Selvaagbygg is in a period of exciting development with a large number of housing projects underway and planned. Selvaagbygg is a subsidiary of the Selvaag Group. High ethical standards, added value for the community, pioneering initiatives and a long-term perspective characterize the work of the Selvaag Group. The Group has a recorded total capital of approximately NOK 4.1 billion, an adjusted shareholders equity of 45% and does business in 10 countries.
A Different Type of House Builder
Selvaagbygg separates itself from the other housing entrepreneurs by working along the whole value chain in the building industry. The company buys, regulates and designs properties, builds and sells housing. The basic idea of the company is to be an efficient housing builder based on an industrial philosophy, with standardized and market-adjusted products at all levels of the building process.
The company has an interdisciplinary and innovative environment characterized by experience and competence – plus friendly and capable colleagues. With creative planning, systemization of knowledge and experience, innovative ICT tools, efficient building techniques, modern logistics and interdisciplinary cooperation the company is a pioneer in house building in Norway.
Determination, the ability for innovation and continuous improvement has always been at the centre of Selvaagbygg. This can be attributed in no small measure to the founder Olav Selvaag who, with untraditional materials and construction methods revolutionized building in Norway after the Second World War. Through the controversial “Ekeberg House” Olav Selvaag proved, despite much resistance in the established construction research community, that it was actually possible to build good housing for prices far more reasonable than before.
A House Builder with a Sense for Art & Culture
Selvaagbygg has always been known for installing sculptures in the housing environments they build, for joy and inspiration. We are of the opinion that a good housing environment is about more than just living. It is also about being a stimulating and attractive environment.
The company is currently developing the “Peer Gynt Sculpture Suite” in Oslo. This is a large representation of Henrik Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt” placed in the middle of a new city district, Løren, that the company is developing. Most of the sculptures are obtained through the Selvaag Group’s ambitious international sculpture contest.
Many Exciting Housing Projects to Come
Selvaagbygg has built over 45,000 residences in Oslo and the surrounding areas since it built its first house in 1948. There is still a great need for new housing in the Norwegian market and in the years to come the company will complete approximately 800 to 1,000 residences a year.
With many exciting housing projects to come, Selvaagbygg is always interested in having experienced and skilled co-workers join our team. Get in touch with the company if you would like more information.
