The Oslo model brings transparency to the construction sector

The view is dizzying as one of the construction workers climb the steps at the top of the new Munch Museum which is being built in Oslo. The museum will be more than a shop window for Norwegian culture; the construction project is also meant to be a showcase for fair competition and working conditions in the construction industry.

Three cultural landmarks under construction

Oslo is experiencing a building boom. Parallell with the construction of the new Munch Museum, two other cultural landmarks are scheduled to finish next year: A new central library and a new National Art Museum. The three buildings will have a combined area of 100 000 square metres in total.

The Oslo model in short
  • Those working on commission from the City of Oslo should mainly be on permanent contracts.
  • At least 50 percent of those carrying out the work should be certified.
  • There should be at least ten percent apprentices in areas where this is needed.
  • All workers must be registered from day one.
  • A right to insight into all issues that are relevant to the contract.
  • Only one layer of subcontractors.
  • No cash payments. All transactions must be electronic.
