NCC organizing for increased specialization in NCC Construction Sweden

More distinct specialization combined with a strong local presence will enhance
the efficiency of the NCC Construction Sweden business area in specific market
segments.
The NCC Construction Sweden business area, which has 7,500 employees and sales
of SEK 25 billion, is implementing an organizational change to enhance the
efficiency of its market and production-development activities. Under the new
organization, the geographic regions will be replaced by the Buildings, Housing,
Civil Engineering, General Construction and Land and Industrial Construction
segments.

“We have established a distinct strategy for profitable growth and the new
organization will allow us to better utilize our strategic initiatives in, for
example, purchasing and logistics, virtual construction and platforms. By
linking market and production development even closer to the segments, we will
be able to offer customers cutting-edge solutions in each area,” says Business
Area Manager, Svante Hagman.

The business area has already implemented the first phase of its organizational
adaptation by reorganizing the company’s 17 departments to create a stronger
local presence. The departments will now report to the various segments instead
of to the current geographic regions.

“The control of each sub-business that the segments comprise will become
clearer. To add more strength to the development work and to achieve economies
of scale and cost advantages, the support functions will be gathered in
centralized business area staff units,” says Svante Hagman.

The segments will face different challenges and opportunities. In Housing, for
example, the aim will be to increase the level of standardization through the
use of platforms and construction systems. For all segments, the reorganization
will involve developing more efficient production methods and solutions.

Since the business area has already reduced its workforce earlier this year, the
reorganization is expected to result in only limited surplus capacity. Trade
union negotiations concerning the overall organization have been completed.

The new organization will come into effect on January 1, 2014.
