Beställarebyggare

Beställarebyggare is a term used in the construction industry, particularly in Sweden, to describe a type of contractual relationship. It refers to a situation where a client, the "beställare," directly commissions and oversees a general contractor, the "byggare," for a construction project. This differs from other procurement models where an intermediary or a more complex project management structure might be involved.

In a beställarebyggare arrangement, the client typically has a clear vision for the project and actively participates in the decision-making process. They are responsible for selecting the general contractor, often through a tender process or direct negotiation. The beställarebyggare contract usually defines the scope of work, project timeline, budget, and quality standards. The general contractor is then responsible for the execution of the project, including managing subcontractors, materials, and on-site activities.

This model can offer the client greater control over the project and potentially more cost efficiency if managed effectively. However, it also places a significant responsibility on the client to have the necessary expertise or to hire consultants to support their role in overseeing the project. The success of a beställarebyggare project often hinges on clear communication, trust, and a well-defined contract between the client and the contractor.
