Helge Klyve AS

What Helge Klyve AS does

Helge Klyve AS is a private Norwegian general construction contractor headquartered in Larvik, operating in the Vestfold region since its founding in 1986. The company delivers building projects as a total contractor (totalentreprenør) for professional property developers and public-sector clients, bundling five in-house service lines: concrete work (Betongarbeider), carpentry (Tømrerarbeider), masonry (Murerarbeider), construction management (Byggeledelse), and land/real estate development (Utvikling). Work is executed by a workforce of approximately 50 employees covering the principal trades, supplemented by subcontractors on larger projects, with no proprietary software, app, API, or AI component disclosed in the available material.

The business operates a project-based, one-time contract revenue model with quote-based pricing determined per project scope; there are no recurring subscription or managed-service revenue streams. Customer acquisition is driven by direct enterprise field sales, a portfolio of reference projects (including Fritzøe Eiendom, Norcem, Thon Gruppen, Jotun, Norgesgruppen/ASKO, Ringnes, and Forsvarsbygg), and credentials such as Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification and Sentralt godkjent (DIBK) central approval. Marketing is limited to the company website, a Facebook page, and project references; there is no disclosed app, marketplace, or digital channel.

Ownership is private and family-influenced, with founder Helge Klyve still active and Magnus Fon Klyve in project development and administration; the current CEO is Kjetil Fredriksen Berge. The company has no parent, no external investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. Geographic scope is regional, with no international footprint and operating geographies limited to Vestfold and adjacent areas of Norway.
