Forsen

What Forsen does

Forsen is a privately held Swedish construction project management consultancy founded in 1997 and headquartered in Stockholm. The firm provides qualified project and construction management services across the entire building lifecycle — from early-stage planning and cost estimation through design management, procurement, production management, installation coordination, commissioning, and inspection. Forsen operates across five primary sectors: commercial properties, residential, infrastructure (anläggning), industrial, and community properties, with a specialized healthcare vertical branded 'Forsen Care'. The firm emphasizes its independence from contractors, consultants, and suppliers, positioning itself as a conflict-free owner's representative for large property owners, municipalities, county councils, and government entities.

Forsen employs approximately 200 staff across eight Swedish offices spanning from Luleå in the north to Malmö in the south, and reports approximately 350 million SEK in annual revenue. The firm augments its direct headcount with a curated subcontractor ecosystem called 'Forsen Friends' comprising around 100 active specialists. Notable clients include Fabege, HSB Stockholm, Humlegården Fastigheter, Balder, Jernhusen, Fortifikationsverket, Järfälla Kommun, Danderyds Sjukhus, Halmstad Energi och Miljø, Lansa, and Uppsala Kommun. The firm's primary technology asset is the proprietary 'Forsen Flow' management system, a structured toolkit for controlling construction projects under complex conditions.

Forsen generates revenue exclusively through professional services engagements — project-based, quote-based, and negotiated per client. There is no disclosed productized pricing, no SaaS component, and no API or platform offering. Go-to-market is direct enterprise and government sales with supporting presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, the Forsenbloggen blog, and Almedalen Political Week. The firm has been certified as an excellent workplace by Great Place to Work for five consecutive years and operates without any disclosed private equity, venture capital, or institutional investor backing.
