In 2013, Danish architects, consulting engineers and contractors
saw a 16.5 percent decline in international turnover compared to
2012. The main reason for the overall decline is to be found in a
horrible year for Danish Contractors, where the companies have
adapted a more risk adverse strategy focusing more on the home
market. The bankruptcy of a large contractor in 2013 and lengthy
procedures by public entities to approve new projects have also
played a major role in the disappointing figures. Danish architects
and consulting engineers have fared better in 2013. The figures for
the Danish architects are somewhat misleading. The Danish architects are as busy as ever on international projects, but the turnover this year is based on reports from fewer companies compared
to previous ones. This combined with an increase in payment
time on projects has resulted in a lower turnover. Danish consulting engineers continue their growth on the international market
and increased their turnover by 4 percent from 2012 to 2013.
About the Export Profile
The aim of the Export Profile is to show the extent of international work and projects. The Profile is based on data from
member companies from the Danish Association of Architectural Firms, the Danish Association of Consulting Engineers
(FRI) and the Danish Construction Association, as there is no
representative data available from Statistics Denmark.

The Norwegian market is very attractive due to its stability and the
high volume of ongoing and planned projects combined with few
cultural barriers for Danish operators. Danish architects, contractors and consulting engineers have therefore established a strong
presence on the Norwegian market with many subsidiaries, which
generate the majority (82.6 percent) of the turnover.
