2026 reflects a large and dynamic construction market
Construct Intelligence 2026 Q1 captures a dynamic start to the year, with 16,653 active projects, 59.7 million sqm, and an estimated investment value of RON 437.9 billion across 9 sectors. The edition’s key signal is the clear acceleration seen in Q1, from 4,075 projects in January to 6,636 in March, with activity peaking at the end of the quarter and a project flow that, across many segments, is visibly shifting from intent to execution. This is, therefore, a market becoming denser in operational terms. The center of gravity remains firmly in residential, but the full picture is more sophisticated. Infrastructure and industrial form the second major nucleus of opportunity, while private financing clearly dominates by volume and public capital accounts for the highest-value projects. Regionally, the West, North-West, and Center are driving the market forward, with counties such as Timiș and Cluj at the forefront. In short, a market is taking shape in which execution and large-scale capital are beginning to align.
General Overview
Construction Market
Monthly projects evolution
Total unique projects by month
We are seeing a clear month-on-month increase in the total number of unique projects, rising from 4,075 in January to 5,942 in February and 6,636 in March. The year has started strongly and continues on a steady upward trajectory. The data show that the peak within the period analyzed is reached in March, suggesting a concentration of volume toward the end of the quarter. In practical terms, the market is entering a phase of acceleration, and if this pace is sustained, the coming months may bring a higher level of operational activity for players active in the construction sector.
Domain share of total market
Donut showing each large editorial domain as a share of the total project volume.
The portfolio is dominated by the residential segment. Small-scale residential accounts for the largest share, with 5,103 projects, and together with large-scale residential it reaches 8,020 projects—well above any other sector. A second strong and relatively balanced core is formed by Infrastructure & Utilities and Industrial, both with around 2,600 projects. The data also points to a less concentrated distribution across certain segments. For example, Hotel & Leisure stands apart from the lower end of the ranking, while Education, Medical, Offices & Commercial, and Retail remain visibly behind the leading categories. The conclusion is clear: residential decisively dominates the market, while infrastructure and industrial are gaining strong momentum, together shaping three directions with more solid potential than the other segments.
Project distribution by regions
Project count across the major Romanian regions.
Project distribution is concentrated in the upper half of the ranking, led by the North-West with 3,316 projects, followed by the Centre with 2,947 and the West with 2,467. These three areas clearly account for the highest volume, while the North-East remains at an intermediate level, with 2,011 projects. From there, the figures decline gradually toward the South-East and Bucharest, which are very close at 1,677 and 1,650 projects respectively, while the South-West rounds out the ranking with 1,134. Competitive pressure and the most substantial opportunities are therefore concentrated in the North-West, Centre, and West.
County map of projects
County-level distribution of projects for the entire edition.
Construction activity is clearly concentrated in the west of the country and in the major economic hubs. Timiș leads by a wide margin with 1,654 projects, followed by Cluj with 1,414, then Brașov, Bucharest, Bihor, and Constanța, all clustered around the 840–940 mark. A strong secondary core is also taking shape around Ilfov, Sibiu, and Iași, confirming that activity is concentrated in counties with diversified economies, strong connectivity, and powerful urban centers. The figures reveal a stark contrast with the bottom of the ranking, where Brăila, Vâlcea, Vrancea, and Mehedinți remain below 130 construction sites. For construction market participants, prioritizing the leading counties and their adjacent metro areas offers the highest density of opportunities, while the less represented counties call for a more selective, highly localized approach.
Funding — Projects vs investment
Each point = one funding type. X = project count, Y = total investment, bubble = total surface.
The data shows a clear divide between private and public financing. The private sector accounts for the largest volume of projects in both small- and large-scale residential, peaking at more than 5,000 projects in small-scale residential, but with relatively modest investment levels. By contrast, large-scale residential captures the highest private-sector investment value, at nearly 78.3 billion. Public financing, meanwhile, clearly dominates major infrastructure & utilities investment, at around 222.4 billion and more than 2,000 projects—well above any other segment. Healthcare and hotel & leisure also stand out for their high investment values relative to a smaller number of projects. Two distinct market dynamics are emerging: the private sector is driven by volume and dispersion, particularly in residential, while the public sector generates fewer projects but with significantly greater capital intensity, especially in infrastructure. In practical terms, volume opportunities remain concentrated in private residential, whereas the highest-value contracts are clustered in the public sector, where infrastructure is the clear leader from a funding perspective.
Subdomains → domains → total market
Market flow from subdomains into the total project volume.
The market is heavily concentrated in small-scale residential, with 5,103 projects, driven almost entirely by the houses and villas segment, which accounts for 4,938 projects. The next tier is large-scale residential, with 2,917 projects, where apartment buildings clearly outweigh residential compounds. Infrastructure & utilities and industrial come next at nearly the same level, with around 2,560 projects each. In infrastructure, activity is driven primarily by energy/electricity and road projects, while in industrial the main weight comes from warehousing and production facilities. Many sectors are led by one or two dominant subsegments, pointing to a high concentration of demand. Hotel & leisure is driven mainly by accommodation, retail by stores, and healthcare by hospitals and clinics.
Funding mix
Project distribution by funding type.
The data shows that private financing dominates the project mix, with 12,205 projects, representing a markedly higher concentration than public funding, which accounts for 3,851. Public-private partnerships remain marginal, with 597 projects. This indicates a market driven primarily by private capital, while the public component plays a secondary role and PPPs are still underused, although more so than in previous years. The gap between private financing and all other funding sources is large enough to directly shape commercial and development priorities. The conclusion is that market participants will find the greatest number of opportunities in privately financed projects, while the public segment—and especially the public-private segment—requires a more selective approach.
Regions × project size
Project distribution by region and by small / medium / large size classes.
Activity is concentrated in the North-West, Centre, and West, particularly in small and medium-sized projects. The Centre leads the small-project segment with 1,499 projects, closely followed by the North-West with 1,454, while the North-West dominates the medium segment with 1,205 and also leads the large segment with 657. At the other end of the spectrum, the South-West remains the smallest market across all size categories, with just 423 small projects, 415 medium-sized ones, and 296 large ones. We also note several meaningful structural shifts. The North-East shows almost the same volume in the small and medium segments, suggesting a more balanced market, while Bucharest stands out for its atypical distribution, where large projects (571) are nearly on par with medium-sized ones (574) and, relative to other regions, even exceed the small-project segment. The western part of the country accounts for the bulk of project volume, but for higher-value opportunities, Bucharest and the North-West appear to offer the strongest profile.
Projects and investment by value buckets
Top: project counts by value bucket and funding type. Bottom: total investment (bn RON) across the same buckets and funding types.
We can see that the number of projects is concentrated in the small and mid-sized bands, especially in the private sector, where the main peaks are in the RON 100,001–500,000, RON 1–5 million, and RON 500,001–1 million ranges. In the public sector, the numerical distribution shifts toward higher bands, with the largest number of projects falling between RON 1–5 million and RON 10–50 million, pointing to higher values than in the private sector. The public-private segment remains marginal in terms of project count across all bands. When viewed through the lens of total value, however, the data tells a different story. Projects worth more than RON 100 million dominate across all funding types: RON 106 billion in the private sector, RON 238.7 billion in the public sector, and RON 7.7 billion in public-private projects. In other words, while the market is numerically driven by small and mid-sized projects, the real investment weight is concentrated in a limited number of very large projects, particularly in the public sector.
Construction types
Project volume by construction type.
The market is overwhelmingly dominated by new-build projects, with 13,647 developments, while all other types of intervention trail far behind. Renovations total 1,274, while extensions and repairs cluster relatively close together, at fewer than 800 projects each—an indication that interventions involving the existing building stock account for a much smaller share of the market. For construction companies, this translates into a clear focus on new projects, while renovation and modernization works remain more of a supporting segment than a primary source of volume.
Big picture · Small residential
Small residential
The small-scale residential segment reflects an active, highly concentrated market. A total of 5,103 projects account for 1,632,461 sq m and an estimated investment of RON 4.10bn, while the pace recorded in the quarter under review confirms a clear acceleration, with March peaking after a strong jump in February. Beyond volume, the key feature of the market is that activity is already visible on site. Construction is clearly dominant, with 2,112 projects, while permitting adds a further 1,266, indicating that execution and project starts are underpinning the current core of demand.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
Geographically, the market is shaped by a handful of regional hubs. Timiș and Cluj are the clear leaders, both in terms of project numbers and total area, followed by Brașov and Sibiu. Beyond this top tier, volumes fall away quickly and the market becomes far more fragmented. In short, small-scale residential is not evenly distributed nationwide, but concentrated in the west and centre of the country, where the real volume of opportunities is found. In the rest of the country, the most effective approach is a selective one rather than broad market coverage.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
Project volumes rose steadily from 1,087 in January to 1,948 in February and 2,068 in March. The growth rate is strong, marked by a significant jump between January and February, followed by a more moderate increase in March. Activity became increasingly concentrated toward the end of the quarter under review, with March emerging as the peak month. The trend points to an accelerating market, supporting more ambitious resource planning and an expansion of operational capacity in the coming months.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
We can see that the portfolio is heavily concentrated in the active work phases: construction clearly dominates, with 2,112 projects, followed at a considerable distance by permitting, with 1,266. Fit-out and completed projects remain at an intermediate level, at 703 and 631 respectively, while the very early stages are almost nonexistent: only 364 projects are pre-execution, and just 14 or 13 are in design and intention. The data outlines a market driven primarily by projects already under execution or very close to that stage, rather than by a robust pipeline of new project starts. Future momentum will depend increasingly on the permits now entering the system.
Project count map
Project count by county
Project volumes are heavily concentrated in the west and center of the country. Timiș leads by a wide margin with 934 projects, while Cluj records 702, well ahead of the remaining counties. Brașov (435) and Sibiu (329) form a strong second tier, and after the top four a clear drop-off appears, down to Bihor (253), Bucharest (228), Iași (210), and Ilfov (187), confirming a pronounced polarization in activity. Many counties remain at low volumes, with fewer than 100 projects, and toward the bottom of the ranking the figures fall sharply to just 9–14 projects in Vâlcea, Vrancea, Olt, Ialomița, and Teleorman. The most substantial opportunities are concentrated in a handful of clearly defined regional hubs, while the rest of the market is fragmented and calls for a more selective, locally tailored approach.
Surface map
Total surface by county
By area, Timiș and Cluj clearly dominate, at approximately 259 thousand and 247 thousand respectively, followed at a considerable distance by Brașov, with 135 thousand. Beyond these counties, figures drop rapidly below 100 thousand, pointing to a polarized market in which the western and central regions lead the distribution of total area. After the top 8–10 counties, volumes move into a far more fragmented range, while the lower end of the ranking shows very limited levels of only a few thousand, as seen in Ialomița, Teleorman, Vrancea, and Vâlcea. The distribution of area confirms that the real volume of activity is concentrated in a handful of key counties, while the rest of the market remains dispersed and more limited in its overall impact.
Big picture · Large residential
Large residential
This segment has already reached a substantial scale: 2,917 projects, 39.45 million sqm, and an estimated value of RON 85.51 billion. The market has rebounded quickly after a slower start to the year, rising sharply from January to February and then remaining at a high level in March. More important than the pace, however, is where these projects stand: most are already in the permitting or construction phases, pointing to a market focused firmly on execution.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
Geographically, the market is not only large but also highly polarized. Bucharest clearly leads in the number of projects, and together with Ilfov it accounts by far for the largest share of total area, forming the true core of development. Beyond this pole, activity is distributed across a handful of strong regional hubs such as Timiș, Cluj, Constanța, Iași, and Brașov, after which volumes taper off quickly. Overall, the geographic distribution points to a market concentrated around a few dominant centers, where most activity is clustered, while the rest of the country remains far more fragmented and makes only a limited contribution to total volume.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
The data points to a clear acceleration in activity over the first three months of 2026. From 761 projects in January, volume rises to 1,079 in February and remains virtually unchanged in March at 1,077. In effect, we are seeing a strong surge at the start of the year, followed by stabilization at a high level. If this pace is sustained, the level recorded in these two months could become a meaningful benchmark for planning resources and delivery capacity in the period ahead.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
The portfolio is clearly concentrated in active phases or those immediately preceding execution, with a pronounced peak in Permitting, at 1,290 projects, followed by Construction, with 778. Well behind come Completed, Pre-Execution, and Fit-Out projects, all clustered around 260–270, while Design and Intent remain marginal, with very limited volumes. In practical terms, this distribution points to a market focused on execution or near-execution stages, where current activity is driven primarily by projects that have already been launched. At the same time, the relatively small number of projects in early-stage phases suggests a more limited pipeline for the next cycle, which could affect the pace of development in the period ahead.
Project count map
Project count by county
We see a very strong concentration of projects in Bucharest, with 448 projects—well ahead of the next key hubs: Timiș (288), Cluj (242), Constanța (233), and Ilfov (221). The data shows that activity is dominated by the major urban and economic centres, and after the top six counties, volumes decline rapidly, indicating a highly polarised market. There is also a second tier, including Iași, Sibiu, and Bihor, but a long tail of counties remains at low levels, some with fewer than 10 projects, such as Vaslui, Buzău, Vâlcea, Mehedinți, Ialomița, Călărași, and Brăila. Commercial and operational prioritisation continues to centre on Bucharest and the main regional hubs, while smaller counties require a targeted, opportunistic approach.
Surface map
Total surface by county
We see a very strong concentration of total surface area in Bucharest and Ilfov, which clearly dominate the rest of the country at nearly 15 million and 12.8 million, respectively. The gap versus other counties is substantial. Iași, Cluj, Brașov and Constanța are already well below this level, in a range of roughly 1.25–1.68 million, and after the top six counties, values fall quickly below 1 million. The figures outline a clearly concentrated market, in which Bucharest–Ilfov serves as the primary volume hub, followed by a handful of large counties forming a second tier of activity, while the rest of the country remains at a much lower level.
Big picture · Industrial
Industrial
The industrial sector is operating at scale and visibly gaining momentum. Over the three-month period analyzed, 2,559 projects were recorded, totaling 6,612,787 sq m and an estimated investment of RON 27.54 billion. Monthly activity rose from 659 projects in January to 1,032 in March. The market is not only remaining active; it is increasing its pace of commercial execution and decision-making from the very first quarter. At the same time, the regional distribution points to strong polarization, with dense opportunities clustered around established hubs such as Ilfov, Cluj, Bihor, and Arad, while many counties remain below the critical mass needed to sustain consistent volume.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
From a project pipeline perspective, the industrial market is highly energized, but it also has a sensitive pressure point: 1,280 projects are currently in the permitting stage, far exceeding those under construction (416) and those completed (343). This points to a substantial reservoir of activity, but also to a strong dependence on clearing the administrative threshold. In other words, the market is full of promise, yet the ability to convert projects into execution remains the key. The same dynamic is visible at the level of market participants: leaders are not pulling ahead through a massive concentration of projects, but rather within a still-fragmented market, where the decisive factor is the ability to secure significant volumes in major large-surface hubs.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
The number of projects rises from 659 in January to 868 in February, reaching 1,032 in March. The pace of growth remains strong, with March recording the highest volume in the period, a sign that activity is accelerating toward the end of the quarter. The data points to a firmly upward trend, with no interim corrections, highlighting a dynamic start to the year for the market. In practical terms, if this trend holds, industry players should prepare their operational capacity in advance for a higher volume of projects in the coming months.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
The data show that the portfolio is heavily concentrated in the permitting stage, with 1,280 projects—well above construction (416) and completed (343). Beyond this peak, the distribution declines sharply through pre-execution (339), fit-out (103), design (58), and intention (20), indicating a pipeline dominated by projects still in the administrative or preparatory phase. This points to a relative bottleneck before projects move into actual execution, as well as a very thin base of new projects in the early stages. The most immediate opportunity lies in projects expected to transition from permitting into execution, while sustaining the pipeline over the medium term will require a much stronger feed into the intention and design stages.
Project count map
Project count by county
By number of projects, Bihor ranks first with 200 construction sites, followed by Cluj with 182, while Ilfov and Timiș are tied at 154 each. Beyond these leaders, the count drops rapidly below the 100-project threshold, with Iași and Constanța next in line—an indication that the market is heavily concentrated around a handful of regional hubs in the west, center, and the peri-urban area surrounding the Capital. At the same time, there is a stark contrast between the leading counties and those at the bottom of the ranking. Teleorman, Vâlcea, and Mehedinți remain at very low volumes, with just 11 to 14 projects, while Bucharest itself records only 27—well below Ilfov. Projects are more densely clustered in satellite counties and strong regional centers, while many local markets remain fragmented and lack sufficient critical mass.
Surface map
Total surface by county
Total surface area is heavily concentrated in a handful of counties, led by Ilfov and Cluj, both exceeding 700 thousand, followed by Bihor and Arad, each above 560 thousand. A clear group of frontrunners is taking shape, and after the top five positions there is a noticeable drop to Constanța, followed by a middle tier made up of Bucharest, Dâmbovița, Brașov, Sibiu, and Iași. We also see a very wide gap between the top and the bottom of the ranking, from more than 724 thousand in Ilfov to just 9.2 thousand in Teleorman. In practical terms, the market is territorially imbalanced, suggesting that the largest volume opportunities remain concentrated around already established hubs, while many counties require a far more selective approach.
Big picture · Retail
Retail
Retail is entering the year with visible momentum: 393 projects account for 647,620 sqm and a total investment of RON 1.69 billion, while the monthly pace is steadily accelerating from 114 projects in January to 152 in March. The underlying signal is clearly positive, though execution has yet to fully mature. The market is expanding faster than it is delivering, making this start to the year more of an accumulation phase than a period of pipeline conversion.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
At its core, retail today is a high-volume market still in the early stages of development. Permitting dominates the landscape, with 206 projects—far exceeding those under construction or already completed—pointing to a substantial commercial pipeline, but also to a critical dependence on the speed of administrative conversion. Geographically, activity is not concentrated solely in Bucharest. Timiș leads by number of projects, while Brașov and Bacău account for the largest floor areas, confirming a polycentric market with several strong hubs and many counties where density remains low.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
We observe a clear month-on-month increase in the number of projects throughout the first quarter: from 114 in January to 127 in February and 152 in March. The pace accelerates toward the end of the period, with March emerging as the month with the highest concentration of projects, approximately one-third above January’s level. The data indicates that the market is entering a phase of gradual activation, with no month-to-month pullback. In practical terms, this trend points to an increasingly dynamic start to the year, which could support more aggressive planning of resources and commercial capacity in the months ahead.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
We are seeing a very strong concentration in the permitting stage, with 206 projects—well above construction (68) and completed (56). The data therefore points to a pipeline dominated by projects still in the pre-execution phase, while the earlier or late-preparatory stages remain far more limited: pre-execution accounts for 34 projects, fit-out 20, while design and intention are almost marginal, with just 5 and 4 projects respectively. The market base is being driven primarily by projects awaiting the transition into execution, suggesting activation potential in the coming months, but also a possible conversion bottleneck if permitting does not move forward quickly.
Project count map
Project count by county
Project activity is clearly concentrated in a handful of counties, led by Timiș with 29 projects, followed by Ilfov with 22 and Brașov with 21. Close behind are Mureș, Bihor and Bacău, indicating that activity is not concentrated solely around Bucharest, but also has meaningful hubs in the west, centre and east of the country. Bucharest records 14 projects, trailing the leaders and standing at the same level as Constanța and Suceava. This is followed by a steep drop-off into a broad group of counties with low volumes, many of them below 10 projects. At the bottom of the ranking are Caraș-Severin, Harghita and Călărași, with just 2 projects each. The practical takeaway is that the market has a few strongholds, but also a high degree of dispersion across the rest of the country, meaning commercial strategies should be calibrated accordingly: an offensive focus in the leading counties and selective coverage in lower-density areas.
Surface map
Total surface by county
By area, Brașov and Bacău are virtually tied at the top, both at around 70.6 thousand, followed at some distance by Ilfov and Bucharest in the 45–47.4 thousand range. A second tier then stands out, comprising Gorj, Bihor, Ialomița, and Constanța, all above 35 thousand, while beyond the top 10 counties values drop quickly below 25 thousand. The distribution is uneven, with a small core of counties accounting for the largest volumes and a broad share of counties posting much lower levels, down to lows such as Sălaj and Teleorman. In practical terms, the market appears to be driven primarily by a handful of major hubs, suggesting that prioritizing commercial and operational resources in the leading counties may deliver the strongest returns.
Big picture · Medical
Medical
The medical sector is operating at scale and with accelerating momentum: 483 projects account for a combined 2.16 million sqm and an estimated RON 19.25 billion in investment, while the first three months show a clear increase from 118 projects in January to 194 in March. This is not a market feeling its way forward, but one entering the year with traction and volume. Moreover, the stage distribution confirms a mature pipeline: construction, permitting, and design account for the bulk of activity, shifting the conversation from intent to concrete execution.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
Geographically, the medical market remains highly polarized. Bucharest leads in the number of projects, but Cluj is the clear frontrunner by area, while together with Dolj, Iași, Timiș, Constanța, and Bihor it forms the true core of investment activity. This concentration highlights something essential: the opportunity is there, but it is not evenly distributed. At the same time, the player rankings point to a bifurcated market, split between companies accumulating project volume and those capturing high-value work, with names such as CONCELEX and CONSTRUCTII ERBASU standing out for their exposure to large-scale projects.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
We observe a clear increase in the number of projects since the start of the year: from 118 in January to 171 in February and 194 in March. The pace of growth is strong between January and February and continues into March, pointing to sustained momentum in activity over the first three months. The data show that March accounts for the highest volume in the period analyzed, and the trend is clearly upward, with no month-on-month correction. The practical takeaway is that the market is entering the year with solid traction, supporting broader planning for resources and bidding in the months ahead.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
The data shows that the portfolio is concentrated in active phases and those immediately preceding execution. Construction leads with 112 projects, closely followed by permitting at 109, while design remains at a high level with 91. Together, these three stages clearly dominate, while post-completion and very early-stage segments account for a much smaller share. A clear decline is visible toward the outer ends of the project lifecycle: “Before Execution” reaches 68 projects, “Completed” stands at 60, “Fit-Out” at 39, and “Intent” is nearly absent, with just 4 projects. In practical terms, this points to a market driven primarily by already mature projects, creating short-term opportunities while also raising questions about the pipeline of new projects for the period ahead.
Project count map
Project count by county
Project count is concentrated in a handful of major counties, with Bucharest leading at 33 projects, followed by Cluj with 29 and Iași with 25. Also in this top tier are Timiș, Constanța, and Bihor, confirming a clear concentration around regional economic hubs and counties with a greater critical mass of investment. We then see a steep drop to a mid-range band of 10–18 projects, followed by a long tail of counties with fewer than 10 projects, including Ilfov, Tulcea, Buzău, and Caraș-Severin. At the bottom are Mehedinți, Harghita, and Ialomița, with just four projects each. The practical takeaway is that the market remains geographically selective: the most meaningful opportunities are concentrated in established growth poles, while lower-ranking counties require a more targeted approach and, likely, niche projects.
Surface map
Total surface by county
The data shows a clear concentration of total surface area in a handful of large counties, with Cluj firmly in first place at nearly 298 thousand, followed by Dolj with 207 thousand and Bucharest with 179 thousand. After this leading group, values decline noticeably toward Iași and Neamț, before moving into a mid-range cluster where Timiș, Constanța, Bihor, and Brașov remain above the 75 thousand threshold. We also see a very wide gap between the top-ranked counties and those at the bottom of the ranking: from hundreds of thousands in the leading positions to under 10 thousand in Ialomița, Tulcea, and especially Buzău, at just 4.8 thousand. In practical terms, this points to a highly concentrated market, where prioritizing the top 5–7 counties would cover the largest share of the relevant surface area.
Big picture · Education
Education
In education, the market has a robust project pipeline and is entering the year at full speed: 762 projects, 1,590,687 sqm, and an estimated investment volume of RON 9.20 billion, with a monthly upward trend from 196 projects in January to 302 in March. The portfolio is dominated by near-term, high-priority stages, with 248 projects under construction and 205 in pre-execution, confirming a substantial core of active projects or schemes on the verge of breaking ground.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
At the same time, the geographic distribution points to a polarized rather than evenly spread market. Constanța, Bihor and Cluj lead by number of projects, while in terms of total area, Constanța and Bucharest are virtually tied at the top, followed by Cluj and Bihor. This indicates that the real opportunity is concentrated in a handful of strong regional hubs, while many counties remain at a modest level of activity. The same logic of concentration is visible among market participants: the leading contractors and design firms are building meaningful volumes, yet this does not suggest a fully consolidated market, but rather one that remains open to players capable of scaling quickly in counties with critical mass.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
We are seeing a clear month-on-month increase: projects rise from 196 in January to 264 in February, reaching 302 in March. The momentum is sustained, with a stronger advance between January and February, followed by a further increase in March, pointing to an accelerating start to the year. The data shows that activity is increasingly concentrated toward the end of the quarter, with March emerging as the peak of the period under review. In practical terms, the trend suggests growing appetite for project launches, an important consideration when scaling commercial and operational resources in the months ahead.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
We can see that the portfolio is concentrated in the active phases and those immediately preceding execution: “Construction” leads with 248 projects, followed by “Before execution” with 205. Together, these two stages clearly dominate the distribution, while “Design” and “Completed” fall into a middle tier, at 112 and 102 projects respectively. The data also shows a sharp thinning at the start of the investment cycle: “Permitting” accounts for only 17 projects, while “Intent” is almost nonexistent, with just 3. The market has a solid volume of works under way or close to launch, but a limited pool of very early-stage projects, which may signal a need to pay closer attention to feeding the future project pipeline.
Project count map
Project count by county
Project counts are concentrated in a handful of key counties, led by Constanța with 45 projects, followed by Bihor with 43 and Cluj with 40. The next tier includes Brașov, Iași and Bucharest, shaping a strong hub of activity around the major regional centres and counties with diverse economic profiles. A relatively dense middle tier also stands out, ranging from 17 to 27 projects and including counties such as Dolj, Sibiu, Suceava, Arad and Timiș. The data also points to clear fragmentation at the lower end of the ranking, where several counties fall to just 6–11 projects, including Călărași, Mehedinți, Hunedoara and Vâlcea. In practical terms, the market is not evenly distributed nationwide but dominated by a few strong clusters; for commercial prioritisation or expansion, the top 5–10 counties offer the most meaningful volume.
Surface map
Total surface by county
We observe a clear concentration of total surface area in a handful of major counties, with Constanța and Bucharest virtually tied at the top, at around 128 thousand and 126 thousand respectively, followed by Cluj and Bihor, both just above 94 thousand. Beyond this leading group, values decline noticeably to a mid-tier band comprising Brașov, Timiș, Sibiu, Dâmbovița, and Buzău, pointing to an uneven distribution and strong polarization around a few key county-level hubs. At the lower end, Sălaj, Vâlcea, Harghita, Brăila, and Giurgiu remain well below the average of the top tier, at under 10–10.1 thousand, reflecting a significantly lower level of activity. Overall, the distribution indicates a market in which meaningful volume is concentrated in a small number of counties, while the remaining areas have only a limited impact on the total.
Big picture · Infrastructure & Utilities
Infrastructure & Utilities
Infrastructure & Utilities is best viewed less as a mature cycle and more as an active work front: 2,564 projects, 3,815,488 sq m, and an estimated value of RON 256.24 bn define a large, intensive market still expanding operationally. The monthly trend reinforces this picture, with clear acceleration from 675 projects in January to 805 in February and 1,084 in March. More important than the headline volume, however, is the stage mix within the project pipeline: construction (802 projects), pre-execution (597), design (472), and permitting (409) clearly dominate, while completed projects remain limited at 167. In other words, the market is not yet closing out a wave; it is preparing and executing one.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
Geographically, activity is concentrated, but unevenly so. Bihor, Timiș and Dolj lead by number of projects, while Cluj, Constanța, Suceava and Gorj reinforce the idea of multiple regional hubs rather than a market captive to a single center. At the same time, total area is even more tightly concentrated within a narrow core, led by Iași and Constanța, followed by Maramureș, Hunedoara, Mehedinți and Ilfov, showing that real volume is concentrated in a handful of key counties. Company rankings convey the same message: the leaders by project count do not automatically coincide with those aggregating the largest budgets, a sign that the market rewards both the capacity for repeat execution and access to large-scale contracts.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
The data shows a clear acceleration in the number of projects since the start of the year: from 675 in January to 805 in February and 1,084 in March. The prevailing trend is one of steady month-on-month growth, with a more pronounced jump in March, making it the month with the highest concentration of projects in the period under review. We also observe that the pace intensified after February, which may point to a more active market entry as the execution season approaches. In practical terms, if this momentum continues, industry participants should prepare for a higher operational volume in the coming months.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
We can see that the portfolio is heavily concentrated in active phases or those immediately preceding execution: construction clearly leads with 802 projects, followed by pre-execution with 597 and design with 472. Permitting also remains at a meaningful level, with 409 projects, indicating a steady flow feeding the subsequent stages. At the other end of the spectrum, completed projects are far fewer, at 167, while fit-out and intention are marginal, with 111 and just 6 projects respectively. Overall, this points to a pipeline weighted toward the development and execution phases, suggesting sustained activity in the near term; in practical terms, commercial focus should be directed primarily toward projects in construction, pre-execution and design, where the critical mass is clearly strongest.
Project count map
Project count by county
Project activity is relatively dispersed nationwide, but there is a clear core of counties driving the market forward: Bihor leads with 123 projects, followed by Timiș with 118 and Dolj with 100. Just below this threshold are Cluj, Constanța, Suceava and Gorj, all in the 87–91 range, pointing to a meaningful concentration across several regional hubs rather than in a single dominant center. The data also reveals a sharp contrast with the bottom of the ranking, where Neamț, Harghita, Buzău and Teleorman fall to just 30–33 projects. Bucharest, with 56, remains surprisingly behind many of the country’s larger counties, while Ilfov rises to 77, suggesting that part of the momentum is shifting toward the peri-urban area.
Surface map
Total surface by county
The total surface area is heavily concentrated in a handful of counties, led by Iași and Constanța at more than 558 thousand each, followed closely by Maramureș and Hunedoara, and then Mehedinți. Ilfov also stands out at 322.7 thousand, but beyond the top 6–8 counties the figures drop off sharply, indicating a highly uneven distribution. At the bottom of the ranking, the picture is fragmented and marginal, with many counties falling below 10 thousand and the last positions reaching almost negligible levels, as in the case of Buzău. The practical conclusion is that the market that matters in surface-area terms is concentrated in a narrow core of counties, while the rest of the territory plays a complementary role rather than contributing meaningful volume.
Big picture · Offices & Commercial
Offices & Commercial
In Office & Commercial, the market has reached critical mass and is on a clearly upward trajectory: 433 projects, more than 1.06 million sqm, and an estimated value of RON 9.25 billion. Q1 got off to a strong start, with activity accelerating sharply from 105 projects in January to 161 in February and 167 in March, a clear sign that the market is rapidly consolidating at a high level of activity. Beyond the headline volume, the broader picture is one of polarization: Bucharest clearly dominates both in project count and total area, while Timiș, Cluj, Brașov, Iași, Bihor, Sibiu, and Ialomița make up the market’s second meaningful tier.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
At the same time, the project pipeline is not yet an execution-driven market, but one still in the maturation phase: 214 projects are in the permitting stage, compared with only 85 under construction. This report shows that the sector’s main growth engine lies less in generating new intentions and more in the ability to rapidly convert approved projects into active construction sites. The same logic is visible at the stakeholder level: the market is shaped not simply by those with the highest number of projects, but by those concentrating the largest volumes and budgets—pointing to a landscape dominated by a handful of players capable of securing large-scale developments.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
We observe a clear acceleration in project activity from the very start of the year: from 105 in January to 161 in February and 167 in March. The main jump comes between January and February, after which growth continues at a much more moderate pace, pointing to stabilization at a high level. The data show a concentration of activity in the last two months under review, with March at the peak, very close to February. In effect, the market enters an upward trend as early as Q1, and this profile suggests an increasingly active start to the year, providing a useful basis for calibrating commercial and operational capacity for the months ahead.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
The data shows that the pipeline is heavily concentrated in the permitting phase, with 214 projects—more than 2.5 times the number currently under construction, which stands at 85. Beyond this threshold, volumes decline rapidly toward the pre- and post-construction stages: 53 projects are at the pre-execution stage, while the final phases remain far smaller, with 31 completed, 26 in fit-out, and 22 in design. Early-stage intent is virtually absent, with just 2 projects. This points to a pipeline that is still heavily weighted toward approvals rather than actual execution, suggesting a possible bottleneck or a longer lead time between permitting and the start of construction. The most significant short-term opportunity lies in converting permitted projects into active construction, while the very limited pool of intent-stage projects indicates that the inflow of new developments remains weak.
Project count map
Project count by county
We can see that the number of projects is heavily concentrated in just a few counties, with Bucharest clearly leading at 51, followed by Timiș with 33 and Cluj with 26. The next tier includes Bihor, Iași, Suceava, and Brașov, all above the 20-project threshold, outlining a clear core of activity in the country’s major urban and economic centers. We then observe a sharp decline toward a mid-range level of 10–19 projects in counties such as Bacău, Constanța, Sibiu, and Ilfov. Beyond that, the distribution becomes fragmented, with many counties registering fewer than 10 projects and a handful showing only 1–2. The practical takeaway is that the market is clearly polarized: for volume, the focus remains on the major hubs, while for expansion there is room in underrepresented counties, where competition appears to be lower.
Surface map
Total surface by county
We can see that total surface area is extremely concentrated in Bucharest, at 503.7 thousand—almost six times higher than Cluj and well above the next tier, made up of Brașov, Ialomița, and Iași. After the top eight counties, values decline rapidly, and from Timiș downward we enter a far more fragmented zone, with most counties below 22 thousand and many below 10 thousand. The data therefore points to a market clearly dominated by the Capital, with a handful of secondary hubs in Transylvania and the eastern part of the country, while the tail end of the ranking is very thin. In practical terms, if the objective is to build volume quickly, Bucharest remains the key market, with efficient second-wave expansion focused on Cluj, Brașov, Ialomița, Iași, Bihor, and Sibiu.
Big picture · Hotel & Leisure
Hotel & Leisure
The Hotel & Leisure sector is operating at significant scale: 1,439 projects account for 2.74 million sqm and more than RON 25.1 billion in estimated investment, while the first quarter points to a clear acceleration in activity, from 360 projects in January to 560 in March. Beyond sheer volume, the key lies in the portfolio structure: the market is heavily weighted toward the Authorization stage (616 projects) and Construction (327), indicating a substantial pipeline of works in the short to medium term, but also a critical dependence on how quickly projects move past administrative bottlenecks and into actual execution.
Outlook
Challenges and opportunities
Geographically, the market is far from uniform and is instead decisively concentrated. Constanța leads both in number of projects (152) and total area (487,000 sqm), while a second meaningful tier has emerged around it, comprising counties such as Cluj, Bihor, Timiș, Brașov, Iași, and Bucharest. This concentration points to a market in which a handful of regional hubs pull the average sharply upward, while many counties remain peripheral and require a selective approach. The same logic is evident at the competitor level: market leaders distinguish themselves not only through the number of projects, but above all through their ability to capture large volumes and budgets, making the gap between presence and true relevance wider than it may initially appear.

Projects by month
Monthly project distribution for the domain
We are seeing a clear increase in the number of projects since the start of the year, rising from 360 in January to 519 in February and 560 in March. The pace of growth is particularly strong between January and February, then continues at a more moderate rate in March, pointing to an acceleration in activity during the first quarter. The data show that March accounts for the highest volume in the period analyzed, and the trend is consistently upward, with no month-on-month corrections. In practical terms, the start of the year suggests growing appetite for launching projects, supporting a favorable outlook for the coming months if this pace is sustained.
Stage distribution
Project count by stage
We can see that the portfolio is heavily concentrated in the early stages: Permitting clearly dominates with 616 projects, nearly twice the number in Construction, which stands at 327. After these two stages, there is a noticeable drop to Pre-execution (179), while Design, Fit-out, and Completed are grouped relatively closely, at around 100 projects each; Intent is almost negligible, with just 10 projects. The data shows that the pipeline is driven primarily by projects still in administrative preparation or already under execution, rather than by very new initiatives or projects that have already been closed out. In practical terms, this points to a market with solid short- and medium-term volume, but one that requires faster conversion from permitting to execution in order to sustain continuity in project activity.
Project count map
Project count by county
Project activity is heavily concentrated in a handful of counties, with Constanța clearly leading at 152 projects, followed by Gorj with 110 and Cluj with 86. Beyond this leading group lies a much tighter secondary tier in the 40–65 project range, comprising Bihor, Hunedoara, Alba, Brașov, Timiș, Iași, Bucharest, Argeș, Prahova and Suceava. The gap between the leaders and the bottom of the ranking is substantial: several counties in the south and south-east remain below 15 projects, including Ialomița, Olt, Teleorman and Mehedinți. The data shows that activity is not evenly distributed, but rather clustered in a few clear regional hubs, with Constanța standing out as a marked outperformer and with strong representation across the west, centre and several large counties in the east.
Surface map
Total surface by county
We can see that the total surface area is heavily concentrated in a handful of counties, with Constanța clearly in first place at 487 thousand, almost double Bucharest, which reaches 248 thousand. Beyond this peak, the distribution falls away relatively quickly into a second tier comprising Cluj, Bihor, Sibiu, Timiș, Argeș, Dolj, Iași and Brașov, all above the 100-thousand mark, outlining several clear regional hubs. We then observe pronounced fragmentation across the rest of the country: many counties are below 50 thousand, while the bottom of the ranking shows very low figures in Vaslui, Mehedinți and especially Sălaj. In practical terms, the surface area market is concentrated in a few major centers, meaning that commercial and operational prioritization should focus first and foremost on the leading counties, while the rest of the territory calls for a more selective approach.
