What VAP VA-Projekt does

VAP VA-Projekt AB is a Sweden-based civil engineering consulting firm headquartered in Örebro, founded in 1981. The company provides technical consulting services across seven integrated disciplines: Mark/Gata (land and street planning), Väg/Trafik (road and traffic engineering), VA/Dagvatten (water supply, sewage, and stormwater), Landskap (landscape architecture), Geoteknik (geotechnical engineering), Mätning (geodetic surveying), and Bygg- och Projektledning (construction and project management). VAP uses standard civil engineering methodologies supplemented by 3D modeling for construction documents, and operates on a project-based fee-for-service model. The firm is independent and employee-owned (personalägt), a structure it cites as providing continuity in client assignments.

VAP serves two primary customer segments: public-sector clients — most prominently Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration) and multiple municipalities including Örebro kommun, Västerås stad, and Strängnäs kommun — and private-sector developers and contractors such as Sveafastigheter, JM AB, MUAB, and Vannesta Entreprenad AB. Engagements span the full project lifecycle from initial investigations and surveys through detailed design to construction supervision. The company claims nationwide coverage across Sweden despite its single Örebro office.

With approximately 35 employees and 55 million SEK in annual turnover, VAP operates as a small-to-mid-sized consultancy. Revenue is generated through professional services billed on individual project assignments, with pricing negotiated per engagement. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no external investors, and no parent company; ownership and equity reside with employees. CEO Niklas Norén, who also serves as a Project Manager, has led the company since 2015.
