B-Consult

What B-Consult does

B-Consult AS is a Norwegian independent consulting engineering firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Oslo. The firm provides three integrated services: Byggeteknikk (structural engineering for cast-in-place concrete, steel, and timber structures), Prosjektadministrasjon & prosjekteringsledelse (project administration and design leadership), and Byggesøknad (building permit applications). It serves property developers, municipalities, government agencies, contractors, and private clients across Norway and selectively the Faroe Islands, holding Sentral godkjenning (Central Approval) up to measure class 3 that authorizes it to act as both responsible designer and independent controller on building projects.

The firm operates a sales-led B2B professional services model with a team of 8 sivilingeniører (civil engineers) plus an administration/economics lead, delivering work through project-based quote pricing on multi-year engagements. Its technology stack is built on industry-standard structural engineering tools — Autodesk Revit for 3D BIM modeling, Tekla for structural detailing, and FEM Design/Robot for advanced static and dynamic calculations — supplemented by domain expertise in rehabilitation of historic and UNESCO World Heritage buildings. The firm is Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) certified, aligning with Norway's standardized environmental management regime for the construction sector.

Revenue is generated through professional consulting fees tied to project scope, complexity, and duration, with no recurring subscription or productized revenue component. The firm's customer base is diversified across public sector infrastructure (Statens Vegvesen, multiple kommuner) and private real estate developers (Solon Eiendom, Høegh Eiendom, Stor-Oslo Eiendom, Neptune, Arba One), with long-tenured collaborations with architectural partners such as Code Arkitektur serving as a primary referral channel. B-Consult is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, funding events, or M&A activity.
