Except Custom Solutions, a general contractor specializing in interior fit-outs and turnkey projects delivered under a design & build model, recorded a EUR 1.2 million turnover in 2025, with renovation projects accounting for 70% of the total volume of works. Overall, the company delivered 35 interior fit-out projects in 2025, mobilizing teams of up to 50 specialists, depending on project scope.
By segment, 50% of the 2025 business was generated by the residential segment, 25% by hospitality, and 25% by office fit-out projects. Renovations were predominant in residential and hospitality, while office projects were largely fit-out works.
These results come amid a market context in which the volume of construction works increased by 8.7% in the first 11 months of 2025, with major repairs up 48.6% and works on new residential buildings up 11.9%, according to data recently published by Romania’s National Institute of Statistics.
“Official data confirms what we experienced in business in 2025, namely a significant increase in interest for renovation projects, both in the private residential segment and in hospitality”, said Ioan Dobre, Founder and CEO of Except. “In the segment of refurbishing older homes, whether apartments or houses, demand comes from clients who want to work with a specialized company capable of taking over the entire project, including execution and project management, as well as design and furniture production. In short, they want to deal with one professional and have a single point of accountability, not multiple separate entities”, Ioan Dobre added.
