Sweden Container Construction Information

Sweden is perhaps the most well-known Nordic country in Northern Europe. Despite a relatively small population of about 10 million, the country is well known for its history and present-day culture.

Sweden is a long, narrow country that is vertically oriented, so it has exposure to a large variety of latitudes. In the south are the major population centers along with a narrow sea border with Denmark. The north is more remote, covered with forests, and partially crosses the Arctic Circle.

Due to its robust economy and highly educated populace, Sweden is considered ahead of the curve with regard to how it handles construction. Building regulations in Sweden are controlled by the Boverket, which is the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building, and Planning.

Responsibility for the execution and enforcement of construction regulations in Sweden is divided among entities at the country, county, and municipality levels. And Sweden has clear information about the specifics of their building codes as part of the Boverket. Additionally, further clarifying information is available in English from the Building Sweden initiative.
