Veidekke: Collaboration on multi-billion project in Kristiansand

Veidekke has won the competition for the first phase of the construction of a

new emergency building and municipal health centre in Kristiansand. Now,

collaboration between four parties to further develop the important project for

patients in Agder will start.

"We appreciate the confidence shown in us and are looking forward to getting

started immediately. Veidekke has completed several major hospital projects in

recent years and is looking forward to using our expertise in this project too,"

says district manager Atle Monan of Veidekke Bygg Agder.

Today, the pre-project contract was signed digitally. The new emergency building

and municipal health centre have a total framework of NOK 2.266 billion, where

the construction costs amount to around NOK 1.5 billion. Kristiansand

Municipality, Sørlandet Hospital, Sykehusbygg and Veidekke will now work

together to develop the construction project with the goal of concluding a final

construction contract towards the end of 2025.

"Veidekke has won the competition by emphasising the best expertise in project

development, among other things, and we have high expectations towards the

development of good solutions. In the pre-project we will prove that we can meet

the needs of the functions that have been determined within the financial

framework that has been set. Veidekke will now engage an architect, consultants

and key subcontractors, and we are thus on track for occupation at the end of

2028," says Terje Bygland Nikolaisen, Managing Director of Sykehusbygg HF.
