Optim Project Management Celebrates 16 Years of Building with Passion

This September, Optim Project Management is officially sweet sixteen!

For the past 16 years, Optim Project Management has been bringing big ideas to life - building, designing and managing projects that make a difference across Romania and beyond. From offices to hotels, industrial to retail, residential and hospitals, our team has been behind some of the most exciting spaces people use every day.

What started as a small team with a big vision has grown into one of the leading independent project management companies in the region. Over the years, Optim Project Management has expanded its capabilities with in-house architectural and MEP design departments, added general contractor services and provide project monitoring and technical due diligence, allowing us to deliver end-to-end solutions for clients across multiple sectors. And while the projects have gotten bigger, our vibe has stayed the same: innovative, building with passion, people-first and always focused on creating projects that inspire.

Optim Project Management’s growth is not limited to Romania. Over the years, we have expanded our footprint with three international offices (Sofia, Bulgaria; Zagreb, Croatia; and Belgrade, Serbia), taking our expertise beyond borders and proving that our vision and skills stand strong on a global stage.

Our work has not just been noticed by clients and communities, it has been celebrated across the industry too. Optim Project Management is the proud recipient of 23 industry awards, including:

• Best Project Management Company

• And most recently, Best of The Best Project Management Company at the HOF Awards 2025

These recognitions are proof of the passion, hard work and vision our team brings to every single project.

While the last 16 years have been packed with achievements, Optim Project Management is more focused than ever on the future. Sustainability, smart design and community impact are at the heart of everything we do. From green-certified buildings to innovative construction management, we are making sure that every new project is smarter, greener and built for the next generation.

“Reaching 16 years is a huge moment for us. We are proud of the projects we have completed, the awards we have received and the trust we have built with clients, partners and communities. But this is just the beginning! The future of construction and design is about sustainability, technology, and people and we are excited to keep leading the way,” says David Evans, Founder and CEO of Optim Project Management.

For us, it has never just been about buildings. It is about creating experiences, enabling progress and shaping environments where people feel inspired. That is the Optim Project Management spirit and it is what we will keep delivering in the years to come.
