What Node advisory engineers does

NODE rådgivende ingeniører AS is a Bergen-headquartered Norwegian consulting engineering firm founded in 2003, providing structural safety (konstruksjonssikkerhet), building physics (bygningsfysikk), geotechnics (geoteknikk), independent verification (uavhengig kontroll), and parametric design services. Its client base spans property developers, construction contractors (including Kruse Smith, Veidekke, Brødrene Ulveseth), government entities (Statens Vegvesen for national tourist route projects), educational institutions (Universitetet i Bergen), and industrial operators across Western Norway. The firm holds central approval (sentral godkjenning) for design and independent control in building physics at tiltaksklasse 3, the highest regulatory intervention class in Norway.

The firm operates from two offices in Bergen (headquarters) and Voss, with a team of approximately 17 engineers. Its project portfolio includes award-winning work such as the Fantoftparken office building (BREEAM-NOR Outstanding), the Greenstation EV charging hubs (BIG SEE Wood Award), and the Stegasteinen viewpoint on the Aurlandsfjellet national tourist route. Technical differentiation rests on domain specialization in Western Norway's demanding climate and terrain conditions, expertise in sustainable timber construction including CLT and glulam, and capability in parametric design methodologies used both for client projects and in research collaboration (the Oppsirk circular maritime steel initiative with Nordic Circles AS).

The business operates on a professional services model, generating revenue through project-based engagements priced on a quote/per-project basis rather than disclosed unit pricing. Services are delivered through direct client engagement with no reseller channel. The firm markets primarily through its project portfolio website, the technical Structural Design Portal under Creative Commons, LinkedIn, and earned media in Norwegian construction trade publications. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting developers, contractors, architects, and public-sector clients in Norway, particularly Western Norway. Ownership is partner-led across three identified partners (Sigve Fossedal Olsen, Ronny Rykkje, Andreas Zieritz), with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or public listing.

Core offering

NODE rådgivende ingeniører AS is a Norwegian engineering consultancy that performs design and advisory services (prosjektering og rådgivning) within structural safety (konstruksjonssikkerhet), building physics (bygningsfysikk), and geotechnics (geoteknikk), supplemented by independent third-party control (uavhengig kontroll) and parametric design services. The firm's references span apartment buildings, hotels, workshop industry, urban transit infrastructure, art installations, and national tourist route projects for clients across Western Norway.

Product overview

NODE rådgivende ingeniører AS is a Norwegian engineering consulting firm offering professional engineering services through five interconnected practice areas: construction safety (konstruksjonssikkerhet), building physics (bygningsfysikk), geotechnics (geoteknikk), independent control (uavhengig kontroll), and parametric design (parametrisk design). The firm specializes in structural engineering consulting across a wide range of project types, from residential apartments and hotels to industrial facilities, public buildings, and national tourist road projects. As a complement to their consulting services, they maintain the Structural Design Portal (structuraldesign.node.no), a free technical resource and calculation reference library demonstrating structural engineering methodologies using various commercial software platforms. The company operates from offices in Bergen and Voss, Norway.

Broad incumbents

• Norconsult AS: Norway's largest multidisciplinary engineering consultancy, offering the same core services as NODE (structural engineering, building physics, geotechnical) but at national/international scale across buildings, infrastructure and energy. Direct category overlap makes it the most relevant broad incumbent.
• Asplan Viak AS: Norwegian multidisciplinary engineering consultancy with structural, geotechnical and architectural-adjacent services, active on residential, public buildings and infrastructure across Norway. Comparable to NODE across multiple service lines.
• Multiconsult ASA: Listed Norwegian engineering consultancy covering structural, geotechnical and building physics disciplines across buildings, transport and energy. Competes with NODE on the same client segments but with vastly greater scale and project capacity.
• COWI AS (Norway): Danish-headquartered engineering consultancy with a strong Norwegian practice covering structural, marine and offshore engineering — directly relevant to NODE's YME-platform and aquaculture work as well as its structural design portfolio.
• Sweco Norge AS: Swedish-Norwegian arm of Sweco Group, providing structural, geotechnical and building physics engineering across Norway. Competes with NODE on building projects while operating at much broader Nordic scale.
• WSP Norge: Norwegian operation of global engineering firm WSP, providing structural and building services engineering across buildings and infrastructure. Relevant broad incumbent competitor for Norwegian building engineering mandates.
• Rambøll Norge AS: Norwegian arm of Rambøll Group, offering structural, geotechnical and sustainability consulting across buildings, transport and energy. Direct category overlap with NODE on Norwegian building engineering projects.

Direct peers

• Hjellnes Consult AS: Oslo-based Norwegian engineering consultancy with structural and building physics practices, frequently working on residential, commercial and rehabilitation projects comparable to NODE's portfolio. Closest direct head-to-head Norwegian specialist competitor.
• Konstruksjonsteknikk AS: Norwegian structural engineering consultancy named in NODE data as a partner/subcontractor alongside H2 Byggeteknikk on the Ny Sotrabru bridge inspection. Same niche (structural engineering for infrastructure) makes it a direct regional peer.
• Bystøl AS: Norwegian structural engineering firm referenced in NODE data as the destination of a former NODE engineer. Direct specialization in structural design for building projects makes it a relevant regional peer despite its smaller scale.
