Follohus AS

What Follohus AS does

Follohus AS is a Norwegian residential general contractor (totalentreprenør) that designs and builds site-built timber-frame housing (plassbygde trehus) for property developers and, through them, family end-buyers. Founded in 1994 as a successor to the 1991 Rogne & Lundby partnership, the company operates from a headquarters in Ski/Vinterbro and a regional office in Asker opened in 2022, serving the greater Oslo region. Follohus's core offering encompasses single-family homes (eneboliger), semi-detached homes (tomannsboliger), townhouses (rekkehus), and mid-rise apartment buildings, including the more recent massivtre (solid timber) construction technique deployed at Solberg Hage.

The company's construction method is fundamentally site-built rather than modular, which the company positions as a quality and customization differentiator. Supporting this, Follohus runs a dedicated tilvalgsansvarlig (selection coordinator) workflow backed by the Aptly-powered tilvalg portal, allowing home buyers to choose fittings, finishes, and supplier options during build. A Journey-backed ettermarked (after-market) service function handles post-handover inquiries, a 12–14 month inspection, and FDV documentation. Sustainability features such as waterborne floor heating from energy wells and rooftop solar (Furumo — described as Norway's largest private solar park) are incorporated into flagship projects.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time construction contracts with property developers, supplemented by property development exposure via the 2020 joint venture Vik Utvikling Enebakk AS and co-development arrangements such as Furumo with Vinkl AS and Opsahl Bolig AS. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition relies on direct B2B relationships with developers, supplemented by a website portfolio, Facebook, and Instagram presence. Named repeat developer clients include Solon Eiendom, Opsahl Bolig AS (partner since 2007), Vinkl AS, Vik Skog Utvikling, and a broad base of single-project developers. The company complies with Norway's Åpenhetsloven (Transparency Act) and conducts annual subcontractor due diligence with public reporting.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Skanska Norge: Norwegian arm of Skanska, with a residential division building homes and apartments primarily for developers in the Oslo region. Far larger and more diversified than Follohus, but competes for the same large developer contracts and prime residential sites.
• NCC Building Norge: Norwegian arm of NCC, building residential homes and apartments for developers as part of a broader Nordic construction portfolio. Competitor for large Oslo-region residential tenders similar to those Follohus executes for Solon Eiendom and Veslefrikk.
• Peab Norge / Delmar: Norwegian contractor (now including Delmar) with residential capabilities in the Oslo region. Overlaps with Follohus on developer-driven residential contracting but operates at significantly larger scale and broader geography.
• Betonmast Bolig: Norwegian contractor with dedicated residential division building homes and apartments for property developers across Eastern Norway. Compares to Follohus on the developer-channel residential contracting side, though typically takes on larger multifamily and urban infill projects.
• Veidekke Entreprenør: One of Scandinavia's largest construction companies with a Norwegian residential division (Veidekke Bolig) building homes, apartments and townhouses for developers and end-buyers. Overlaps with Follohus in residential general contracting, but operates far more broadly across infrastructure, commercial and civil construction.

Direct peers

• Mesterhus: Norwegian franchise/homebuilder chain for one- and two-family homes and small multi-family projects. Comparable product mix and developer-channel business model to Follohus, though operates through affiliated local builders across Norway.
• OBOS Block Watne: One of Norway's largest residential homebuilders, building single-family homes, townhouses and apartments primarily for property developers and end-buyers. Directly comparable business model to Follohus — production homebuilding for the developer channel — only at much greater scale and broader geographic reach.
• Blink Hus: Network of independent Norwegian residential builders producing single-family, multi-family and holiday homes, often for developer clients. Directly comparable to Follohus as a site-built residential contractor serving the B2B property developer channel.
• Norgeshus: Norwegian residential contractor network/franchise that builds detached homes, townhouses and small multi-family projects for developers and private buyers. Closely comparable customer base and product mix to Follohus, with a similar plassbygd/site-built ethos across regional builder members.

Regional players

• Ø.M. Fjeldheim / Fjeldheim Bolig: Mid-sized Eastern Norwegian residential contractor with comparable single-family and townhouse projects for property developers. Similar product mix and scale to Follohus, mostly serving the greater Oslo/Follo corridor.
