Don’t worry – you’re buying a home from Riksbyggen

Homes for unique places and people

Depending on the location and who will live inside, buildings can look very different. This has to do with aesthetics, accessibility, the safety of the buildings and surrounding area, the courtyard, energy efficiency and so on. All Riksbyggen homes share certain fundamental characteristics.

Example: Shared community space – Included in all projects with more than 25 flats. This space could be used for board meetings, kids’ parties, or as a guest room.

Safety – Safety is carefully planned in each project. This involves the outdoor environment, lighting and the lock system.

Pleasant outdoor space – Efforts are made to create a diverse, green outdoor space to enjoy.

Long-term management – The Riksbyggen home is planned to be easy to care for in terms of management. This benefits the people who work on the property as well as your tenant-owner association.

Accessibility – The floor plans are to be carefully considered and must comply with certain dimensions. For example, in a Riksbyggen home, it is a matter of course for all entrances, stairwells and balconies/outdoor spaces to comply with applicable accessibility requirements. To make sure we meet all modern housing quality requirements, we have developed what we call the Riksbyggen home – our model for a great home. In addition to regulatory requirements, the Riksbyggen home meets Riksbyggen’s own requirements, which we have developed based on our ambitions for a great home, a sustainable society, residents’ wishes and long-term management.

Environmental certification

Choosing a home from Riksbyggen means choosing an excellent home for the environment. Since 2012, our newly constructed multi-residential buildings with three storeys or more have been environmentally certified in accordance with the Sweden Green Building Council or Nordic Swan Ecolabel. This involves ensuring the quality of areas such as energy, materials and the indoor environment. Environmental certification can be seen as verification that the building fulfils these important qualities. A building can achieve a bronze, silver or gold rating. Riksbyggen’s new productions are expected to fulfil at least the silver level.
