Nimlas CEO: Bureaucracy Fuels Building Costs

Sweden has outstanding skilled professionals and great potential, but excessive regulations and poor procurement processes have resulted in some of the highest construction costs in the EU, holding back job creation and growth. Not just in our industry, but for the whole country.

Sweden must take a new path that encourages entrepreneurship, innovation and growth.

That’s why we propose three key reforms and urge the Swedish government to act:
1. Tackle the real cost drivers – land prices, planning, regulations and fees.
2. Strengthen procurement competence in the public sector.
3. Cut unnecessary bureaucracy and requirements that don’t work in practice.

Let’s get Sweden moving again!
