Regional Distribution

  • Stockholm County: ~11,400 associations (~36% of the national total).

Why the BRF Sector is a Prime B2B Target

Unlike individual homeowners, housing associations command large budgets and significant project scope. At the same time, decision cycles are faster than government agencies because choices are made directly by resident board members.

Primary services procured by BRF boards include:

  • Property & Financial Management: Multi-year operational contracts.
  • Energy & EV Charging: Solar installations, smart metering, and EV charging infrastructure.
  • Renovations: Facades, window replacements, roofing, and pipe relining.
  • Facility Care: Stairwell cleaning, snow removal, and elevator maintenance.
