Construction market
The year 2021 was a period of unusually rapid change for practically all industries. In the construction sector, particularly building construction, many plans which had been postponed in 2020 due to COVID-19 were launched at an accelerated pace. Demand surged across Europe, affecting the availability and prices of building materials. Some product groups such as steel, wood and oil-based products saw their fastest ever price gain.
Building construction grew by 12% and infrastructure construction by 4% compared with 2020. Estonian construction companies’ total output (construction volume) also grew compared with 2019, when the previous record was set. The Estonian construction market was strongly influenced by growth in building construction. Both new building construction and renovation and reconstruction volumes increased. The rise in infrastructure construction was mainly attributable to repair and reconstruction works.
The market continues to be strongly influenced by investments made by the public sector, which grew in 2021 at the same pace as the market. Growing demand and soaring input prices have raised construction prices by an estimated 30%.
The Construction Price Index grew by 8.3% in 2021. The rise is mainly attributable to growth in materials prices but the effects of a sharp rise in energy prices and labour costs are increasing as well. The shortage of skilled and qualified labour (including project and site managers) has not decreased and the sector continues to need additional competent professionals, including foreign labour whose contribution has supported recent years’ market growth.

Our work
Nordecon’s key strengths are high service quality and professional engineers. In particular, our skills and competencies give us a clear competitive edge in large-scale and complex projects. In 2021, we worked hard to meet previously agreed deadlines in a changed market situation and to maintain good relations with customers. Despite the pandemic, we were able to maintain strong leadership and work on our construction sites was not interrupted.
We secured a record amount of new contracts in 2021 and are working on a number of truly large-scale projects. Building construction, which accounts for three fourths of work completed, continues to dominate our portfolio.

In the Buildings segment, the revenue contributions of the commercial, public, and apartment buildings subsegments were practically equal while the revenue generated by the industrial and warehouse facilities subsegment continued to be modest in 2021. Revenue from the commercial buildings and the industrial and warehouse facilities subsegments grew by 21% and 13% year-on-year, respectively. Revenue from the apartment buildings subsegment remained stable and revenue from the public buildings subsegment decreased by around 23%.
The largest projects under construction in the commercial buildings subsegment were Ajamaja – a seven-floor commercial building in Rotermann City and the LEED Gold certified Alma Tomingas office building in Ülemiste City in Tallinn and an IKEA store in Rae rural municipality near Tallinn.
The largest projects completed in 2021 were an upper secondary school on the island of Saaremaa, a family health centre in Tartu, an extension to the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service building in Rahumäe tee in Tallinn, and a barracks in Paldiski. We continued work on the Medical Campus of the Tartu University Hospital and the main building of the Estonian Internal Security Service in Tallinn.
A significant share of the group’s apartment building projects is located in Tallinn. In 2021, the largest of them were the design and construction of the first two phases of the Kalaranna Quarter and the design and construction of the Tiskreoja housing estate on the western border of Tallinn.
The largest ongoing project in the industrial and warehouse facilities subsegment is the construction of a factory complex for the dairy company E-Piim in Paide.

In the Infrastructure segment, the largest revenue contributor is still the road construction and maintenance subsegment, which increased its revenue by around 11% year on year. The largest projects in 2021 were the construction of the Väo junction on the eastern border of Tallinn and 2+2 passing lanes on the Kärevere-Kardla section of the Tallinn-Tartu-Võru-Luhamaa road, the performance of earthworks on the Võõbu-Mäo section of the Tallinn-Tartu road, and the reconstruction and rehabilitation of national roads in Hiiu county. We also continued to deliver road maintenance services in Järva and Hiiu counties and the Kose maintenance area in Harju county.
We have won several contracts for the construction of small harbours. In 2021, we built Salmistu harbour and Vasknarva boat harbour and expanded quays in Roomassaare harbour on the island of Saaremaa.

Foreign markets
Besides Estonia, group entities currently operate in Sweden, Finland and Ukraine. In 2021 we also has projects running in Latvia.
In Ukraine, we are mainly involved in general contracting and project management in the segment of building construction. Our business volumes in 2021 remained at a level comparable to a year earlier. We have currently suspended our activities in Ukraine due to the war in order to minimise risks and wait until the situation improves.
In Finland, we mainly offer subcontracting services in the concrete work segment. The local concrete work market allows competing for projects where the customer wishes to source all concrete works from one reliable partner. In recent years, we have also secured some smaller contracts as a general contractor.
In 2021, we completed work on construction projects that had been started in 2019 and 2020 and at the year-end we did not have any projects in progress in Sweden. On 22 July 2021, our Swedish subsidiary Swencn AB filed an application with the Nacka District Court in Stockholm to initiate corporate restructuring proceedings. Through restructuring, Swencn AB wants to overcome the difficulties in paying bills, restructure creditors’ claims and improve its liquidity. The purpose of the restructuring is to ensure equal treatment of creditors and the continuation of the activities of Swencn AB. the restructuring plan On 21 February 2022, the Nacka District Court in Stockholm, Sweden, confirmed approved.
We also operate on a project basis in Latvia, where we participated in the construction of a wind farm in Targale in 2021 (a joint project).

Quality
Our quality metrics are properly managed projects and buildings and infrastructure assets which are delivered on time and meet the required quality standards. Nordecon’s customers are satisfied when we deliver high construction quality, act transparently and communicate openly. Our operations are based on conscious and systematic quality management, a key outcome of which is safety. We make no concessions in matters related to the safety of the buildings and infrastructure assets delivered by us.
At the parent company, each project is assigned a quality coefficient which reflects compliance with safety rules, deadlines and technical requirements, defect resolution effectiveness and customer feedback, and determines the performance-related pay of the project team.
The key factors that helped us maintain high customer satisfaction in a changed market environment in 2021 were the expertise and professionalism of our people. To gather customer feedback more systematically, our subsidiaries Nordecon Betoon OÜ and Embach Ehitus OÜ have started implementing a warranty claims and complaints management system.

Rae rural municipality and Nordecon have an excellent partnership, which is based on mutual trust. Trust does not emerge overnight – it must be earned and Nordecon has earned our trust with good work on numerous projects, including the Peetri and Järveküla schools, Kindluse school, Kindluse sports hall and a pneumatic structure.
Recent years have been challenging for all of us but we have been able to resolve all issues flexibly. We are particularly pleased that Nordecon often completes work ahead of schedule and their team stands out for creativity – when necessary they make appropriate adjustments to deliver the highest possible quality.

Rae Rural Municipality Mayor
Ajamaja is the most important building in the Rotermann Quarter, a landmark summarising 15 years of development activities. Previously, the southern side of the quarter lacked a proper gate and entrance. Now it exists in the form of Ajamaja.
The design and construction process was extremely complex, with a lot of challenges and required the joint efforts and smooth cooperation of many parties. Nordecon that was the main designer responsible for overseeing the preparation of the principal and operational building design documentation that was done parallel to construction activities, which further complicated process management. Everything had to be organised so that the residents, tenants and visitors of the Rotermann Quarter would be satisfied and Nordecon achieved it.
Thanks to the dedication and successful teamwork of all parties led by Nordecon, excellent solutions were designed and executed. The customer as well as the current users of the building are highly satisfied and Tallinn’s urban space can boast of another architectural marvel.
Tarmo Pohlak
Member of the Management Board of US Real Estate
The architects of KARISMA, the interior architects of T43 and MP Studio, and the project managers of Nordecon and Riigi Kinnisvara were good partners for us. They always listened to us – our needs and feedback were taken seriously and discussed in depth. A good example of our cooperation is the main lecture room where acceptance of our ideas helped make the space even more multifunctional. The outcome of everyone’s best efforts is a modern school that offers an inviting and friendly learning environment.
Ivo Visak
Headmaster of the Saaremaa Upper Secondary School
All members of the contractor’s team were highly professional throughout the project and quickly resolved all flaws that were detected and issues that emerged. The focus was on finding solutions.
Collaboration with the project team was very constructive and smooth. In the case of large-scale and complex projects the customer appreciates the contractor’s ability to keep to (or sometimes be ahead of) the schedule and deliver buildings and infrastructure assets on time without making any concessions on quality. This creates a solid basis for future cooperation.

Safety
One of our main responsibilities is to ensure the security of our construction sites and to create a safe and ergonomic work environment so as to prevent accidents and occupational diseases.
We consistently train and inform employees in matters related to health and safety, prepare relevant action plans for construction sites, supply everyone with proper work and personal protection equipment, and analyse incidents and accidents to prevent their recurrence. We regularly carry out walk-through inspections of our construction sites to make sure that all work is properly and safely organised. We also support our employees’ physical and mental wellbeing.
In 2021, we paid a lot of attention to preventing the spread of COVID-19 and promoting proper use of safety equipment.

Environmental impacts
We strive to avoid risks and negative environmental impacts and to keep the surrounding environment clean.
The most significant environmental aspects of the group’s operations are related to the materials used and the waste produced in the construction process, possible pollution of soil and water bodies, impacts on wildlife and vegetation, and carbon and other emissions to air. We draw up an environmental plan for each construction project and regularly check and update it. Environmental awareness and an economical approach also help avoid additional costs.
There is a clear trend towards more sustainable buildings and infrastructure. This is mainly attributable to the EU energy efficiency measures as well as a rise in the importance of green thinking and customers’ desire to reduce their maintenance costs. Our goal is to make sure that our team can implement more sustainable solutions and to advise customers who seek more environmentally friendly options.
- Green space design is becoming a trend in new building projects – in the Alma Tomingas office building and the commercial and residential complex Vektor green areas were designed along with the building.
- The use of wood and recycled materials in building construction is increasing. The trend is driven by the public sector but the interest of the private sector is growing as well. The Saaremaa Upper Secondary School and Ehituse Mäemaja, a study and research building of Tallinn University of Technology, both built by Nordecon AS, were among the finalists of the Wood Building of the Year 2021 competition.
- Group companies Tariston and Kaurits invested significantly in plant and equipment in 2021 in order to replace obsolete machines with new and more environmentally friendly ones.
Green transition is fuelling wind farm development. We can offer experience and expertise in this area. Our subsidiary NOBE has a team that was involved in the construction of the Nysäter wind farm in Sweden and is currently building the Targale wind farm in Latvia.

Giving back to society
Nordecon directly contributes to society by delivering well-planned, high-quality and safe buildings and infrastructure assets. However, we also invest in the development of the construction industry, the engineering profession and young talent.
Nordecon works closely with professional associations, universities and professional qualification authorities in all matters related to the construction business.
We make proposals for the improvement of procurement terms and conditions and the development of standards in the construction industry. We participate in cooperation projects and communicate with different stakeholder groups. Promoting the engineering profession is particularly important to make the construction business more attractive for young talent and ensure that new construction engineers will continue to enter the labour market.
- We spent €232,000 on various support activities in 2021.
- We signed a five-year cooperation agreement with Tallinn University of Technology that provides a framework for our substantive collaboration. We help create better opportunities for civil engineering students, offer internships and participate in construction-related research.
- We support initiatives, events and activities aimed at the development of digital construction such as the Digital Construction Cluster, Digital Construction Hackathon, BuildIT, Enginaator and BIMSummit Estonia.
- We became a supporter of the Estonian Association of Civil Engineers and participated in a campaign aimed at promoting construction jobs among young people.
- We supported sports for young people, education, culture and local communities.
Digital construction
Nordecon has set up a business technology department which leads new projects and makes sure that the group has a systematic approach to digitalisation. Our units and management collaborated closely in 2021. BIM and Bauhub were integrated into all projects and our staff began using them on a daily basis.
A new KPI system was created that provides a quick overview of the state of construction projects and makes the management process more effective and efficient. In addition, web-based time management and budgeting programmes were upgraded and some features of the Bauhub environment were developed to improve the documentation of construction work.
We have also implemented other IT solutions to do our work more quickly, conveniently and smartly. For example, we have Simple-BIM for budgeting, Dalux for viewing and checking 3D models on smart devices on the construction site, and BlueBeam for exchanging the content of PDF documents. Our subsidiary NOBE uses Hausing, an electronic management tool that provides both the contractor and the customer with a good overview of warranty work.

We operate an internship programme to attract young talent. Last year, interns played a bigger than usual role in our work. Interest was high and the parent company offered internships to 22 people. Interns included a lot of young women, which is a welcome development from the point of view of workforce diversity.
