Buildings and urban areas
The world is changing at an accelerating pace. Urbanization, climate change, digitalisation and ever-tightening housing requirements are challenging the built environment.
Sustainable cities need healthy and functional buildings and habitats.
Sweco offers a wide range of expertise in the design and construction of more sustainable, smarter and attractive urban areas. Sweco’s more than 800 structural designers are actively involved in the development of the construction industry and technology. Building technology experts ensure that the properties have the desired indoor conditions, energy-efficient solutions and a long service life.
We offer comprehensive expert services and digital solutions for all stages of the building life cycle. We are involved with our customers in building the Finnish real estate portfolio to a sustainable level. We affect the life cycle, functionality, adaptability, energy efficiency and carbon footprint of buildings. We are pioneers in wood structure design and top experts in steel and concrete structures.
The New Building Act, which entered into force at the beginning of 2025, will bring significant changes to the construction sector. Sweco already has the expertise to meet the new requirements, and we are ready to help customers and stakeholders navigate these changes by providing expert support and solutions to the challenges of sustainable construction and the circular economy.
