What Bygganalyse does

Bygganalyse is a Norwegian construction cost consulting firm headquartered in Oslo with a branch office in Skien, founded in 1986 and entirely employee-owned. The firm employs over 30 quantity surveying specialists and executes between 400 and 600 consulting projects annually for private and public building owners, contractors, architects, and other consulting firms across Norway. Its core service offering spans cost planning and analysis, tender documentation (NS 3420 specifications), project economics and construction loan control, lifecycle cost analysis (LCC), and carbon footprint analysis (LCA), covering the full project lifecycle from early-phase evaluation through completion.

The firm's proprietary technology platform is ISY Calcus, an integrated cost planning and analysis software developed since 2001 in collaboration with Norconsult Informasjonssystemer (NoIS). ISY Calcus consists of four scalable modules — cost analysis, what-if simulation, carbon footprint analysis (CO2), and lifecycle cost analysis (LCC) — and supports BIM-based quantity extraction for digital material take-off. The firm also publishes Norsk Prisbok, a comprehensive Norwegian construction pricing database updated yearly and distributed in book, web, and mobile app formats as a subscription product.

Bygganalyse generates revenue primarily through professional services (consulting engagements) with a recurring component from software licensing (ISY Calcus) and annual subscriptions (Norsk Prisbok). The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting enterprise and public sector clients primarily through reputation, reference projects, and industry network participation. The firm holds RIF-firmagodkjenning approval, has been Miljøfyrtårn certified since 2016, joined Grønn Byggallianse in 2021, and is a member of the RLB Euro Alliance international network.
