Since 2018, FIEC's member, the Romanian Federation of Building Companies (FPSC), yearly celebrates the National Builder's Day on 14 September. This day was officially dedicated to the construction industry by Law No. 350, which established this important recurrence as a recognition of the vital role that - construction teams, from unskilled workers to engineers - play in developing the economy and contributing to Romania's GDP. The chosen date also holds historical significance and is a milestone in the activity and consciousness of Romanian builders, as it marks the day, back in 1895, when the Danube Bridge at Fetești-Cernavodă - a landmark project in Europe at that time - was inaugurated in the presence of the King of Romania and the exceptional engineer Anghel Saligny.
FIEC President Piero Petrucco and Director-General Domenico Campogrande, are seizing this unique opportunity to share the message on this key initiative, and to acknowledge the work done so far and to publicly encourage and motivate the Romanian construction industry for what it has to achieve in the present and future for a modern Romania.
"In order to be representative and efficient, a European organisation needs the active participation of its affiliates. At FIEC, we therefore welcome the dedication shown by our Romanian member federation FPSC under a fruitful membership and continued cooperation over the last 2 years. I am convinced that this will even be reinforced now that in the current mandate Romania has a seat in the FIEC Steering Committee." - stated President Petrucco in his wish for a Happy National Builder’s Day 2024.
