Veidekke Logistikkbygg has secured a contract build an environmentally certified commercial building at Lahaugmoen, Lillestrøm, Norway.

The contract value is Nkr140m ($12.74m), excluding value-added tax, and was signed with Anthon Eiendom.

The project aims to meet BREEAM-NOR standards and achieve an energy class A rating.

The initiative will commence in spring 2025, with the construction process focusing on environmental efficiency, including a waste sorting target of over 95% and an ambitious goal to limit waste production to less than 5kgm².

The building's design also includes dismantling instructions to support potential future reuse.

The completion of the project is planned for takeover by April 2026, and it has been recorded in Veidekke’s order book for the fourth quarter of 2024. In 2023, Veidekke Logistikkbygg reported sales surpassing Nkr1bn.

Veidekke Logistikkbygg general manager Roar Kristiansen said: “We have completed a lengthy and good interaction phase to develop what will be our eleventh construction project in partnership with Anthon Eiendom. This will be an efficient non-residential building with clear environmental ambitions, and we once again appreciate the confidence shown in us.”

The company's parent, Veidekke, is a Scandinavian contractor with an annual turnover of approximately Nkr43bn and an employee-ownership model where almost half of its 8,000 staff hold shares in the company.

Earlier in November 2024, Veidekke was awarded a contract by Fornebubanen to construct new metro stations at Lysaker and Vækerø in Norway. This contract is worth around Nkr1.8bn excluding VAT and is set to start in February 2025, with completion expected by mid-2028.
