the Vision of BispeBjerg Bakke - Realdania Byg

The caps were projecting high above the
roof and that didn’t look right. We then
managed to lower them five centimetres,
so now it looks correct. But if you don’t
visit the site, you don’t see that kind of
thing. The fact that Jesper Holm, Torben
Sørensen and I held our meetings here
on the site has been crucial. Sometimes
it helps to open your eyes!” NCC is part
of the so-called BygSol – a collaboration
between educational institutions, companies
and professional organisations that
have the common objective of creating
a new and improved building process.
Besides the partnering model, NCC has
also worked with Lean Construction and
the so-called BygLOK in connection with
Bispebjerg Bakke. ”BygLOK means learning
from each other on the level of the
craftsmen. They tell us how they experience
the building process and what
they would like done differently. And in
the same way we tell them how we see
things”, says Torben Sørensen. Kim Cordsen
says about the collaboration between
craftsmen and other professions: ”It has
been really, really good. Normally we
don’t collaborate like that. Quite often
you are handed a drawing on the site and
you think: Why do they do it this way?
In that sense it has been a really good
experience to be able to leave our mark
on the building”. Also the collaboration
with Bjørn Nørgaard worked well. ”When
he saw the brickwork starting to rise
from the ground, he was so happy”, says
Kim Cordsen. And Bjørn Nørgaard is not
the only one who is happy. It has been
Klaus Bonde Larsen’s experience that the
craftsmen were generally very enthusiastic
about working at Bispebjerg Bakke.
”The eyes of the bricklayers shine, when
they talk about the building, and they
take their families to see what they have
done. There is a lot of craftsman’s pride”,
he says. Kim Cordsen confirms this. The
atmosphere on the building site has been
really good, he explains. ”In the beginning
the men on my team were sceptical,
because it was so different. But when
The Building Site
Close to 20 different groups of craftsmen have worked at the building site. Initially, 25-50
people worked on the site, but almost 150 worked there in the most intensive phase of
the building process.
