Kåver & Mellin

What Kåver & Mellin does

Kåver & Mellin AB is an owner-led (ägarlett) Swedish building construction engineering firm founded in 1984, headquartered in Stockholm and operating across eight offices in Stockholm, Uppsala, Norrtälje, Karlskrona, Tierp, Örebro, Karlshamn and Gävle, with approximately 50-55 employees. The firm provides structural engineering and construction design services for both new builds and renovation/extension projects, spanning residential, commercial, cultural, educational, healthcare and swimming-pool building types. Its core offering, Byggkonstruktion, covers the full project lifecycle from early investigation through occupancy, supported by specialist services including BAS-P construction work environment coordination, MSB-certified shelter room expertise (skyddsrumssakkunnig), certified moisture expertise (fuktsakkunnig), environmental building coordination, and certified steel and timber structural engineering.

Technology is built on standard industry tools — BIM platforms (Revit, Tekla), CAD software, and FEM analysis programs (FEM 3D Structure, Statcon, WIN-statik) — rather than proprietary or AI-native systems. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications for an integrated quality, environmental, occupational health and gender equality management system, and is a member of multiple Swedish industry and sustainability bodies (SBI, Rebet, Fuktcentrum at Lund University, Betongföreningen, Sweden Green Building Council, TMPB, Klimatprotokollet).

The business operates as a B2B professional services firm: clients are almost exclusively companies or public authorities engaged through project contracts or framework agreements, and the firm highlights repeat business as a defining feature of demand. Notable public-sector and enterprise clients include Stockholmshem, Sisab (Stockholm Building of the Year 2018 for Långbrodalsskolan), Gavlefastigheter Gävle Kommun, Uppsala Akademiförvaltning, Attendo, and Länsgården. Revenue is generated through professional service fees on construction consulting engagements; financial figures are not publicly disclosed.
