Costel Radescu, founder of CR Building Contractor Ltd and driving force behind CR Group, has been recognised with the Influential Man in Business 2026 – Construction & Business Growth Award, highlighting his significant impact across the UK construction and property sector.
CR Group has developed into a trusted multi-disciplinary organisation by bringing together a network of specialist companies, including CR Joinery, CR Developments & Constructions, CR Building Contractors, CR Designs, and CR Property Investments. This integrated structure enables the group to deliver seamless, end-to-end solutions across residential, commercial, and investment projects, while maintaining a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and professionalism.


Costel’s journey in construction began at an early age, driven by a passion for property transformation and development. What started as a childhood interest evolved into a clear long-term vision, leading him to establish and grow multiple businesses within the industry.
“My journey began when I was 15 years old, and I fell in love with construction and properties. It became my passion to transform houses and make a positive change in people’s lives. From this, my life progressed into running multiple businesses and the drive to achieve more and improve myself,” he said.
Behind the growth of CR Group is a mindset built on discipline, consistency, and continuous improvement. Through years of hard work and long-term commitment, Costel has focused on delivering high standards across every project while continuously refining operations to exceed client expectations.
Resilience has also been a defining factor in his success. Navigating challenging periods within the construction and business landscape, Costel has maintained a solution-focused mindset, enabling him to overcome obstacles and sustain long-term growth.
“For me, it’s always about not giving up. There were very challenging times when everything felt like it was falling apart, but I perform well under pressure and become more productive. I always look for solutions, as I am a problem solver and always see solutions rather than problems,” he explained.
This approach has shaped the culture within CR Group, where problem-solving, efficiency, and attention to detail are central to project delivery. The company works with a diverse range of clients, including homeowners, developers, investors, and commercial partners, ensuring each project is executed with precision and care.
A strong sense of fulfilment comes from seeing developments completed successfully and knowing they create both practical and long-term value. Client satisfaction and project quality remain key drivers behind the group’s continued expansion.
Among Costel’s proudest achievements is the quality and consistency of the developments delivered under CR Group, with a growing portfolio reflecting both ambition and capability. This commitment to excellence has strengthened trust and reinforced the company’s position within the industry.
Looking ahead, Costel is focused on further expanding CR Group beyond construction, with ambitions in property and finance aimed at creating opportunities for wealth generation and long-term stability through strategic investment.
The Influential Man in Business 2026 Award recognises not only Costel Radescu’s achievements to date, but also his ongoing contribution to the construction and property sector. His journey reflects ambition, resilience, and a clear commitment to growth across both his businesses and the wider industry.
