What Byggmester Bjørn Sjaastad AS does

Byggmester Bjørn Sjaastad AS is a privately held Norwegian construction company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Skage i Namdalen, Norway. The firm provides integrated design-build services — from architectural planning through construction and key handover — for new homes, cabins, garages, extensions, renovations, and rehabilitation projects, primarily serving private homeowners in the Namdalen region and selected public-sector and enterprise clients (municipalities, housing cooperatives, churches, utilities). The company also operates ancillary service lines including asbestos removal (Arbeidstilsynet-approved), thermal imaging and airtightness testing, core drilling, and equipment rentals (SINTEF-certified Jamax scaffolding trailer and heated storage space). Owner and Byggmester Bjørn Sjaastad leads a small in-house team that includes a building engineer (Aurora Sjaastad) and multiple long-tenured carpenters; the firm is an approved independent vocational training company (selvstendig lærebedrift).

Technically, the firm uses DDS-CAD for 2D/3D architectural design with BIM model export capability for virtual reality walkthroughs, allowing clients to visualize projects before construction. Key technical capabilities also include thermal imaging cameras and airtightness measurement equipment used to diagnose insulation and energy-efficiency issues, and SINTEF-certified scaffolding systems. The business model is primarily project-based professional services contracting (residential, commercial, public), supplemented by two recurring-revenue rental lines: a Jamax scaffolding trailer (500 NOK/day or 3,000 NOK/week) and a ~36 m² heated storage unit (3,500 NOK/month). The firm also sells directly built residential product, including two homes at the Hunnaåsen development in Skage and a standardized Kompakthytte cabin model. Go-to-market is relationship-based and local — direct inquiries via the company website, phone/email, Facebook page, and word-of-mouth referrals within Namdalen — supported by a strategic architectural partnership with Blom Arkitekter (announced 2021) and subcontractor relationships with NTE Elektro, Børstad Blikk, Rørservice VVS, Klingen Maskinentreprenør, and Berre Nielsen.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Peab: Major Nordic construction and civil engineering group with Norwegian operations in residential building and renovation. Overlaps with Sjaastad's residential and rehabilitation work but as a broad, multi-segment incumbent.
• Veidekke ASA: One of Scandinavia's largest construction contractors with residential, commercial, and civil operations in Norway. Overlaps with Sjaastad in residential construction but operates at vastly greater scale across multiple segments.
• Skanska Norge: Norwegian arm of Skanska, a major Nordic contractor with residential, commercial, and infrastructure operations. Competes in residential construction and renovation but at national scale with much broader service portfolio.
• NCC Norge: Norwegian subsidiary of NCC Group, one of the leading Nordic construction and real estate companies. Overlaps in residential and renovation contracting but operates as a broad incumbent with nationwide reach.
• JM Norge: Norwegian arm of JM, a Nordic residential developer focused on new homes. Overlaps with Sjaastad in residential new-build but operates at metropolitan scale with standardized project development rather than custom local builds.
• OBOS: Norwegian housing cooperative and major residential developer/builder. Comparable in serving Norwegian residential construction demand (including borettslag-style housing) but at significantly larger, multi-region scale.

Direct peers

• Block Watne: One of Norway's largest residential home builders, delivering single-family homes and cabins nationwide. Comparable core offering of custom residential construction, though at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach than Sjaastad.
• Blink Hus: Norwegian prefab home builder network with local builder partners. Comparable residential new-build focus with design services; larger scale and prefab tilt distinguish it from Sjaastad's site-built approach.
• Saltdalshus: Norwegian home builder delivering custom-designed residential homes and cabins across Norway. Directly comparable product set (designer homes and hytter) with similar design-build orientation, though operating regionally rather than locally.
• Mesterhus: Norwegian franchise network of local home builders offering custom-designed residential construction. Highly comparable as a local builder model with design-build delivery, though operating at greater scale through franchising.
