Advansia

What Advansia does

Advansia is a Norwegian professional services firm specializing in project management, construction management, and advisory services for large-scale public-sector and industrial infrastructure. Described as Norway's largest project and construction management consultancy within its sector, it operates through three integrated service pillars — Physical Projects, Digital Consulting, and Security Consulting — delivered alongside project management, construction supervision, and commissioning modules. The firm serves government agencies, regional health authorities, defense estates, and industrial clients across 13 Norwegian cities, with marquee mandates spanning defense infrastructure advisory (NOK 275M five-year framework with the Norwegian Defence Estate Agency) and hospital project management (South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority framework of approximately 1.9 billion SEK shared among four suppliers).

The company operates a contract-based, project-specific revenue model anchored on multi-year framework agreements won through competitive procurement with government and large enterprise clients. Headquartered in Oslo with a workforce of 251–500, Advansia benefits from integration with parent AFRY AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: AFRY), a publicly listed Swedish engineering and design firm with 18,000+ experts across 50 countries. In March 2023, AFRY acquired XPRO (~NOK 70M annual turnover), bringing additional regional offices in Molde, Ålesund, and Kristiansund into the Advansia unit. Advansia was subsequently rebranded to AFRY, consolidating all Norwegian operations under the parent brand and broadening the addressable service portfolio across advisory, engineering, architecture & design, operations & digital solutions, and product design & development.
