Mäklarbranschen har varit omskriven i media de senaste åren och förra året presenterades det nya lagförslaget på en ny fastighetsmäklarlag. I dag finns det ingen lag som reglerar mäklarens skyldighet att uppvisa budgivningslista efter avslutad budgivning. Dock säger det nya lagförslaget: ”En fastighetsmäklare ska vara skyldig att dokumentera budgivningsprocessen och att överlämna dokumentationen till köparen och säljaren när överlåtelseavtalet är slutet, den ska också syfta till att hindra mäklaren att presentera luftbud och därigenom pressa upp priset.” Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på om lagförslaget kommer att resultera i tryggare budgivningar. Vi vill även ta reda på hur mäklarna ställer sig till budgivningsförfarandet i den nya lagen samt om deras förtroende kommer att stiga hos presumtiva köpare. Avslutningsvis vill vi även ta reda på om köparnas syn på budgivningar kommer att förändras med den nya lagen. Vi har arbetet med artiklar, studerat lagtext, utredningar, remissvar, mailkontakter samt genomfört djupintervjuer med fastighetsmäklare, köpare och en jurist. Mottagandet av den nya mäklarlagen är positivt från nästan alla håll. Man tror på ökat förtroende och en tryggare budgivning i samband med denna lagändring. Vår åsikt är att köparnas syn på budgivningar i framtiden kommer att förändras när de känner en ökad säkerhet med kommande lagstiftning. / The real estate industry have been well publicized in the media the recent years and last year a new draft law of the new real estate agent law were presented. Today there is now law governing the broker’s obligation to present the bidding list upon completion of bidding. However, the new draft law says: ”The broker should be obligated to document the bidding process and when the agreement is met, give the information to the seller and buyer, it should also aim to prevent the broker to present fake bids and thereby push up the price.” The purpose with this essay is to find out if the new law will result in safer auctions. We also want to find out how the real estate agents’ attitude to the bidding procedure in the new and if their trust will rise in potential buyers. Finally, we also want to find out whether the new law will change the buyers’ view on the bidding process. We have been working with articles, studied the text, inquiries, responses, email contacts, and conducted interviews with real estate agents, buyers and a lawyer. The reception of the new law is positive from almost all quarters. Due to the legislative change the, belief is that the trust will rise. The buyers’ view of the bidding process in the future will change when they feel greater safety in future legislation.

Stockholm växer och infrastrukturen byggs ut. Infrastrukturprojekten upphandlas allt mer som totalentreprenader vilket ställer höga krav på att samarbetet mellan entreprenörer och konsulter fungerar bra. Ett fungerande samarbete bygger på bra förståelse och syftet med detta examensarbete var att, för Sweco Civil AB:s räkning, öka konsulternas förståelse för entreprenörerna med förhoppningen att utveckla samarbetet parterna emellan. Resultatet baserades på intervjuer med entreprenörer och konsulter. Intervjuerna utfördes med tre konsulter från Sweco och fem entreprenörer från olika företag, som alla hade en roll i totalentreprenader. Resultatet visar att återkommande problem som uppstår i samarbetet mellan parterna under projekteringen var kommunikation, bristfälliga handlingar och att konsulterna överlag uppfattas ha svårt att hålla tidplaner. Entreprenörerna förväntade sig att konsulterna skulle leverera byggbara handlingar med god kvalitet i rätt tid. Resultatet visar även att faktorerna som påverkade entreprenörernas val av konsulter skiljdes åt mellan de svenska och de utländska entreprenörerna. För att uppnå en god kommunikation kan parterna inte undanhålla information från varandra. De måste kommunicera sina förutsättningar och ta hänsyn till dessa. Undersökningen visar att konsulterna måste medverka vid samordningen av tidplanerna för att ha möjlighet att leverera i tid med önskad kvalitet. Med hjälp av fler frekventa platsbesök alternativt projektkontor kan förståelsen för produktionen i konsultens organisation öka och därmed utveckla handlingarna mot entreprenörens krav / Stockholm is growing and the infrastructure expands. Infrastructure projects are increasingly being procured as design and build contracts. This impose high demands on cooperation between contractors and consultants. Functional cooperation is based on good understanding and the purpose of this study was to, on behalf of Sweco Civil AB, increase the consultants' understanding of the contractors with the hope of developing better cooperation between the parties. The result is based on interviews with contractors and consultants. The interviews were held with three consultants from Sweco and five contractors from different companys, all of whom had a role in design and build contracts. The results show that repetitive problems that arose in the cooperation between the parties during the procurement were bad communication, insufficient construction documents and that the consultants had difficulties to deliver on time. The contractors expected the consultants to deliver quality construction documents according to schedule. The results also show that the factors influencing the contractors' choice of consultants differ between the Swedish and the foreign contractors. In order to achieve good communication, the parties cannot withhold information from each other. They must communicate their preconditions and take them into account. The study shows that consultants must participate in the coordination of timetables in order to be able to deliver on time with desired quality. With the help of more frequent site visits or alternatively project offices, the understanding of production can increase in the consultant’s organizations. Thus, developing the construction documents against the contractor's requirements.

In the construction industry, there are various methods for how the client and contractor should work together. Historically, most contracts have been awarded through traditional cooperation, resulting in limited collaboration between the contractor and the client. In recent times, partnering has become increasingly common, based on close collaboration between the client and the contractor. As partnering has gained popularity, the profitability of different collaboration forms has come under scrutiny, as well as which collaboration form contributes to the highest quality of the final product and the lowest cost for the client. The purpose of this work is to examine how incentives and competition will affect the different parties’ approach to risk management within the different collaboration forms. This will be done through three different methods: a literature study, a case study, and interviews, clearly demonstrating how risk management varies depending on the collaboration form applied in the project. The literature study forms the basis for the analysis of the case study and the formulation of the questions asked in the interviews. The case study compares the risk and opportunity assessments of two ongoing construction projects, one using traditional cooperation and the other using partnering. The interview study is based on seven interviews with relevant respondents, each offering their perspective on the collaboration forms. The work shows that incentives and competition will influence the parties eagerness to work with risk management to the extent that it is profitable. Since many partnering agreements have somewhat loose reins, it means that the client must take on greater responsibility for a partnering project to become profitable. The work also highlights that competition will have a significant impact on the contractor's risk allocations depending on the collaboration form applied in the project.

Public procurement amounts to a significant part of Sweden's GDP. Nevertheless, it is an overlooked sector characterized by low digitization and inefficient competition where bids are not submitted based on proper mathematical tools. This Thesis seeks to create a structured approach to bidding in cleaning services by determining factors affecting the participation and pricing decision of potential buyers. Furthermore, we assess price prediction by comparing multiple linear regression models (MLR) to support vector regression (SVR). In line with previous research in the construction sector, we find significance for several factors such as project duration, location and type of contract on the participation decision in the cleaning sector. One notable deviant is that we do not find contract size to have an impact on the pricing decision. Surprisingly, the performance of MLR are comparable to more advanced SVR models. Stochastic dominance tests on price performance concludes that experienced bidders perform better than their inexperienced counterparts and companies place more competitive bids in lowest price tenders compared to economically most advantageous tenders (EMAT) indicating that EMAT tenders are regarded as unstructured. However, no significance is found for larger actors performing better in bidding than smaller companies. / Offentliga upphandlingar utgör en signifikant del av Sveriges BNP. Trots detta är det en förbisedd sektor som karakteriseras av låg digitalisering och ineffektiv konkurrens där bud läggs baserat på intuition snarare än matematiska modeller. Denna avhandling ämnar skapa ett strukturerat tillvägagångssätt för budgivning inom städsektorn genom att bestämma faktorer som påverkar deltagande och prissättning. Vidare undersöker vi prisprediktionsmodeller genom att jämföra multipel linjära regressionsmodeller med en maskininlärningsmetod benämnd support vector regression. I enlighet med tidigare forskning i byggindustrin finner vi att flera faktorer som typ av kontrakt, projekttid och kontraktsplats har en statistisk signifikant påverkan på deltagande i kontrakt i städindustrin. En anmärkningsvärd skillnad är att kontraktsvärdet inte påverkar prissättning som tidigare forskning visat i andra områden. För prisprediktionen är det överraskande att den enklare linjära regressionsmodellen presterar jämlikt till den mer avancerade maskininlärningsmodellen. Stokastisk dominanstest visar att erfarna företag har en bättre precision i sin budgivning än mindre erfarna företag. Därtill lägger företag överlag mer konkurrenskraftiga bud i kontrakt där kvalitetsaspekter tas i beaktning utöver priset. Vilket kan indikera att budgivare upplever dessa kontrakt som mindre strukturerade. Däremot finner vi ingen signifikant skillnad mellan större och mindre företag i denna bemärkning.

Detta examensarbete skrevs under höstterminen 2014 i samarbete med Peab region Bygg Öst 1 i Stockholm och syftar till att utreda hur dem arbetar med BIM i praktiken. Examensarbetaren fördjupar sig i ämnesområdet BIM och hur användningen av den 3D tekniken kan se ut i praktiken i arbetslivet. För att avgränsa arbetet skrevs det om byggnadsinformationsmodellering  BIM, vid tre skeden i byggprocessen, anbud- och kalkylskede, projektering, produktion samt visualisering som sker vid olika tillfällen under hela byggprocessen. Arbetet innehåller även en redogörelse för investering av 3D skrivare hos Peab Bygg Öst 1, syftet med investeringen är bland annat för att utveckla ett arbetssätt med 3D teknik och visualiseringar framöver. Anledningen till att arbetet behandlar olika skeden är för att erhålla bred inblick och förståelse om ämnesområdet. Rapporten behandlar frågeställningar som syftar till att identifiera BIM som teknik och arbetssätt, hur Bygg Öst 1 arbetar med BIM i praktiken samt hur man vill arbeta med det framöver. Arbetet innehåller även redovisning av ett internt projekt som examensarbetaren utförde hos företaget. Interna projektet syftar till att utveckla anbud och kalkylskedet med BIM. Arbetet är baserat på studier i ämnet samt platsbesök på projekt inom Bygg Öst 1. Resultaten som erhölls från intervjustudierna visar hur man arbetar med BIM vid de olika pågående projekten för bland annat kollisionshantering, arbetsberedningar samt olika typer av visualiseringar med mera. Sammanfattningsvis syftar BIM till att effektivisera, såsom att reducera eventuellt uppkommande fel och säkerställa moment i byggprocessen. En jämförelse av litteratur- och intervjustudierna medförde förståelse för ämnesområdets användningsområden och omfattning. BIM är ett brett ämnesområde och det praktiska tillvägagångssättet med 3D tekniken kan tillämpas på olika sätt hos ett företag, vilket kan vara beroende av ambition och arbetssätt hos företaget. När man implementerar BIM i arbetssättet medför det inte direkta lösningar eller strategier att tillämpa i ett företag, utan implementeringen av BIM i arbetssättet kommer med utmaningar. På grund av ämnesområdets omfattning kan det vara viktigt att man har specifika mål och en tydlig bild om vad som vill uppnås med resultatet av implementeringen i arbetssättet. Det är även viktigt att veta hur mycket inverkan resultatet kommer ha på tids- eller ekonomiska besparingar. På så sätt är det möjligt att erhålla förståelse om hur implementeringen av tekniken kan ske och vilka vinningar som kan erhållas. / This thesis was written during the autumn term 2014 in cooperation with Peab region Bygg Öst 1 in Stockholm. The writing aims to investigate how they work with Building Information Modeling, BIM, in practice and increase understanding in how you can use the 3D technology in the professional working life. In order to define the thesis it has been written about three stages in the construction process: offer- and costing stage (construction bidding), projecting (preconstruction phase) and production (construction execution). Besides that the thesis also includes how BIM is used for visualization of the project and a report containing an investment of 3D printer has also been fulfilled. Additionally, the thesis also contains a description of an internal project that the writer has performed in the company. The internal project aims to develop the offer- and costing stage with BIM. The writing is based on studies on the subject and visits to some of Bygg Öst 1 ongoing projects. Results from the interview studies indicate that Peab Bygg Öst 1 in Stockholm is working with BIM for example collision handlings, preparation for big parts in the production, different types of visualizations and more. In short, the technology is used for ensuring the occasions in the construction process to improve the efficiency. The comparing of the literature and the interview study led to an understanding of the field of the subject and how wide it is. BIM is a broad topic and this 3D technology can be applied in work methods in different ways. The technique does not provide ready-made solutions or strategies to implement in a company, it has been learned that the implementation comes with some challenges. Because the technique is broad it may be beneficial that there are specific goals about what should be achieved in the result of the implementation of BIM in the construction process in order to ensure what achievements obtained with the help of the technology.

The study is mainly to reflect on how the two members of the European Union, Sweden and Finland has chosen to implement the directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union. To limit the study the focus has been to investigate the width of ‘conflict of interest’ as well as the width of ‘contracting authorities’. The conflict of interest may appear in all phases within the purchasing process with a risk for unjust advantages for the wanted supplier or the opposite, where a supplier is excluded by purpose. The actual procurement process is presented in the study in a wider context where the procurement document, the publication of the document as well as the establishing of the winning tender is defined as the second phase. The total process of purchasing begins with a first phase, the analysis of the actual need, market orientation and an evaluating of the previous contract. The third phase, contract management, is very critical as the risk of becoming caught altering the contracts during the term is low. Therefore, is not only the conflict of interest connected to the prior involvement of candidates or tenderers that need to be addressed. The regulation of the two national procurement laws does not contain the wider sense of conflict of interest. Instead, one Finnish inferior law, regulating administration and conflict of interest there in, appears to be the most comprehensive legislation to include all organizations that the procurement law applies to. The Swedish regulation as oppose to the Finnish spread out on a general administrative law and a law applied to the municipal organizations. However, this is not including all the organizations that must process their procurations according to law. The legislator refers to the constitutional principle, the principle of equality, and a mandate for the procurement authority to support all procurement organizations that are obliged to implement procurement under public procurement laws. Above is a simplified description of how the procurement directive has been implemented in Sweden and Finland. What has been noted is that is does not appear to be any penalties for those who shows a behavior indicating that there is a conflict of interest in any of the steps of the purchasing process. On the other hand, it is the contracting organization that may face penalties such as a waste of resources when a procurement is reviewed and fails, which means further time spent on yet another process of procurement. A contracting organization that does not manage its contracts according to the stated demands in the procurement might make such incorrect purchases or concessions that could lead to considerable sanctions.

The basis of any contract is the agreement of two or more parties. In traditional Swedish and English contract law theory, a contract is formed through the reciprocal exchange of an offer and a corresponding acceptance. Together, these declarations of will represent the common intent of the parties, which binds them to their respective contractual obligations and determines the contents of the contract. In the contemporary commercial sector, the use of standard forms (i.e., sets of terms that have not been individually negotiated) has become more prevalent. This has led to the rise of a particular legal issue, called the “battle of forms”: a situation where both parties refer to their own, conflicting, standard forms during the formation of contract, where after they proceed in fulfilling their contractual obligations. Consequently, the exchanged declarations of will lack conformity in these cases, and there is no discernible common will of the parties. In order to conclude that a contract has been formed, and to decide its contents, this conflict needs to be resolved. The traditional approach to resolving the issue of battle of forms in English law is to regard the last referenced standard terms in the contractual negotiations as an offer (or counter-offer), and the other party’s conduct as an acceptance. This approach largely corresponds with how the issue likely would be resolved according to traditional Swedish contract law principles. However, in the legal scientific environments of both Sweden and England, ideas and concepts of a modern contract law has developed. Included therein is the idea of taking a more flexible stance with regard to the formation of contract. When viewing the contractual relationship holistically, and partly liberated from the offer-acceptance approach, the battle of forms can be resolved by letting the court construe the different sets of terms together, and re-place conflicting terms with suitable substitutes by implication. These modern concepts have partly manifested in recent English precedence regarding the battle of forms. Considering that the patterns of development with respect to the modern law of contract are similar in Swedish and English law, there is reason to believe that a similar “new” approach to the battle of forms might be adopted by Swedish courts as well.
