What Heisrådgiveren AS does

It serves four primary customer groups: property and facility management companies, housing cooperatives (sameier/borettslag), large real estate developers and owners (e.g., Entra, DNB Næringseiendom), and municipalities/public entities, with an additional service line for elevator suppliers needing third-party procedure development and Lifecycle Management (LCM) quality assurance.

Revenue is generated through quote-based project engagements and retainer-driven portfolio management contracts; pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed.

Leadership comprises Erik Kristiansen (Daglig leder/Managing Director and founder), Richard Dalberg and Arild Fladseth (Partners and senior advisors from HSConsult), and additional senior advisors, with a total team of 7 employees. Named enterprise references include Avantor Eiendomsforvaltning, DNB Næringseiendom, TOBB, Oslo City, Entra Eiendom, and Hamangåsen Boligsameie.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• HSConsult AScoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2021Heisrådgiveren AS and HSConsult AS merged effective 1 January 2021. The merged entity continues under the Heisrådgiveren AS name and became one of Norway's largest independent elevator consulting firms. The motivation was to strengthen the company for customers and partners by combining resources and experience, increasing specialist expertise to cover more specific areas internally, and building capacity to handle large and complex projects. All agreements and obligations of both companies were assumed by Heisrådgiveren AS.
• EntracoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 26 August 2019Entra, one of Norway's leading property companies with a goal of being environmentally leading in the industry, selected Heisrådgiveren as its framework supplier (rammeavtale) for elevator consulting. The partnership aligns with Heisrådgiveren's focus on environment and new technology across all areas of the business. Heisrådgiveren, as a Miljøfyrtårn-certified firm, contributes specialized expertise and professional consulting background to Entra's team.
• Tryggportalen (Trygg Kurs)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerHeisrådgiveren collaborated with Tryggportalen (Tryggportalen.no) to develop an online course on safe evacuation of people trapped in elevators.

Duration is approximately 1 hour, with access for one year and a course certificate upon passing.

Direct peers

• Lerch Bates: The largest independent elevator and escalator consulting firm globally, headquartered in the US. Operates with the same manufacturer-independent advisory model as Heisrådgiveren, offering portfolio management, contract negotiation, modernization oversight, and traffic analysis — the closest direct analogue to Heisrådgiveren's service mix.

Broad incumbents

• BuroHappold: International engineering consultancy with vertical transport capability. Overlaps with Heisrådgiveren on building-services advisory for complex portfolios but competes as a broad built-environment incumbent.
• Ramboll: Nordic-headquartered engineering consultancy with a strong Norwegian presence and a vertical-transport practice. Competes for large property portfolio advisory mandates that Heisrådgiveren targets, but operates as a broad multi-disciplinary incumbent rather than a specialist elevator advisor.
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with a recognised vertical transportation practice advising on complex and high-rise buildings. Competes for premium elevator advisory work where the brief extends to broader building services.
• WSP: Global engineering consultancy with a dedicated vertical transportation team. Competes on large institutional elevator and building-services RFPs in Norway through its local offices, but offers a much wider portfolio beyond elevator advisory.
• COWI: Danish engineering consultancy with significant Nordic market share in buildings and infrastructure. Overlaps with Heisrådgiveren on vertical transport advisory for major property portfolios but competes as a broad multi-disciplinary incumbent.

Others

• TK Elevator: Independent elevator OEM (formerly ThyssenKrupp Elevator) with an active modernization and service business across Europe. Adjacent competitor to Heisrådgiveren on modernization projects, but manufacturer-affiliated.
• KONE: Major global elevator OEM with a substantial modernization and service business. Competes with Heisrådgiveren on modernization projects but from the manufacturer-affiliated side — precisely the positioning Heisrådgiveren's independence is differentiated against.
• Schindler: Major elevator OEM with a global service and modernization business. Adjacent competitor for modernization and service-contract RFPs in Norway, but manufacturer-affiliated.
• Otis: World's largest elevator OEM with a service and modernization arm. Overlaps with Heisrådgiveren on contract renegotiation and modernization project advisory, but on the supplier rather than independent-advisor side of the table.
