What is included in a general contract in Sweden?

Everything on site: demolition, building work, regulated installations, joinery and fixture installation, finishes, cleaning, self-inspection documentation, slutbesiktning and the handover file. One contract, one accountable party.

What is the difference between AB 04 and ABT 06?

Under AB 04 the client supplies the design and the contractor builds it. Under ABT 06 the contractor also takes design responsibility. ABT 06 gives fewer interfaces and a single point of liability; AB 04 gives the brand tighter control over detail.

How long is the warranty on a fit-out in Sweden?

The standard contract forms give a five-year liability period after approved slutbesiktning, with a two-year warranty period for the contractor’s own work and materials.

Can you work nights so the neighbouring stores stay open?

Yes, and in most central Stockholm properties we have to. Night and evening shifts are planned and priced from the start, including deliveries, waste removal and noise-restricted activities.

General Contractor in Stockholm

Full site responsibility, from strip-out to opening

All General Contractor services

As general contractor we sign one contract and carry the whole build: strip-out, structure, sprinkler, ventilation, electrical, joinery installation, finishes, slutbesiktning and handover. When something goes wrong on site there is exactly one party responsible, and it is us.

Our Stockholm sites run under AB 04 or ABT 06 depending on how much design responsibility you want to transfer, with ID06 registration, an electronic personnel log and BAS-U coordination. Weekly written reports with photo documentation mean your team abroad can follow the build without booking flights.

What separates a premium fit-out here from an ordinary one is finish tolerance and sequencing. Stone, veneer, brass and integrated lighting do not forgive a compressed programme, so we protect the finishing weeks and push the pressure into procurement instead.

Local conditions in Stockholm

AB 04 and ABT 06

The Swedish standard contract forms. AB 04 for a specified design, ABT 06 for design-and-build. They set the rules for variations, delay and the five-year warranty.

ID06 and BAS-U

All personnel are ID06-registered with an electronic site log, and we act as BAS-U for work environment coordination on the site.

Night and evening works

Central and centre locations restrict noise and deliveries to outside trading hours, which we price into the tender rather than discovering later.

Site logistics

Goods lifts are booked weeks ahead, loading windows are short and there is rarely storage on site. Deliveries are sequenced to the day.

Slutbesiktning

The formal final inspection starts the warranty period. We prepare the documentation, the self-inspections and the punch list in advance to pass it first time.

Trade capacity

Sprinkler, ventilation and licensed electrical trades are the scarcest resources in the Stockholm market. They are booked before the drawings are finished.

Typical duration: 8–14 weeks on site for a standard store, longer with structural work
Who we bring: Site manager, BAS-U, project engineer and contracted specialist trades
