Ekonod

The Future of Smarter, Greener, Faster Buildings

Across the real estate sector, municipalities, developers, and construction partners face increasing pressure to reduce emissions, cut costs, and speed up delivery timelines – all while meeting tighter sustainability targets and regulatory demands. From EU directives to ESG metrics, climate policies to consumer expectations, the pressure is rising. But the real barrier isn’t technology. It’s disconnection.

Too often, buildings are still designed, engineered, and built in silos – with installations and energy systems treated as afterthoughts. This causes misalignment, delays, inefficiencies, and missed climate goals.

Ekonod changes that.

Ekonod is an operating system for smart property development – bringing together modular systems, climate intelligence, and digital control in a flexible platform.

It is a modular project and system platform that simplifies the way energy, building services, and climate-smart infrastructure are planned and delivered in property projects. Through standardised components, digital planning tools, and validated system logic, we reduce risk, improve margins, and make it easier to meet ESG requirements – from the early project phase through to long-term operation.

Ekonod is not a product – it is a way of working. In some projects, we deliver a complete installation package. In others, we engage early as a partner, configuring solutions based on the project’s goals, conditions, and business model. Our delivery is scalable and flexible – from individual components to full turnkey solutions in building services, energy, and climate systems.

At its core is a digitally controlled delivery process that makes buildings smarter over time.
By using digital tools and structured planning, we enable efficient operation, preventive maintenance, and system-level performance monitoring. This makes it easier to make informed decisions, track climate impact, and ensure long-term functionality.

Every delivery includes climate and ESG data from day one.
This gives developers, property investors, and asset owners a clear decision-making foundation – whether the project involves residential buildings, public sector properties, or commercial premises.

Behind it all is the Nordnest House – our systematic model for sustainable construction and business development.
Here, we have gathered the most value-creating building blocks to scale quality, reduce waste, and future-proof both buildings and investments.

In traditional projects, installations – which drive most of the building’s energy performance – are usually designed last. Ekonod flips this, putting them at the core from day one.

Our platform combines:

Early-stage system definition

Modular and scalable delivery

Embedded smart metering and diagnostic potential

Certified, ESG-aligned configurations

With Ekonod, you move from designing in uncertainty to configuring with confidence.

Ekonod allows for precise cost and ROI estimation earlier than conventional construction models. Because our installations are pre-engineered and modular, we can provide reliable pricing and energy performance forecasts before the full architectural design is locked in.

While traditional projects only arrive at accurate cost estimates after multiple design and engineering rounds, Ekonod brings that certainty up front – reducing waste, shortening timelines, and helping clients make more confident investment decisions.

This is made possible because:

Installation systems are predefined and modelled from earlier real-world projects

Energy, maintenance, and capex profiles are known in advance

The building does not need to be standardized to benefit- just configured

Ekonod packages the most complex, performance-critical parts of the building into a system, allowing project teams to model return on investment, lifecycle performance, and construction budget before locking in a single drawing.

And it works without fixed floorplans or cookie-cutter housing. The architecture remains flexible. The systems remain smart. The result: creative freedom for architects, cost predictability for developers, and risk reduction for investors.

Ekonod integrates seamlessly into turnkey delivery models, including ABT 06 contracts – Sweden’s design-and-build standard. We often deliver via Devnest, our joint company with Devoco, combining Nordnest’s system expertise with Devoco’s build capabilities.

Together, we act as one team from early design to final delivery – creating smoother, faster, and more sustainable outcomes.

With Ekonod, we don’t just build smarter – we build calmer. Each apartment becomes a defined installation station. Our teams move through in sequence, reducing trades overlap, noise, and confusion. This improves quality control and accelerates timelines.

Ekonod includes:

Integrated fire safety, waterproofing, and moisture detection

Compatibility with energy-as-a-service and tenant-level billing

Long-term insurance alignment and ESG reporting readiness

By unifying smart data, environmental systems, and repeatable processes, we give developers and property owners the infrastructure to build long-term value – not just compliant buildings.

Architects – Creative freedom, without compromising technical feasibility. Ekonod separates system logic from structure, allowing design to flourish without post-planning friction.

Developers – Predictable costs, faster revenue, and lower risk. Ekonod lets you scale ambition step-by-step, from one module to full systems.

Construction Companies – Cleaner sites, clearer roles, and fewer coordination headaches. Ekonod simplifies workforce planning and improves on-site speed.

Municipalities – Deliver certified, climate-aligned buildings with lower procurement risk. Ekonod supports urban growth and ESG goals.

Investors – Standardized complexity, de-risked delivery, and green-ready performance. Ekonod supports replicable, financeable projects.

Financiers – Early cost visibility, certified metrics, and fewer construction delays. Ekonod strengthens eligibility for green loans and bonds.

We often demonstrate Ekonod’s value through side-by-side comparisons:

Same layout: traditional vs Ekonod

Faster build, lower risk, fewer change orders

ROI and lifecycle value up front

We show that smarter building isn’t just a design upgrade – it’s a better business case.

Ekonod is more than a product. It’s a new way to deliver sustainable buildings. Smarter in process. Greener in output. Faster in time to revenue.

We make smarter development possible by replacing linear workflows with modular systems. We make it greener by embedding circular logic and energy tech from day one. We make it faster by reducing chaos and bringing factory discipline on-site.

Ekonod is how we turn vision into delivery – one module, one system, one building at a time.
