Abstract [sv]

Studien avsåg att undersöka hur byggföretag inom Sveriges gränser påverkats av de omständigheterna som präglade världen under åren 2020–2023, varav fokuset i denna studie ligger på byggföretagens utmaningar i samband med Covid-19 och kriget i Ukraina. Genom att fokusera på dessa samband ska studien ge en inblick i byggföretagens situation och upplevelser inom ämnet, vilket således bidrar med en ökad kunskap som ger möjlighet till framtida problemlösning och vidare forskning.

Studien genomfördes i form av en enkätundersökning där frågorna berörde de problem och möjligheter byggföretag i Sverige har ställts inför under Covid-19 pandemin samt kriget i Ukraina. Resultatet visade att byggföretagen hade påverkats både positivt och negativt, varav en slutsats som drogs var kopplingen mellan en ökad efterfrågan på byggtjänster under Covid-19 och leveransproblem, vilket ledde till att materialpriser samt byggföretagens kostnader sköt kraftigt i höjden. Positiva effekter som kunde identifieras till följd av dessa omständigheter var byggföretagens ökade medvetenhet om noggrann planering, bättre framförhållning i deras projekt och mer samverkande transpor

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this essay was to study the impact of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine on the construction industry in Sweden. By focusing on the trials and tribulations that followed as a consequence of these circumstances during the period of 2020 – 2023, this essay aims to identify the situations and experiences of the construction companies which will provide better understanding of the subject, possibilities for future problem solving and the framework for continued research.

The study was performed as a questionnaire survey where the questions were designed to gather information about the challenges and opportunities that the construction companies in Sweden faced during the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. The result of the study showed that these circumstances had both positive and negative impacts on the construction industry, where one conclusion which was drawn was the connection between a temporarily increased demand in construction services during the Covid-19 pandemic and delivery problems, which led to heavily increased prices on materials in demand and therefore high costs for the construction companies as well. There were some positive effects that could be identified as well as a result of this study, such as the construction companies experiencing an increased awareness of careful planning in their projects and better collaboration in transports.
