Construction company NCC has secured a turnkey contract to refurbish and extend Ångermanland District Court in Härnösand, Sweden.  

Awarded by Härnösand Seminariet, a subsidiary of Smedjan Samhällsfastigheter, the contract is worth approximately Skr180m ($18.7m). 

NCC will be responsible for the demolition of a 1950s-era building previously part of a school complex. 

The existing structure spans roughly 2,600m² and will be integrated with a new annex, which will cover about 2,800m² across three floors.  

The contract also encompasses the selection of materials, architectural design, as well as detailing. 

Smedjan Samhällsfastigheter CEO Henrik Fredriksson said: “We aim to build for the future, meaning that no significant measures will need to be taken over the next 30 years. This places high requirements on identifying solutions and materials that have a long service life.  

“NCC has considerable experience of constructing classified buildings and we are looking forward to constructing our new district court together with the company.” 

The park adjacent to the building will be retained. 

The project's order value will be recorded in the first quarter of 2024 under NCC's Building Sweden division.  

Construction is expected to commence in April 2024, with completion anticipated in March 2026. 

The award comes shortly after NCC secured a contract to build a road and tunnel between Breivika and Lerstad in Ålesund, Norway.
