  1. INTRODUCTION

I have chosen to deliver an analysis of a construction company while buildings and facilities surround us and are part of our daily lives. Every person is familiar with a new block of flats rising in front of his/her living, a neighbour renovating his apartment or even with his/ her own house renewal. As long as we exist, the construction domain will continue to develop because we all need places to stay and current utilities. We need to communicate with our relatives, friends or even visit new places, so we need roads and highways. We also like to live in a beautiful city with modern leisure centers and iconic buildings. For having all these, companies competent in building and installing have to exist.

One of these companies is SC SCIM SA (Constructions, Installations and Assembling Company), founded in Constanta, Romania. This is one of the major constructing enterprises in the area and handles significant projects. It is a medium sized company, having 110 employees.

According to the CAEN Code No. 4322, the basic activity of S.C. SCIM S.A. Constanta is classified as “Sanitary, heating and air conditioning installations”. The company also deals with civil and industrial buildings, hydrotechnical constructions, electrical installations, commerce and other special activities concerning constructions, foundations and drillings. The technologic level and resources allows them to execute the most demanding products and services in their domain of activity. The company’s motto is “Your dream deserves our experience!”, which shows the organization’s desire to fulfill the customers’ needs.
