New Building Act 2025 \u2013 Services for sustainable construction<\/h1>\n

The new Building Act, which will enter 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.<\/p>\n

The new Building Act requires, among other things, that a climate report and a material description be drawn up when applying for a building permit. These new requirements are key steps towards low-carbon construction and more sustainable building solutions. Sweco is dedicated to providing comprehensive services that help you meet these requirements, ensuring that your projects comply with the new law and are environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

Examples of changes brought about by the New Building Act<\/h2>\n

As-Built model<\/h3>\n

During the construction project, the designer must update the plans to correspond to the changes that have taken place. The plans shall be submitted in a machine-readable format as an as-built model. The special designer shall submit the updated special plans to the principal designer and the building designer. It is the building owner’s responsibility to keep the as-built model up to date in connection with modifications.<\/p>\n

Climate report<\/h3>\n

Buildings must be designed and built to be low-carbon, as required by their intended use. The low-carbon nature of the building is reported in the climate report for the construction license, which is prepared and coordinated by the main designer of the site. Anyone undertaking a construction project must ensure that a climate report is prepared as part of the final review. The climate report requirement will enter into force on 1 January 2026.<\/p>\n

Construction product catalogue<\/h3>\n

A list of construction products is drawn up for the construction license and supplemented by the final inspection of the building as the information is revised. It contains information about products at the construction site and their quantities. The list of construction products shall contain known information, at least at the level of the main drawing, on the construction products contained in the area, and structural and spatial elements used in the building and on the construction site.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
