Groundwork before the frost
We dig until November, after that the ground stays frozen until spring. Drainage, foundations and yards still fit in now.
Everything in English
Calls, WhatsApp, quote and contract in English. Michiel lives in Tingsryd and knows the rules here.
Works while you are away
Leave a key with a neighbour or in a key safe and we get started. The price is fixed up front and we can do the handover by video.
Photos every Friday
You see progress every week. When a decision comes up, we set up a ten minute video call.
Swedish rules handled
We apply for the bygglov, bring in a certified electrician and plumber, and waterproof to the Swedish rules. So your insurance holds.

We start on the day we agreed. You get photos every Friday. We do the handover together, on site or by video, and the invoice follows afterwards.

The tricky part
The order of work. The excavator has to reach the foundation while the scaffolding is standing against the barn, so we take one step at a time instead of opening up the whole yard at once.
Your builder in Tingsryd and the whole region
We work from Törnamåla in the middle of Tingsryd municipality. Växjö, Älmhult, Ronneby and Karlshamn are all under an hour away.
Work out your ROT deduction
Since 1 January 2026 the Swedish ROT deduction is 30 percent of the labour cost, up to 50 000 kronor per person per year. Materials and travel are excluded. We take it straight off the invoice.
More about the ROT deductionWhat customers say
We ask for a Google review after every finished project. The first ones will appear here shortly.
Good to know
Do I qualify for the ROT deduction as a foreign owner?
Only if you pay tax in Sweden. If you live abroad with no Swedish income, usually not. Michiel explains what applies in your case at the first call so the quote is right.
Do I need a building permit (bygglov)?
A roof in the same material, a deck lower than 1.8 metres and an attefallshus (up to 30 m²) usually need a notification or nothing at all. Extensions and new window openings need a bygglov from Tingsryd municipality. We handle the application.
How does it work if I am not there?
Key with a neighbour or in a key safe, fixed price up front, photos every Friday, handover by video. You pay by bank transfer from wherever you are.
How long does a new roof take?
A roof of around 120 m² takes seven to ten working days in sheet metal, a little longer in concrete tiles. The roof is closed up every evening.
What guarantee do I get?
Swedish consumer law gives you ten years to report defects. We use the Swedish standard contract Hantverkarformuläret 17 or ABS 18 so everything is on paper.
