The construction industry is going through a period of transformation driven by economic, technological, and legislative developments. The removal of tax breaks and the continuous increase in construction costs bring new challenges for construction companies. In this scenario, it is clear that firms that streamline their processes and adopt innovative solutions can gain a competitive advantage.

Through advanced digital solutions and artificial intelligence tools integrated into workflows, our group of companies aims to meet the challenges that 2025 brings to the construction industry and unlock new growth opportunities.

Construction challenges in 2025

The continued cost rise is a key factor influencing the construction industry in 2025. According to construction cost indices, costs have risen by almost 40% over the last four years. This year, with the removal of tax breaks for the construction sector, costs will continue to rise, putting additional pressure on firms in the industry.

The complexity of modern projects, alignment with international standards, and increasing demands for sustainability and technologization require construction companies to find quick and efficient solutions to remain competitive. Against this backdrop, resource management, process optimization, and the ability to navigate through an unpredictable legislative and economic environment are significant challenges that will define the industry’s trajectory this year.

“Although the challenges in the construction sector are obvious at the European level and beyond, certain solutions will bring this industry to a high level of performance and sustainability by implementing innovative principles. There are also many real opportunities, both in Romania and in South-Eastern Europe, and the investments already made and the increased interest of international players in the development of large-scale projects, such as infrastructure projects, have the potential to stimulate the development of new projects,” said Cătălin Podaru, CEO of Leviatan Group.

The 2025 challenges open many growth opportunities for Leviatan specialists. Through innovation, digitalization, and adaptability, Leviatan Group continues transforming the construction industry, strengthening its position in an ever-changing environment.

New opportunities to increase efficiency and performance in construction

Leviatan’s specialists have identified tremendous opportunities in the construction industry for interconnecting data flows, which they set out to maximize to improve efficiency and performance.

After implementing the BIM standard across the group of companies a few years ago, last year, a very large proportion of the group’s profits were directed to technological development, from software to new practices and concepts, which have brought exceptional results to the Leviatan team.

“Our team is developing a new platform called CIM (Construction Information Management) that integrates all the flows around people. We’re also moving into an area we call AIM (Artificial Intelligence Management), where all the data flows and artificial intelligence tools are more manageable and make people work more efficiently. The most important challenge is the change of mindset. Still, once this change is made, the results and the joy with which people do certain things can increase by 40-50%,” said Cătălin Podaru, CEO of Leviatan Group.

In an industry as complex as construction, the effective integration of artificial intelligence tools, which evolve rapidly from month to month, is essential to optimizing workflows and achieving the desired results.

With a well-defined strategy and a strong commitment to innovation, Leviatan Group is ready to make 2025 a year of growth and excellence.
