We advise on and develop long-term and future-proof architectural solutions in the society we are part of<\/h2>\n

As consultants in the field of construction, it is our responsibility to contribute to a positive, sustainable development in the industry – and we take an active position on how our cities and buildings are designed, constructed and used.<\/p>\n

We work to promote the principles of circular construction, and with our many years of experience in wooden construction from all over the Nordics, we work to increase knowledge about the advantages of wood as a building material both aesthetically and for its sustainable potential.<\/p>\n

As architects, it is our task to create long-lasting and future-proof architecture. Based on our skills and knowledge, and based on the client’s interests and the function of the building, we advise on the implementation of sustainability in architecture. In this way, we create value for our customers and their end users in the form of e.g. improved working environment, indoor climate, total economy, sales value and operating expenses when construction is complete.<\/p>\n

For us, sustainability is not an independent element that can be taken out of the architectural equation, but the degree of sustainability always depends on the level of ambition, the financial framework and the possibilities of the specific project.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Services<\/h2>\n

We help our developers implement multi-level sustainability in both the planning and execution phases, including:<\/p>\n

Sustainability management
\n<\/strong>We facilitate the dialogue about the client’s sustainable ambitions across the advisory team and ensure that the sustainable measures are implemented in the projects.<\/p>\n

Sustainability strategy<\/strong>
\nWe advise on the choice of sustainability strategy and how sustainable measures can be implemented in the specific project.<\/p>\n

Screening of sustainability potentials<\/strong>
\nWe screen projects early in the process according to a fixed methodology to assess where and how sustainable measures and certifications can be implemented.<\/p>\n

UN’s Global Goal projects
\n<\/strong>We work actively to put action behind the UN’s global goals.<\/p>\n

Construction- and value programs<\/strong>
\nWe ensure that the client’s sustainability ambitions are made concrete in future projects based on building and value programs.<\/p>\n

Consulting and design of circular construction<\/strong>
\nWe advise and design solutions according to the principles of circular construction, including advice on the right choice of materials, the lifespan of materials and the reuse and recycling of materials. Read more about circular construction in Sweco’s Urban Insight report Going Circular \u2013 A vision for urban transition.<\/p>\n

Sustainability certification and implementation in projects<\/strong>
\nTogether with our colleagues at Sweco, we can sustainably certify both buildings and urban areas in relation to DGNB, LEED and BREEAM. We also advise on how to build according to the Voluntary Sustainability Class and the Nordic label Svanem\u00e6rket.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
