This contract will be recorded by Veidekke in its order book for Q1 2023.
Grande Entreprenør general manager Morten Hynne said: “We’re looking forward to starting construction of Nye Fylkets Hus. There are not many exclusive office buildings that are built in our area, and we are therefore very pleased to be selected as a contractor in partnership with Veidekke Bygg in Trondheim, who have a 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.”
