Construction subcontracting and crews for projects in Norway

Ways of working together

• Subcontracting under a contract for work (entreprise)

  We deliver an agreed result under our own management, with our own foreman and tools, and are responsible for our scope. In Norway, whether an arrangement is genuine subcontracting or labour hire is assessed on how the work is actually organised, not on what the contract is called.

• Provision of workers

  Hiring workers out from staffing agencies (innleie) for construction work on sites is restricted in Norway and not permitted in several counties, including Oslo, so for construction we offer genuine subcontracting, not labour hire.

• Direct hire

  We select specialists whom you employ.

Whose capacity works on your project

• —Our own workers and foremen – when they are free for your project period.
• —Partner crews and subcontractors we work with under contract.
• —Specialists selected for the specific order.

The offer states which capacity will work, who manages the work and who employs the workers. We do not promise headcounts or dates in advance – we confirm them against the specific requirement.

How cooperation works

1. 01

   Enquiry

   Type of work, location, trades, approximate numbers and timing – as much as you know. An e-mail address is enough.

2. 02

   Assessment and offer

   We check feasibility and the legal model and prepare an individual written offer.

3. 03

   Contract and documents

   We agree scope, responsibilities and accommodation, and prepare the documents the host country requires.

4. 04

   Mobilisation and work

   The team arrives according to the agreed plan, and you have one contact person for the whole project.

Documents and compliance

• —EU/EEA workers posted to Norway carry an A1 for social security — this is not the right to work. Workers who are not EU/EEA nationals usually need a Norwegian residence and work permit from UDI, unless a specific exemption applies; a residence permit from another EEA country does not by itself give the right to work in Norway. The requirement, or any exemption, is confirmed per worker before work starts.
• —The assignment and the posted workers are reported to the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten): the client reports the contract (RF-1199) and the contractor reports its workers (RF-1198).
• —Every worker on a Norwegian construction site must hold a valid HMS card (HMS-kort), required by Arbeidstilsynet, and pay follows the generally applicable (allmenngjort) collective agreement for construction.

The specific requirements depend on the type of work, the contract model and the workers' status, so we confirm them separately for each project. This information is not legal advice and does not imply automatic approval or eligibility.

Accommodation

We recommend that the client or main contractor provides accommodation. We also accept other options: arranged by Nonstop Group under a separate agreement, costs reimbursed or shared, another solution, or terms still to be agreed.
