Testimonials
Full service – Project Sweden is excellent
We had a new construction project coming up in Sweden that required The Construction Agreement. The deadline was approaching fast and the conditions were difficult at times. We used Neffi’s “Full service” package and felt we had a clear vision from the start.
Getting all the paperwork in order was not without its problems, but when obstacles arose we were always kept informed and Ott found solutions to get things moving. All the necessary contracts and documents were signed and drawn up on time. Thanks to Ott, we can now carry out our project in peace, knowing our rights, obligations and potential risks.
Prompt assistance and consistent feedback on progress
Occasionally we need assistance with solving Sweden-related issues. Ott has immediate solutions and is able to explain even complex topics in a simple way. Things tend to move slowly in Sweden, but Ott keeps us up to date with the status of the proceedings and doesn’t leave us in the dark. I highly recommend him!
Proper counselling and a holistic approach
When we needed to hire foreign subcontractors to carry out renovation work on our properties, Ott helped us plan the project from start to finish. This included making cost analyses of quotes and a budget. Ott helped us find a solution that suited us while conducting due diligence on the company we chose to use. He ensured that our supplier had correct company registrations, tax decisions and contracts for their employees. Throughout the project, he also followed up on accounting and taxes to ensure that everything was correct.
Ott is a loyal, accurate and accessible consultant with integrity who I would highly recommend to anyone.
A trusted expert
Ott helped us with the accounting and other operations of our Swedish subsidiary. Our employees could always turn to
him whenever they had any questions related to Sweden, even if they were not directly related to accounting.
In addition to the day-to-day tasks, he was a great support when we changed our accounting software and he also helped us to streamline our ROT processes. We were very happy with the work he did.
Check out the blog
In our blog we describe in detail many of the typical situations that foreign construction companies face. Maybe you have faced some of them yourself or you wish to avoid typical mistakes when entering the Swedish construction sector.
We recommend starting your expansion to Sweden by getting up to speed on the regulation and best practices of operating in the Swedish construction sector.
Ott Kerstna – Founder
What prevents it from achieving greatness is, among other things, a very inflexible rules system. Both Swedish and foreign construction companies want to work with each other but are hindered by the regulation.
My aim is to be the facilitator of business relationships between foreign and Swedish construction companies to help build long-lasting relationships based on trust, transparency, and a common goal.
