What Devoco does

Devoco, legally Devoco Building AB and formerly Bergman & Höök AB, is a privately held Swedish construction and real estate company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Askim, Sweden. The company delivers new construction (nyproduktion) and renovations/conversions (ombyggnader) of hotels, warehouses and logistics facilities, offices, and residential buildings, and positions itself as a provider of holistic solutions, project development, and integrated total solutions (helhetslösningar) rather than a traditional contractor. It employs an estimated 51-100 people and operates primarily across western and central Sweden, including Västra Götaland, Gothenburg, Uppsala, and Halland.

Devoco's clients are property developers, real estate owners, and government or semi-government infrastructure operators. Documented projects include a new train station in Varberg for Jernhusen (opened July 2025 as part of a double-track tunnel project), 66 rental apartments in Uppsala for Klövern (Eddahuset), a specialized high-voltage testing facility for EDT Drivteknik in Rollsbo, the first residential quarter in the emerging Södra Änggården district of Gothenburg, an operational facility for Kungälvsbröderna (Hammarservice), and high-quality rental apartments (Doktoranden) in Stora Ursvik. This mix spans residential, commercial, industrial/logistics, and public rail infrastructure.

As a B2B construction firm, Devoco earns revenue through project-based contracts negotiated per engagement; no public pricing, revenue figures, or funding information is disclosed. Go-to-market is via direct relationships with developers, property owners, and infrastructure clients rather than distribution channels or productized offerings. The company operates no proprietary technology platform, has no software application or API, and reports no subsidiaries, parent company, or institutional/PE backing, appearing to be independently owned following its 2024 rebranding.
