Skonto Group Sia

What Skonto Group Sia does

Skonto Group Sia is a Latvia-headquartered private construction group founded in 1993 that delivers turnkey construction, engineering, and prefabricated building solutions to public-sector clients, real estate developers, and infrastructure operators. The group operates five core subsidiaries — Skonto Prefab (precast concrete elements certified to Scandinavian standards), Skonto Plan (facade systems using SCHÜCO profiles, with an owned London warehouse), Latvijas Energoceltnieks / LEC (power and communications infrastructure), Skonto Būve (general construction and main contracting), Skonto Cross Timber Systems (CLT manufacturing), and Forta Modular (volumetric modular construction) — generating annual revenue exceeding €165M with 1,500–2,000+ employees across 20+ countries including the Baltics, Scandinavia, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and emerging markets in Africa and Central Asia.

The group's underlying technology centers on prefabrication: prestressed hollow core and filigree slabs, sandwich wall panels, aluminum-glazed facades, cross-laminated timber panels, and fully finished room modules, all designed using BIM and produced in-house at manufacturing facilities near Riga and Jelgava. ISO 9001/14001/45001 certification and in-house laboratory testing underpin Scandinavian-standard quality. Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts (general contractor and specialist subcontractor roles), direct sales of prefabricated building materials to third parties, and integrated logistics and installation services. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major developers (Barratt London, Skanska, NCC, Oscar Properties, Mount Anvil, PEAB) and government entities (Latvian Ministry of Culture, AS Latvenergo), with marketing built around a multi-language project portfolio website and industry awards including the 2016 International Property Award for 79 & Park in Stockholm.
