Opening a store, boutique or restaurant in Sweden is straightforward once you know how the local process works — and expensive when you don't. This page explains the full chain from concept to opening, and which role covers which part of it.
Swedish Project has delivered projects for Tiffany & Co, Rolex, Acne Studios, Mulberry, Max Mara, Mango, H&M and others as project manager, local architect and general contractor across Sweden and the Nordics.
Your concept package meets Swedish reality: building regulations, landlord fit-out guides, available trades and realistic costs. This is where the opening date is actually decided.
Bygglov, fire strategy, accessibility, a certified control manager (kontrollansvarig) and landlord sign-off. Permit lead time is the most common reason a Nordic opening slips.
Tendering to vetted Swedish contractors and suppliers on AB 04 or ABT 06 terms, with levelled bids so you compare like for like.
Millwork, metalwork and fixtures produced in Nordic and European workshops, prototyped and approved before series production.
Site management with ID06 registration, BAS-U coordination, out-of-hours works where the property requires it, and weekly reporting in English.
Final inspection (slutbesiktning), snagging, documentation, warranties — and an ongoing maintenance programme if you want one partner for the life of the store.
Brands normally engage us in one or several of these roles. Each links through to a full description of scope, process and what is included.
