Bygg og Bevar is a platform that focuses on the preservation of older buildings and building conservation. The site offers a variety of resources, including tips, craftspeople and products relevant to historic house restoration. The program is a collaboration between the Ministry of Climate and the Environment and the National Association of the Building Industry, and aims to contribute to older buildings being managed and developed in a sustainable way.
In addition to information resources, Bygg og Bevar arranges courses and gatherings for both homeowners and craftsmen. Emphasis is placed on reuse and environmentally friendly material choices in restoration projects. The Build and Preserve award honors skilled craft businesses that excel in building conservation, and information evenings are also offered on support schemes for listed buildings. Through these activities, Bygg og Bevar contributes to reducing the loss of cultural heritage and strengthening the framework conditions for private owners.
