:
Our effort as regards the design and construction set itself up firmy in the trajectory and commitment.
Pero la verdad es que me suena horrible, ¿alguna idea interesante?

Nuestro empeño en el diseño y construcción se erige firme en la trayectoria y en el compromiso.

English translation:Our devotion to design and construction has a clear path and a firm commitment.
Explanation:
Honestly this is basically fluff so the translation should be fluff too. Nice-sounding fluff though!

Since it's the company's website, I think the job should be more transcreation than translation: the end result should be a description that inspires the same feelings in the English reader as the source does in the Spanish reader. The level of words is important, but I think there is more work in front of you at the level of sentence and paragraph to get this to flow naturally and read like good English.
