In a context of the construction sector, which shows signs of a recovery in investments in works and concessions in Italy, CMB has ambitious goals: 650 million euros in revenues in 2020, with an average annual growth of 7% and an order book of 3 billion, among the highest ever reached.

On 31 July, after two days of audit for certification, CMB became the first Italian construction company to certify its BIM management system with ICMQ. CMB’s BIM system was introduced, with considerable foresight, in 2010, initially experimentally, then for the management of complex building sites.

In a scenario in the construction sector still affected by the economic crisis, the result of the CMB Group for the 2018 financial year is confirmed as positive, improving the margins set out in the Budget. Turnover stands at 512 million euros, with a profit of 4.4 million.

CMB has entered into a contract with Klépierre, leader at European level in the shopping centres sector, to carry out the restructuring work and extension of Shoppingville Gran Reno in Casalecchio di Reno in the province of Bologna. The work relates to the restructuring of the existing shopping arcade and the completion of a new important portion of retail spaces.

Just a few days before the official opening of Line 2 of the Florence Tramway in the presence of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, CMB has approved the Budget for the 2019 financial year, confirming the development model already set out last year in the 2018-2020 Business Plan.

Tramway line 2, opened on 11 February in the presence of Italian PresidentSergio Mattarella, extends for 5 km through the city of Florence. The new tramline aims to encourage commuters to switch from buses, often the cause of traffic jams and holdups, to anelectric and environmentally-friendly form of transportwith a capacity of around 250 passengers.
