Umeå Projekt Team AB

What Umeå Projekt Team AB does

Umeå Projekt Team AB (UPT) is an independent engineering consultancy headquartered in Umeå, Sweden, founded in 2007. The firm delivers VVS (heating, ventilation, sanitation), electrical, and energy engineering services across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility studies and engineering design through project management, construction management, and contract inspections. It operates from two offices in Umeå and Örnsköldsvik and serves four primary verticals: healthcare (a specialized niche including medical gas systems), municipalities and public-sector clients, industrial customers, and commercial real estate developers. Its service portfolio comprises eight offerings: investigations/feasibility, engineering design, medical gas systems, fire protection installations, project/construction management, contract inspections, geothermal energy, and solar energy.

UPT's technical delivery is built on BIM-based design — primarily AutoCAD with MagiCAD — combined with 3D coordination via Navisworks Manage, 3D scanning and as-built modeling via Autodesk ReCap, building energy simulation via IDA ICE, and borehole/geo-energy simulation via EED Earth Energy Designer. These tools enable multi-discipline clash detection and environmental certification support (BREEAM, LEED, Sunda Hus, Miljöbyggnad Gold/Silver). Notable engagements span Nya Karolinska Solna (medical gas design on Sweden's largest hospital project), Södersjukhuset, Västerås Nya Akutsjukhus, Norrlands Universitetssjukhus, Komatsu Forest's KFone plant, Norrmejerier's cold-storage facility, and multiple Balticgruppen and Diös developments.

The business model is fee-for-service professional engineering, billed per project via tenders or direct commission. Pricing is quote-driven and non-public; engagements span multi-year contracts. Customer acquisition is relationship-led and tender-driven, with no third-party distribution or marketing channels beyond a corporate website and LinkedIn job postings. In April 2025, Finland-based Granlund Group acquired a majority stake, making UPT a subsidiary within a 1,500-expert Nordic group; the five co-founders remain as co-owners and continue in their roles.
