The volume of construction works in Romania was in the first eight months of 2025 around 58% higher than in the same period of 2019, which pushed the weight of the construction field from below 6% to almost 8% in GDP, the highest percentage in the EU, largely supported by infrastructure investments, but also by private projects in the area of residential and commercial buildings, stated Alexandru Atanasiu, Board Member & Head of Construction Services at Colliers.
However, the consultants warn the recent volatility is a less favorable sign as it suggests conditions likely to affect company results and their long-term viability. In an upbeat scenario, Colliers consultants expect Romania to reach around 100 completed kms by yearend.
