ABSTRACT
The concept and the specific project are in this case primarily seen from the perspective of a contractor. NCC Construction Danmarkis one of the major Danish contractors and was established in the late 1990s as a subsidiary of the big Swedish contractor and developer NCC AB. Different facade claddings can be added to the standard building envelope thus forming what is termed different models. All models meet the European Green Building Programme requiring an extra 25 per cent reduction in energy consumption compared to current national standards. The Danske Kontorhuse (DKH) concept includes, as described above, standard cores including staircases, lift, installation shafts, handicap toilet, kitchenette, cleaning repository and general storage. In the Danske Kontorhuse concept NCC are in control of the entire value chain from conceptual design over design development to procurement, delivery and construction and have actually made the descriptions.
