Sh bygg, sten och anläggning

What Sh bygg, sten och anläggning does

Sh bygg, sten och anläggning AB is a 100-year-old, family-owned construction and civil engineering contractor headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden, founded in 1923 by Sven Heribert Svensson. The company operates across six integrated business areas — construction (bygg), stone/masonry (sten), civil engineering (anläggning), landscaping (trädgård), asphalt (asfalt), and concrete (betong) — delivered through its own employed workforce of approximately 400 people. It serves both Swedish public-sector clients (Trafikverket, Uppsala kommun, Västerås stad, Täby kommun, Sigtuna kommun, Statens Fastighetsverk, Swedavia/Arlanda) and private developers (Ikano Bostad, Gavlegårdarna AB, Arlandastad F60), executing projects as totalentreprenader, utförandeentreprenader, or collaborative samverkan agreements primarily within Uppsala län, Stockholms län, and extensions into Gävle, Enköping, and Västerås.

The firm operates as part of the Sh Group (Sh-koncernen) under the parent holding Aktiebolaget Sven Heribert, with operating subsidiaries including Sh Asfalt AB, JMG Betong AB, APJ Prefab AB, ToolPal (equipment rental), REWAB, Sh Fastighetsutveckling AB, and various property and logistics entities. Its go-to-market depends on competitive public procurement and framework agreements (ramavtal), supplemented by private tenders. There is no proprietary software platform; technical differentiators instead include circular mass management (on-site rock and soil recycling), Miljöbyggnad Silver residential certification capability, and an internal training academy (Sh Akademin) that delivered 3,939.5 training hours in 2023. The company is led by Dalia Ramzi, the first external CEO in nearly 100 years (appointed 2021), with Lars Svensson of the founding family serving as Group CEO (Koncernchef) of the parent company.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts, with net annual revenue of approximately 400 million SEK for 2024/2025. Following a +40 million SEK profit swing in 2024 after a challenging prior year, the company enters 2026 with a strong order book driven by multiple new framework contract wins and project starts, including the Ikano Bostad Skeppskajen residential project and the Mötesplats Mikaelsgården community center in collaboration with Uppsala Stadsmission.
