Increasing demand for project management services from residential developers

With the economy on a positive trend and growing incomes, demand for modern living spaces is growing and we are witnessing the opening of new residential construction sites.

“In the first semester of 2017 we have noticed an increasing number of requests for project management and adjacent services, such as: cost management, site inspection (dirigentie de santier) and health & safety monitoring from residential developers”, said David Evans, General Manager of Optim PM.

Optim PM works with banks for their residential portfolio, as well as with private investors for large residential schemes.

“In the years following the real estate downturn, most of our projects were commercial: office buildings and shopping malls, but we are happy to see the coming back of the residential sector. Our Project Management team has a wide range of skills, an extensive knowledge in construction and the right abilities to manage diverse and complex residential projects. We have great opportunities today to increase our residential portfolio.” said Mihaela Allardin, Business Development Manager with Optim PM.
