"Outsourced project management services have long been considered a luxury in Romania. The situation has now changed, and more and more companies have seen that the added value of these services and cost management ones bring significant savings. In the six years of experience with the CBRE with this type of services on the local market, we have noticed through concrete cases that the investment in project management implemented by specialists brings you savings that amount to several times the fee paid to the consultant team. More exactly, we are talking about value engineering, that is the process by which savings are made to the project budget, without compromising on quality or specification. Practically, one reduces the costs involved by resorting to other levers and by keeping the initial concept," analysts say.
