Alin Virlan, the builder’s owner, says the pandemic offered him the opportunity to add real estate developments to his business portfolio, so that, at the end of last year he started the first project of Bucharest. Meanwhile, works for the second one have also been started and plans for another one are underway.

For the time being, the company is focusing on Bucharest, but it also looking at other emerging areas countrywide.

The projects Axa Trans Construct has been involved in include Sanador radiotherapy clinic, opened in 2018, Decathlon store of Baneasa and Poseidon Residence housing complex.

The entrepreneur says he’s closely considering public projects and takes part in various tenders.

For this year, Alin Virlan expects Axa Trans Construct to hit turnover worth between EUR10-15 million (RON50-75 million). The biggest challenges at present are the high building materials prices and labour shortage.
