Veidekke has signed a contract with Lumber AS (Skeie Eiendom/the Eidjord family)
to construct a seven-story environmentally certified office building in Vågsbygd
outside Kristiansand. The project is a turnkey contract worth just over NOK 160
million excl. VAT.

"Environmentally and climate-friendly projects are something we greatly
appreciate being able to carry out. It is particularly nice to have a new
customer in Skeie Eiendom with such a strong and clear commitment to sustainable
and innovative construction projects. We look forward to a mutually good
collaboration and thank you as nicely as we can for the project and the trust,"
says district manager Atle Monan in Veidekke Bygg Agder.

The project has been named Lumber 5 and will be approximately 6,600 m2 spread
over seven floors. The building will be certified according to the environmental
standard BREEAM-NOR Very Good with energy class A. Emphasis is placed on
circular and sustainable use of materials and great flexibility in the floor
plans. The supporting structure will be made of glued laminated timber, the
facade will be clad with pine heartwood and there will be solar panels on the
roof.

The first floor will contain a canteen, laboratory, workshop, warehouse and
auditorium for approximately 60 people, while the second floor will be a gym
with changing rooms. The remaining floors are planned to have flexible office
space that can be adapted to the tenants.

"We continue the construction of sustainable buildings and have emphasized
Veidekke's experience with this and the company's implementation ability. This
is building number five in our development of Lumber Teknopark, which will
accommodate a total of 58,000 m2 of commercial space," says CEO Tom Bredesen of
Skeie Eiendom.

Construction work will begin immediately with completion planned for the summer
of 2026. The contract will be included in Veidekke's order reserve for the first
quarter of 2025.
