“Romania is facing an unprecedented growth potential and we are confident public sector representatives are making moves in this direction. 2021 can be a good year for the construction field given central authorities’ plans for economic revival and for the development of road, military, energy and civil construction infrastructure”, says Radu Piturlea, deputy chairman of builder Concelex.

Construction company Bog’Art, owned by businessman Raul Doicescu, too, has recently announced it is set to develop a new department within the organization, dealing with construction services for the road infrastructure sector.

PORR Construct is another company that sees the public sector saving the constructions market, and Ortogonal Construct, a small general construction contractor owned by Dragos Zaharia, also chose to shift to public projects amid the pandemic, in a bid to diversify its portfolio.

Synergy Construct, owned by two Turkish-born shareholders, is another example of a builder going for public projects, saying it could build hospitals for instance, a field it already has expertise in, but domestic investments in such projects are stalling.
