BER Bygg og Eiendomsrevisjon

What BER Bygg og Eiendomsrevisjon does

BER Bygg og Eiendomsrevisjon AS is an Oslo-headquartered independent advisory firm founded in 2007 that specializes in technical and economic consulting for commercial real estate in Norway. The company delivers technical due diligence, building technical advisory, technical valuation, property optimization, construction loan monitoring, and area measurement services to a client base of private and institutional investors, property holders and managers, commercial tenants, financial institutions, law firms, and public sector clients. Its core deliverable is the "BER-rapporten" — a standardized technical due diligence report covering regulatory deficiencies, maintenance backlog, and future maintenance needs — which the firm executes on approximately 300 commercial property transactions annually and which has become an industry-recognized term in the Norwegian market.

The firm operates a proprietary digital portal, BER RMS (Report Management System), that gives clients centralized access to current and historical reports in downloadable PDF and Excel formats, organized by section and tied to their property portfolios. For area measurement, BER uses handheld Lidar instruments to scan building masses and produce IFC-compatible 3D point clouds, enabling precise area calculation without re-inspection. The core staff of 11+ is supplemented by 8 affiliated specialists in HVAC, electrical, and fire consulting, giving the firm multidisciplinary building-technical coverage. BER holds RICS membership and REV (Recognized European Valuer) certification.

BER monetizes through project-based professional services engagements priced per assignment rather than disclosed subscription pricing, with services delivered directly by the in-house team. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by reputation, referrals, and direct client relationships within the Norwegian commercial real estate ecosystem. Following the 2024 acquisition by Swedish investment company Broviken (with BER partners reinvesting through BER Partners AS), the firm has positioned itself as the Norwegian hub of a Nordic real estate services platform alongside sister companies HRP (Norway), Svefa, and Forsen (Sweden).
