Skanska awarded office project in Norway for NOK 360 M, about SEK 425 M 

Skanska has been commissioned to build an office and technology center in Asker,
outside Oslo. The contract value is NOK 360 M, about SEK 425 M, which will be
included in order bookings for the first quarter of 2008. The customer is Birger
N Haug Holding AS, a Norwegian real estate company.

The new building will comprise 25,000 square meters of space on four stories,

design. The building will house office and research premises for WesternGeco, an

gas industry. 

Construction work will commence immediately and is scheduled for completion in
September 2009.
