Mittaviiva Oy

What Mittaviiva Oy does

Mittaviiva Oy is a Finnish construction industry development company headquartered in Espoo, Finland (Business ID 0903736-0), founded in 1993 and operating as a privately held limited company. The firm produces R&D-based methodologies, software tools, training programs, professional publications, and consulting services for the Finnish construction sector. Its primary customers are Finnish construction companies (contractors and developers), infrastructure projects and municipalities, and construction industry professionals. The Ratu steering group, comprising major Finnish contractors such as YIT, Skanska, NCC, SRV, Peab, Fira, EKE, Adapteo, Jatke, and others, signals deep industry entrenchment, while the Ihku alliance provides recurring relationships with government customers including Väylävirasto, Espoo, Helsinki, Vantaa, Tampere, Turku, and Jyväskylä.

Mittaviiva's core technology and product portfolio spans three areas. First, software tools: Last Planner Online (browser-based SaaS for collaborative Last Planner scheduling, sold per project month at €90 with a 6-month minimum and free 1-month trial), Ratu-kustannukset ja CO2e-palvelu (element-based cost calculation software with CO2e emission calculation, co-developed with Rakennustieto Oy and Ihme-3D Oy), and Ihku-laskentapalvelu (browser-based infrastructure cost and emission system developed through the Ihku alliance since 2018). Second, publications: the ROK 2026 (€196) and KOR 2026 (€159) annual cost handbooks, Aikataulukirja 2024 (€68), Last Planner guides (€40 each in Finnish and English), Raturva safety publication, and Rakennustöiden laatu quality assurance book, alongside physical products including Last Planner wall boards and the Lean Deck card set. Third, training and consulting: Akatemia-koulutus (company-specific multi-module training typically 3-5 two-day modules), Lean Construction and takt production workshops, Työturvallisuuskorttikoulutus (4h remote safety card training at €119 per participant), Villego-peli simulation, Peili behavioral profiling, and expert witness consulting. Underlying proprietary assets include the Ratu research database (Finnish construction work efficiency data continuously maintained since 1993) and registered brand assets such as Villego-peli.

The business model combines professional services revenue (negotiated Akatemia-koulutus programs, consulting), recurring SaaS (Last Planner Online subscriptions), one-time publication sales (books, materials), per-participant safety card training, and publicly funded research projects (Työsuojelurahasto, Ministry of Environment). Distribution is entirely domestic across Finland: direct enterprise sales for training and consulting, an e-commerce storefront at mittaviiva.fi, Rakennustieto Oy's distribution channel for books, and the Ihku alliance for municipal infrastructure software. Marketing is conducted through organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) and content marketing via mittaviiva.fi. Geographic operations are concentrated in the Helsinki metropolitan area (PK-seutu), with no disclosed international revenue.
