DTZ Echinox and Vitalis Consulting provide project management services

The global real estate advisor DTZ Echinox has signed a partnership with Vitalis Consulting group, specialised in constructions and project management advisory, in order to deliver project management services for office fit-out and relocations.

“The partnership between DTZ and Vitalis, initially targets companies looking for office space, for relocation or expansion, for whom real estate and logistic issues such as fit-out and construction require specialised assistance as these matters are distinct to their primary activity. Project Management ensures time and cost efficiency, providing an easy transitions to the new headquarters, without affecting the core business.” commented Mihnea Serbanescu, General Manager, DTZ Echinox.

This agreement is based upon a well-established collaboration between the two companies, on several important projects, such as the relocation of Hewlett Packard in Novo Park (10,000 sq m), PTC/Sema Park and the relocation of Avon in their new headquarters in Eurotower building.

“The idea of this partnership came up as a natural consequence of the periodical collaborations with DTZ Echinox on different projects (PTC, HP etc.). In fact, on the real estate segment where DTZ Echinox activates and mediates relocation transactions, the collaboration with Vitalis brought added value, contributing with the project management and project monitoring services. With more than five years experience on the Romanian market and a portfolio that includes Holcim, Marsh, BASF, Adama or Avon, Vitalis Consulting is the only Romanian company that provides project management and project monitoring services, cost management and specialised services. The main asset of Vitalis is the dedicated, client oriented team, with a thorough understanding of the market, features which are difficult to find to a local branch of an international company.” declared Florian Popa, Managing Partner at Vitalis Consulting.

The initiative is part of a bigger project, as the two companies have decided to use their resources and experience in order to deliver integrated project management, cost management and project monitoring services to their clients. The targeted clients for project management and cost management are represented by occupiers, developers, while investors and banks represent the target for project monitoring.
