Our Core is construction

Every generation has a responsibility to maintain and develop its shared infrastructure to create opportunities today and for the future. Construction, maintenance and development projects are initiated by our customers or by NCC. NCC’s purpose is to utilize our expertise and competencies as the basis for taking the customer through the construction process in order to create a positive end result for all stakeholders.

Our Operating Model

NCC is a knowledge-based company whose core is the ability to manage the complexity of a construction process. Our operations include commercial property development, building and infrastructure project contracting, and asphalt and stone materials production. We need to be experts in the various aspects of the process, but we must also have the ability to get them to work together.
NCC is currently pursuing development initiatives in the areas of skills development, digitization and an increased utilization of expertise and data from all parts of the company.

Star behaviours

To continue implementing the change we want to attain, high employee engagement is also essential, as are shared core values and a shared culture. The corporate culture is based on shared values and behaviors, and is also a cornerstone in NCC’s strategic focus.
During 2021, we worked on implementing our Star behaviors among employees. About three quarters of the employees participated in workshops and we integrated the Star behaviors into our HR processes, which will contribute to driving improvements and changes.

NCC's strategic initiatives

To achieve the company's goals and strengthen its market position, NCC focuses on a number of strategic initiatives that are an integral part of the company's operations and our operational model. By focusing on these, NCC is well positioned to continue delivering value to shareholders and other stakeholders, while contributing to sustainable societal development.

  • Act in accordance with our Star behaviors

    Achieving NCC's strategic goals requires a culture with consistent and clear behaviors that create the right conditions within the company and make it possible to achieve our business goals.

  • Data-informed decision making

    NCC generates large amounts of data, and effective knowledge sharing requires structured and easily accessible information. This enables better utilization of the group's collective knowledge, making data-informed decisions, and thereby increasing customer value, productivity, and competitiveness.

  • A future-proof IT structure

    A modern and future-proof IT environment to enable efficient work and increased digitalization.

  • Industry-leading expertise

    NCC aims to be a leader in expertise within the construction process. This requires NCC to attract, retain, and develop employees and continuously sharpen our skills in key knowledge areas.

  • Integrate the supply chain

    By integrating procurement and supply chains into NCC's projects, we can maximize supplier expertise, improve procurement processes, and optimize resource utilization. This strengthens collaboration, increases efficiency, and ensures high-quality deliveries on time and within budget.

    Managing project costs effectively from start to finish is crucial for delivering value to customers and creating long term competitiveness. This requires a comprehensive understanding of customer value, careful planning, good risk management, and clear cost control.

  • Create good business

    NCC sees great value in involving customers early in the construction process. NCC meets customers' varying demands by adapting sales and bidding processes locally, while centrally supporting these with training and knowledge sharing. An example is the new business area NCC Green Industry Transformation, which supports customers in the major industrial transformation in the Nordics.

  • Leverage our expertise

    NCC further develops its expertise in specific areas to create unique positions and increase customer value. Examples include hospitals, swimming pools, and water treatment plants. NCC also focuses on sharing this expertise throughout the company.
