What Rawo Byggepartnerskab A/s does

RAWO Byggepartnerskab A/S is a Denmark-based construction management firm headquartered in Herlev that delivers main contracts (hovedentrepriser), total contracts (totalentrepriser), renovation and fit-out work, and development advisory for property developers, investment managers, and property owners. The firm was founded in 2023 by four partners — Mads Refshauge, Ivan Allentoft, Peter Westergaard, and Tommy Olsen — who previously worked together at a larger Copenhagen contractor and bring 20+ years of project execution experience each. Its active portfolio includes five projects across the Copenhagen metropolitan area, anchored by the Glosemosen residential development in Glostrup (~16,200 m², 193 apartments plus 12 row houses, Catella Investment Management and Nordkranen as clients, DGNB Gold and WiredScore Platinum targeted) and the commercial-to-residential transformation of Rygårds Allé 1 in Hellerup (6 units for De Forenede Ejendomsselskaber A/S).

The company is differentiated by a flat organizational structure with a dedicated partner leading each project, allowing rapid and well-considered decisions, and by an integrated sustainable-building practice that includes timber construction (CLT and glulam), LCA/LCC calculations, and end-to-end DGNB certification support with internal training for all employees. RAWO uses Dalux and Frame as project documentation and quality-control tools and is a member of Rådet for bæredygtigt byggeri (Danish Council for Sustainable Building), positioning itself within Denmark's sustainability-driven construction ecosystem.

RAWO generates revenue through project-based construction contracts (main and total contractor fees) and development consulting services, with pricing negotiated per project scope rather than publicly disclosed. The go-to-motion is enterprise field sales and competitive bidding into the Greater Copenhagen area, with relationships built on continuity of partner-level contact, sustainability credentials (DGNB Gold on prior projects), and the founders' prior industry standing. The firm is privately held by its four founding partners, with no external investors or parent company identified.
