What bfb does

BFB operates under the Byggbransch umbrella as a Swedish non-profit federation that delivers operational, administrative, and developmental support to three specialist construction industry associations: BFB (Branschorganisationen för Byggnadsberedning) covering demolition, renovation, and core drilling; BRiF (Branschföreningen för Relining i Fastigheter) covering pipe relining in properties; and Branschföreningen för lösullsisolering covering loose-fill insulation. The federation was formed in 2017 through the merger of two predecessor trade associations and represents approximately 160 member companies that collectively perform the majority of demolition, renovation, drilling, relining, and loose-fill insulation work in Sweden. Service offerings include industry-specific training development and verification, secretariat functions (kanslifunktion), board assignments, rule-making and guideline development in collaboration with specialist trades, advisory services, and member registry management.\n\nThe organization operates proprietary quality control systems — BRiF3Q for relining and Behörig Lösull for loose-fill insulation — both of which mandate third-party inspections by specially trained inspectors and are applied across all member companies, providing standardized quality assurance in their respective niches. BFB works in close collaboration with Byggföretagen (The Swedish Construction Employers Association) and Swedish building authorities, giving it a regulatory coordination role in these specialist trades. The business model is membership-driven: member companies pay dues and receive access to representation, training, quality frameworks, and operational support. Pricing details are not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not available. The organization has 1–10 employees and is headquartered in Stockholm at Klara Norra Kyrkogata 31, with two named contact persons (Roger Blomqvist and Peter Wipp) representing its public interface.
