We have a broad project portfolio where we have assignments together with private clients such as contractors, developers and industrial companies but also the Swedish Transport Administration and municipalities. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of our employees, we can offer support in projects of all types and sizes.
Our work climate is characterized by collaboration and creativity where, for example, through an active and appreciated technical network for project managers, we learn from each other and together find new solutions.
