NCC to construct GreenBuilding school in Södertälje for SEK 150 million

NCC Construction Sweden is to construct a new energy-efficient school in
Södertälje in the form of a partnering project with Telge Fastigheter. The
school, which will have a capacity of 650 pupils, will be designed in accordance
with the Södertälje school model and constructed as a GreenBuilding. The order
is valued at approximately SEK 150 million for NCC.


The new Hovsjö school for preschool children up to pupils aged 16 will be built
on the former site of Högberga school. NCC has built three preschools for the
Municipality of Södertälje since 2008 and is also constructing the Tavesta
school in Järna. All of these schools are GreenBuildings - buildings with low
CO2 emissions - as is the case for Hovsjö school. 
“Our close cooperation with Telge has led to lower costs and enhanced the
efficiency of the construction process. This school will also have an energy
requirement that is 30 percent lower than the construction norm,” says Hans
Ingvarsson, Business Manager at NCC Construction, Stockholm/Mälardalen Region. 
Hovsjö school will be a light, open and highly flexible building.
“The partnership with NCC has generated significant cost savings. Hovsjö school
is now next in line. It is one of our most comprehensive partnering projects we
have engaged in and the largest school construction project under the Södertälje
school model,” says Taina Sunnarborg, Project Manager at Telge Fastigheter. 
Partnering is a structured form of cooperation within the construction industry
that enables developers, consultants and contractors to jointly solve
construction assignments through honest cooperation, transparent operations and
allowing various areas of expertise to complement each other throughout the
construction process.
The school is scheduled for completion in January 2012. About 60 people will
work on the project, including 20 NCC employees. The order will be registered in
the second quarter of 2010.
