Well-maintained buildings thanks to your fees

When you move into a Riksbyggen House, it will be managed by Riksbyggen’s own staff for at least five years. They will ensure that the building functions as intended and that everything is well-maintained and in good condition.

Your fees go a long way

As a member of a cooperative housing association, you pay a monthly fee to the association. This covers a great deal, from heating, water and maintaining the grounds to cleaning and maintaining the building in the short and long term. Your fees also cover interest and repayments of the association’s loans.

Riksbyggen ensures everything is working

From the fees paid to cooperative housing associations, Riksbyggen makes sure that the lights are on, keeps an eye on the heating, ventilation and water so that any problems are promptly rectified, often before you notice that anything is wrong. In short, Riksbyggen ensures that everything is working as intended.

The pleasures of apartment living

If you previously owned a house, when you move to an apartment you can feel comfortable and secure in the knowledge that everything is kept in good working order without you having to shoulder the responsibility yourself.

Financial stability

Your fee also includes regular updates from us concerning maintenance schedules. This provides the association with long-term financial stability, as money can be set aside for future major projects such as maintenance of the facade, roof and heating system. This provides financial security and avoids unpleasant surprises.

An expert in the boardroom

Your association’s board will include one member employed by Riksbyggen. They will be an expert on the work of cooperative housing association boards, willing and able to offer support.

Clean and tidy improves wellbeing

Parking space/charging station

We work towards sustainability by building communities, creating local green spaces and managing property in an economically sustainable manner. We do so for the benefit of society as a whole, for the planet and for all our residents and customers. For us, sustainability is about the big things, and the small. The broader holistic perspective is a prerequisite for doing the small things right. The things that make home and working life sustainable now and in the future.

Sustainable homes are tough. And soft. Here at Riksbyggen, we construct buildings to last for at least a hundred years, and to be sustainable for the climate and the planet. This demands that we are involved in driving progress, such as by installing solar panels on the roofs of all of our new builds, by increasingly building with climate-enhanced concrete and offering services such as carpooling. When our role changes to property management, we continue to work towards a number of environmental goals.

When Riksbyggen develops, builds and manages homes and workplaces, we create solutions that promote social, economic and environmental sustainability.

One example is the target of a fossil-free vehicle and plant fleet by 2025. Another is a 30% reduction of energy consumption for heating, hot water and building electricity in our own properties by 2030.

But it also requires soft values that cannot be measured. Values that make a building into a home that simplifies daily life and provides space in addition to one’s own home, such as community halls for hobbies, meetings and parties, green courtyards with space for cultivation and good opportunities to sort waste at source.

Together

We strive to do both the big and the small things together with our customers and residents. Such as helping by providing solutions that make it easy for residents to share goods and services, or by installing charging stations for electric vehicles in the association’s parking spaces.
