Today’s control plan process is problematic according to the Swedish National Board of Housing. Unclear legislation has led to municipalities approving flawed control plans, since different actors have made different interpretations. Which highlights the lack of an established standard for the control plan process. Indicating a need for standardized control points guaranteeing a certain level of quality. BIMformation requested a standardized template for their digital tool ASK. Where the template would be a tool for effectivization of the control plan process. The template would also be available for other actors and not bound to ASK. This thesis investigates if it is possible to create an industry-wide standard, in the form of a template with control points for new construction of apartment buildings. To achieve this, control plans from previous apartment building projects have been collected from Swedish municipalities and control managers. Their contents were analyzed and the control points present in more than half were identified and compiled into a table. The result is table of 23 shared control points categorized after the Swedish Nation Board of Housing’s building regulations’ (BBR) chapters.  A survey was created to evaluate the result and answer the question of to what extent the compiled template could be implemented in practice. The results were diverging but indicated that the template did function as a minimum level standardization. With possibilities to add individual control points to make the control plan fit the project at hand. The control point template will then be an aid in creating control plans. The content should however be evaluated further to allow for identification of other potential issues. After which it could be used for an actual construction project. The template could be part of a more effective and qualitative control plan process that in the future could be used on a national level independent of differing directives from different municipalities. / Dagens kontrollplansprocess är problematisk enligt Boverket. Otydlig lagstiftning har lett till att kommuner godkänt bristfälliga kontrollplaner, då olika aktörer gjort egna tolkningar. Vilket belyser avsaknaden av en etablerad standard för kontrollplansarbetet. Det indikerar ett behov av standardiserade kontrollpunkter vilka garanterar en viss kvalitetsnivå. BIMformation efterfrågade en standardiserad mall för deras digitala verktyg ASK. Där mallen skulle utgöra ett verktyg för effektivisering av kontrollplansarbetet. Mallen skulle också vara tillgänglig för andra aktö-reroch inte bunden till ASK.  Detta examensarbete undersöker om det går att skapa en branschgemen-samstandard i form av en mall med kontrollpunkter för nyproduktion av flerbostadshus. För att åstadkomma detta, har kontrollplaner från ti-digareflerbostadshusprojekt samlats in från Sveriges kommuner och kontrollansvariga. Innehållet i kontrollplanerna analyserades och de kontrollpunkter som förekom på 50 procent eller mer identifierades och sammanställdes i en tabell. Resultatet visar en tabell (tabell 4.1) innehål-landes23 kontrollpunkter kategoriserade efter BBR:s kapitel. En enkätundersökning skapades för att utvärdera resultatet och svara på frågeställningen i vilken utsträckning den mall av kontrollpunkter som tagits fram kunde användas i praktiken. Resultatet var delat, men indi-keradeatt mallen fungerade som en fast grund med minimikrav. Det ska vara möjligt att lägga till individuella kontrollpunkter så kontrollplanen anpassas efter det aktuella projektet. Kontrollpunktsmallen blir då ett hjälpmedel som förenklar kontrollplansarbetet. Innehållet kan dock ut-värderasytterligare för att identifiera andra eventuella brister. Därefter hade det varit aktuellt att använda mallen i ett skarpt byggnadsprojekt. Mallen kan vara en väg till en mer effektiv och kvalitativ kontrollplans-processsom på sikt ska kunna användas på nationell nivå oberoende av olika direktiv från olika kommuner.

The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning have been conducting housing needs assessments since 1995 (Boverket 2015). The latest assessment was conducted in 2015 and showed that 71,000 homes will need to be built annually by 2020. To be able to contribute to building more homes, Willhem AB is carrying out a project called ”Så bygger vi för alla”. As part of the work, this thesis will examine the building rules and how they can contribute to innovation. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate which rules, laws and norms we have to keep to in Sweden regarding housing construction. The aim of the work is to investigate whether the regulatory framework can create creativity amongst the players in the market. This thesis is limited to examining which laws, government policies and eventual municipal requirements that exist in Sweden. Therefore, industry rules, such as the AMA, and contracting regulations, such as AB and ABT, will not be taken into consideration. The survey is also limited to newly built multifamily houses only. Finally, the reference objects that are studied in the thesis will be in Sweden and be limited to being either construction-technical or plan-based innovative and have been recently executed. This thesis is based on the existing regulations and theories from previous studies. The data collected for this survey will be studied from a qualitative point of view. The survey aims to investigate a number of reference objects more thoroughly and conduct interviews with key people involved in the project, which means a qualitative approach is best suited. In 1987, Sweden received a new building legislation according to Örnhall (2017), which has resulted in a transition from specification requirements to functional requirements in order to increase the liberty in housing production. However, according to Örnhall (2017 the new legislation has contributed to a wider picture of the regulatory framework. The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning is the authority that has the overall responsibility for community planning, urban development, construction and housing (Nordstrand 2008). The most important laws and government policies that the social planning sector primarily have to obey are the Planning and Building Act (PBL), the Planning and Building Regulation (PBF) as well as and the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (BBR) (Örnhall, Swedish Construction Service 2017a). The Planning and Building Act (SFS 2010:900), PBL, regulates the planning for land and water whilst the responsibility for maintaining the regulations lies with the municipalities. The purpose of PBL is to promote social development for long-term, equal, social and environmental sustainable development for today’s society and future generations (SFS 2010: 900). When creating new homes, special consideration should be given to long term use of the home (Boverket 2016). At the interview stage, six areas emerged that were considered to be particularly problematic or interesting for the development of innovative and cheap housing. These areas were; accessibility, municipal requirements, rules, advice and interpretations, energy, innovation and development, and the ability to build for everyone. I perceived the accessibility aspect as very complex. Several interviewees argue that the accessibility requirements entail an increased cost for new builds, in one case it was even expressed that today’s availability requirements means the housing becomes less accessible to a larger group. The rules for creating an inclusive society also emerged at the interview stage while another recurring opinion is the renewal of the legislation. Several interviewees stated that they consider the regulations to be outdated and need to be updated according to today’s society. Based on this, I found The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning requirements contradictory whilst providing support for innovation, many requirements inhibits the development of housing. Therefore, extensive research should be carried out on how people in Sweden want to live today; thereafter the regulations can be updated according to today’s needs. In one way or another, all reference objects have been at the forefront when it comes to housing development. A common factor for the various reference objects is that a major problem was identified in all projects, which led to a product or solution being developed. They show that there is not one solution to the problem, but that different solutions can be found to achieve the same goal: better housing for more people.
