Business area construction
Sustainable construction on the local market close to customers
Performs contract work for both external and internal customers. Construction projects, often with local roots close to customers, include everything from new production of housing, public and commercial premises to renovations, extensions and rebuilding as well as construction maintenance. Consists of eleven regions in Sweden, three in Norway and two in Finland. Specialized entities in housing production are in Stockholm, Gothenburg and the Öresund region.
Trends and driving forces
A dampened housing market is counterbalanced by other building construction. Although the prospects for other building construction are hard to judge higher employment, population growth and an aging population are factors that drive demand. Strong development toward digitalized operations that permeate the process from the drawing board through production. A clear, pervasive trend that more and more customers want environmentally and climate certified buildings.
