Rasmus Friis A/s

What Rasmus Friis A/s does

Rasmus Friis A/S is a Danish general contractor (totalentreprenør) headquartered in Copenhagen NV that delivers total contracting, new build, renovation, and development services across the Greater Copenhagen area. The company has operated for more than 30 years and employs approximately 50 specialists across dedicated departments for new construction, renovation, technical services, sales/proposals, and development. It serves two primary client segments: private developers and investors (including Tetriis, NREP, and Park Street Nordicom) and the public sector (municipalities such as Ishøj and Roskilde, housing associations including FSB, and institutional developers such as By & Havn I/S).

The company's project portfolio ranges from DKK 7 million to DKK 250 million in contract value, with notable projects including Havnehuset (an 8,000 sqm Nordhavn port building targeting DGNB Gold), Børnehuset Akeleje (a 5,500 sqm DGNB-certified daycare in Roskilde), and the multi-phase Tingbjerg transformation with Innovater Melius. It has developed repeatable housing concepts (Agorahaverne for 50+ seniors, Kernehusene for families) and is pursuing modular construction methods. The firm was first in Denmark to receive DGNB Planet certification for the Viggohaven senior living community and reports CO2 performance below 2029 voluntary low-emission class thresholds.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price totalentreprise and hovedentreprise contracts under net-30 payment terms, with projects secured via public procurement tenders and direct negotiation with private developers. The company recently separated from Tetriis Group in December 2024 to operate independently as an entrepreneurial company with in-house development competencies. No external funding, M&A, or public listing activity is identified in the source data.
