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.
