Innovation & Collaboration
We are driven by a desire to challenge, improve and develop the way we build. We believe that innovation happens through collaboration, which is why we work closely with customers, industry partners, research institutes and other organisations.
Together, we explore new ideas, share knowledge and develop new approaches to materials, construction methods and industrial processes.
Research and development are important parts of how we continue to improve what we do and meet the changing needs of our customers and society.
Innovation in practice
Over the years, we have participated in several research and development projects together with customers, researchers and industry partners. These projects help us gain new insights, test new approaches and contribute to the ongoing development of construction methods and housing solutions.
Let's explore ideas together
Innovation requires collaboration. Do you have an idea you would like to explore with us? Get in touch.

Hoppet: 62% lower emissions during the construction phase
Developed together with the City of Gothenburg, Hoppet explored new approaches to materials, construction methods and collaboration in the building sector.
Climate calculations for the project indicate a 62 percent reduction in emissions during the construction phase compared with a reference preschool building.
Project highlights:
- 62 percent lower emissions during the construction phase*
- Developed together with the City of Gothenburg
- Focus on material choices and construction methods
- Collaboration across the value chain
*Based on project-specific climate calculations.
Klivet: 37% lower emissions during the construction phase
Klivet is a research and development project by A-hus that explored how different material choices and construction solutions can influence emissions during the construction phase.
Climate calculations for the project indicate a 37 percent reduction in emissions during the construction phase compared with a reference design.
Project highlights:
- 37 percent lower emissions during the construction phase*
- Alternative material choices and construction methods tested
- Same function and quality requirements maintained
- Experiences transferred into future development work
*Based on project-specific climate calculations.
Pilen: 72% lower emissions from the foundation
Pilen is an innovation project in Varberg that explores new approaches to residential construction, combining material innovation, industrial wood construction and outdoor environments.
One of the project's key innovations is a timber foundation developed and produced by Derome. Climate calculations indicate a 72 percent reduction in emissions from the foundation compared with a reference solution using a traditional concrete foundation.
Project highlights:
- 72 percent lower emissions from the foundation*
- Timber foundation developed by Derome
- Alternative materials and construction methods evaluated
- Outdoor environments designed with consideration for local ecosystems
*Based on project-specific climate calculations.
