By GlobalDataNCC Building Sweden business manager Ulf Jönsson said: “IKEA’s high focus on sustainability, alongside the quick start of the project and relatively short construction period, places increased requirements on planning and implementation.
“NCC has extensive experience of this from previous projects and we look forward to constructing a highly flexible and innovative office in cooperation with IKEA.”
Earlier this week, NCC secured a contract from the Capital Region of Denmark to deliver the second phase of the New North Zealand Hospital.
The construction contract, which is valued at about $71m (SEK650m), relates to façades, external cladding, balconies and roofing for the hospital project.
The order follows the completion of the first phase of the project by NCC that involved intense ground and concreting works at the construction site in Hillerød.
