Norheim Natursten Skifer AS

What Norheim Natursten Skifer AS does

Norheim Natursten Skifer AS is a Norwegian private limited company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Oppdal, Norway's premier slate-producing region. The company operates as a total supplier of construction, masonry, and carpentry services with deep specialization in natural stone and slate work, serving private homeowners, cabin builders, hospitality groups, government institutions, heritage/cultural organizations, and commercial real estate clients across Norway—from Svolvær in the north to Grimstad in the south. Projects range from residential slate roofs and fireplaces to large commercial facades and protected-building restorations (churches, museums, historic fisher huts).

The technical foundation rests on traditional craft expertise in slate cutting, fitting, and installation (including the use of specialized tools such as skifersaks/slate scissors), combined with modern facade mounting systems (aluminum-frame ventilated cladding via partner Dynamic Bonding System) and heritage-restoration techniques that preserve original slate on protected buildings. The company offers nine integrated service lines: roofing (slate from Otta and Alta), fireplaces and chimneys, interior and exterior slate flooring, dry stone and machine-cut stone walls, prefabricated stone panels, facades, ceramic and mosaic tiles, paving stones, and full carpentry/joinery. Materials are sourced from Norwegian quarries in Oppdal, Otta, Alta, Dovre, and Hardanger.

Norheim Natursten runs a project-based, sales-led business model, generating revenue through one-time professional services fees and hardware sales of stone materials. Pricing is set through custom project quotes following direct consultation via the website contact form. Distribution is direct-to-customer across three channels: enterprise/commercial projects, private residential and cabin work, and government/public procurement (including heritage restoration funded by Kulturminnefondet). The company is bootstrapped with no external funding and no disclosed digital or AI tooling. Leadership is family-held, with Terese Guldberg Norheim as CEO (Daglig leder) and Tom Erik Norheim as Sales/Project Manager/Estimator, alongside two additional project and administration leads.

• NCC AB: Major Scandinavian construction and property development company with Norwegian operations. Comparable as a broad regional incumbent that periodically competes for facade and roofing scopes in the same Norwegian tender market.
• BMI Group (Icopal): Major European roofing manufacturer with Norwegian operations through the legacy Icopal brand, offering pitched and flat roofing systems. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the roofing space but focused on membrane and large-format systems rather than specialty slate craftsmanship.
• Veidekke ASA: Large Norwegian construction contractor active in residential, commercial, and civil projects. Comparable as a broader incumbent with overlapping building envelope capabilities but a generalized, large-scale delivery model.
