Veidekke: Signed construction contract for Fylkets hus in Steinkjer

22 Feb 2023 08:27 CET

Veidekke and subsidiary Grande Entreprenør have signed the contract with
Steinkjer Fylkeshus AS to erect an environmentally certified eight-storey office
building to accommodate Trøndelag county municipality. The commission is a
design and build contract valued at NOK 219 million, excluding VAT.

"We're looking forward to starting construction of Nye Fylkets Hus. There are
not many exclusively office buildings that are built in our area, and we are
therefore very pleased to be selected as contractor in partnership with Veidekke
Bygg in Trondheim who have great experience with such projects. The combined
expertise of the team from Grande and Veidekke in the field of environment and
sustainability tipped the project in our favour, and we are really proud of
that," says general manager Morten Hynne of Grande Entreprenør.

Fylkets hus will have a central location just next to the railway station in
Steinkjer. The building will comprise 7,000 m[2] across eight storeys in
addition to a basement and will be environmentally certified as Very Good
according to the BREEAM-NOR manual v6.0 standard. Bane NOR Eiendom, Trøndelag
County Municipality and Utstillingsplassen Eiendom are behind the company
Steinkjer Fylkeshus AS.

"We're looking forward to starting the first construction stage at Steinkjer
station. We have great faith in a good and constructive collaboration with a
competent contractor with a local foothold. It is particularly pleasing to
realise projects in the difficult times we are experiencing with extraordinary
price growth and supply issues," says head of section Dag Haugdal with Bane NOR
Eiendom region Midt/Nord.

Construction work starts in March, and completion is scheduled for December
2024. This contract is included in Veidekke's order book for the first quarter
of 2023.
