Overall, Lille Løren Park will include 355 ecologically certified flats alongside a preschool when the third building stage is completed.

The third development stage includes the construction 37, 63, and 65 flats in three apartment towers of seven and eight storeys, respectively, each building with rooftop patios.

The contract will be entered into Veidekke’s order book for the second quarter of 2023.

AI adoption in the construction industry is gaining traction and will continue to grow over the coming years

The construction industry is at a disadvantage when considering AI adoption as it is a difficult industry to digitalize. The vast and complex data sets needed for building information management (BIM) have been historically difficult to process. However, this is becoming possible due to developments in chips and cloud computing. AI applications in the construction industry can facilitate planning, design, modeling, safety, site monitoring and maintenance, and emissions tracking. The increased interest in generative AI has also been felt in the construction industry.
