The regulations that form the basis of the construction sector not only hamper productivity, but also quality, innovation and customer focus. They counteract change by being too regulated and the result is similar in that everyone must relate to the same industry standard and the same framework in the form of rules. Apartments have had a steady rise in prices over recent decades, statistics suggest that the price of apartments in recent years was higher than ever before. The majority of Sweden's residents living in apartment buildings today live in rental apartments, which is because of the simple reason that purchasing an apartment is expensive and a large sum of money is required to be able to afford a down payment. Many of the homes that are built today are produced on market terms with limited options. This results in newly produced homes being targeted at those with a good income and low-income earners being given lower priority. Apartments with a lower standard are produced in Russia, among other places, where the customer completes the apartment according to taste. This degree project has been carried out in collaboration with Bonava AB with the aim of investigating how much can be waived from completing in a newly produced flat before the approved final decision. Furthermore, it has been investigated how the time required and the final cost of the project are affected, as well as the customer's benefits through the introduction of the Naked Flat concept. Eleven respondents were interviewed in the study and calculations were performed on a cost estimate and schedule. With the introduction of Naked Flat, the construction cost was reduced by 7,76 percent and the project time was reduced by 38 days. The lower price is justified by the fact that the apartment is delivered in a simpler design where the customers can complete it themselves according to their own wishes and needs. Naked Flat gives the customer more options about design and the chance to put their own personal touch through color and material choices. Furthermore, the reduced project time means that the customer gets access to the apartment earlier. The completion of the apartments can be regulated in such a way that it relates to sustainable housing through agreements and partners as well as the potentially reduced use of materials.
