Brødrene Killi

What Brødrene Killi does

Brødrene Killi AS is a privately held Norwegian machine contractor founded in 1989 and headquartered in Harstad, Norway, serving both private customers and the Harstad public sector. The company operates as a total supplier across six core service lines: excavation and groundwork (gravearbeid og grunnarbeid), bulk material delivery (masseleveranser), winter maintenance (vintervedlikehold), water/road/sewage infrastructure (vann, vei og avløp), surveying (landmålingstjenester), and drilling and blasting (boring og sprenging). Its underlying technology stack comprises a modern, GPS-equipped machine fleet used for machine control and precision measurement, supported by in-house surveying staff with modern instruments and dedicated mass storage facilities at four locations (Skjærstad, Stangnes, Åsegarden, and Gangsås).

The firm generates revenue through project-based contracts and transactional material sales rather than recurring subscriptions, with pricing determined per project via quote. GTM is direct-to-customer, relying on phone, email, website form, and a mobile workforce that executes services at customer sites across the Harstad region. The customer base is split between private individuals/businesses (long-tail, transactional) and public sector clients (notably Harstad municipality, with project examples including roads, water/sewage, traffic parks, and sports halls). There is no digital marketing or app layer; channel growth is driven by word-of-mouth referrals. The Killi family retains leadership (CEO Jørgen Killi, Senior Consultant Tore Killi, Construction Manager Njål Killi) and the firm emphasizes HSE quality systems, apprenticeship pipelines through OKAB, and Eco-Lighthouse (Miljøfyrtårn) certification.

Operationally, 2025 marked a capacity step-up with the August move into a new office and workshop building at Stangnes constructed under a collaboration contract with Harstadbygg. Revenue stood at approximately 75 million NOK in 2025 with 26 employees, reflecting a family-owned, conservatively financed, regionally anchored contractor model.
