We set high ambitions for where and how to grow

Significant maintenance backlog across infrastructure and buildings

  • Robust infrastructure is essential for a strong defense
  • A significant maintenance backlog across Norway's infrastructure and buildings
  • The maintenance gap is particularly concerning in strategically sensitive areas that are critical to our national defence readiness
  • Highlight the need for Multiconsult's expertise in developing and maintaining critical infrastructure

Strategic defence framework agreements

  • Large number of framework agreements to deliver consultancy, architecture and engineering services for the Norwegian Defence Estate Agency
  • Selected to design defence infrastructure for The Norwegian Naval Special Operations Commando at Ramsund, Norway
  • The newest framework agreement awarded to Multiconsult is related to POL-services (Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants)

Outlook

  • ─ The overall market outlook remains stable
  • ─ Continued investment in key public sectors, particularly defence and infrastructure
  • ─ The building and property market continues to face low investment levels
  • ─ Infrastructure market is solid
  • ─ Competitive landscape continues to evolve, with pressure on margins and pricing sensitivity
  • ─ Geopolitical uncertainty, and proposed US tariff schemes are expected to have minimal short-term impact
  • ─ A healthy pipeline and several framework agreements support stability
