Restaurera

What Restaurera does

Restaurera Sverige AB is a Swedish professional consulting firm founded in 2016 by Bengt Wahlgren, specializing in building and cultural heritage conservation across southern Sweden. The company provides integrated antiquarian, architectural, project management, and cultural environment services for the restoration, care and maintenance, remodeling, extension, and conversion of culturally and historically significant buildings and environments. Its service portfolio spans seven core offerings: restoration (Restaurering), antiquarian services (Antikvariska tjänster), architecture, construction and project management, cultural environment assessments (Kulturmiljö), knowledge services, and care and maintenance planning (Vård- och underhållsplanering). A dedicated maintenance planning service line for churches and churchyards (using the BAMBI system) extends the offering into recurring advisory work.

The firm operates with a staff of nine professionals — seven certified building antiquarians (byggnadsantikvarier/bebyggelseantikvarier), one architect (Arkitekt SAR/MSA), and one building conservation consultant specialized in masonry and plaster — delivered from three regional offices in Malmö (headquarters, Södra Bulltoftavägen 51), Göteborg (Postgatan 8A), and Kristianstad (Lilla stigen 1). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees determined per engagement; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven, with no marketing-led channels beyond organic Instagram and Facebook presence, and clients are acquired through reputation in the cultural heritage sector.

The customer base is diversified across Swedish municipalities, parishes, housing cooperatives (Brf), real estate companies, financial institutions, and private owners. Notable engagements include Magasin 211 and Gjuteriet 111 in Varvsstaden, the Centralposthuset copper tower, Borrby church tower, Vipeholm, and Sparbanken in Lund, among others. The company is a member of BEVIS, Sveriges Stenindustriförbund, and Svenska byggnadsvårdsföreningen, and has won Malmö Stadsbyggnadspriset in 2021 and 2023 with additional finalist placements in 2019 and 2020. No technology platform, software product, or AI capability is disclosed; the entire offering is human-expert-led professional services.

Broad incumbents

• White Arkitekter: Major Nordic architecture firm with an established cultural-heritage and adaptive-reuse portfolio. Comparable as a competitor for heritage-sensitive new-build and conversion commissions in southern Sweden.
• Sweco: Sweden's largest engineering and architecture consulting firm. Comparable because Sweco runs multi-disciplinary architecture, project management, and cultural-heritage advisory practices and is already a counterparty to Restaurera on Växjö kommun projects via its Sweco Architects division.
• WSP Sverige: Global consultancy with a sizable Swedish architecture/engineering practice. Comparable as a broad incumbent that can bundle heritage advisory into larger multidisciplinary mandates.
• Tyréns: Swedish engineering and architectural consultancy with heritage/cultural-environment practice. Comparable as a full-service incumbent competing for the same municipal, property-owner, and developer RFPs that Restaurera bids on across southern Sweden.
• Ramboll: Global engineering/architecture consultancy with a built-heritage and sustainability practice. Comparable as a broad incumbent able to absorb antiquarian services into integrated property and municipal mandates.
• BSK Arkitekter: Swedish architecture firm with a cultural-heritage and building-conservation focus. Comparable as a direct regional competitor for antiquarian-led restoration and adaptive-reuse commissions in Skåne.
• Tengbom Arkitekter: Swedish architecture practice with restoration and renovation experience. Comparable as a competitor for heritage restoration, conversion, and sensitive-addition projects in the same regional markets.
• COWI: Danish-headquartered engineering consultancy with Nordic heritage/restauration expertise. Comparable as a broader incumbent that competes for public-sector heritage commissions across the Nordics.
• AFRY (formerly ÅF): Large Nordic engineering/design consultancy. Comparable as an incumbent competing on architectural design, project management, and built-heritage advisory for property owners and public-sector clients.

Emerging players

• Liljewall Arkitekter: Gothenburg-based architecture firm with restoration and cultural-environment work. Comparable as a regional competitor operating in the same Västra Götaland geography Restaurera's Göteborg office targets.
