Home / Customer Cases / Devoco: A Holistic Approach to Construction Grounded in Climate Data
New expectations are challenging long-standing methods in construction. Legislators, customers, investors, and society at large are rapidly increasing their demands for sustainability, climate reporting, and material choices. At the same time, projects must be delivered with high quality, under tight deadlines, and with clear cost control.
In this new reality, construction stakeholders need to make quick yet wellinformed decisions. It’s no longer enough to simply make the right choice; you also need to demonstrate why it’s the right one, supported by data.
Devoco is shaping a more progressive approach to Swedish construction. With strong technical expertise and a commitment to sustainability, responsiveness, and long-term collaboration, the company brings strength across design, production, and business development. ts projects are built to deliver lasting value, are technically sound, economically efficient, and environmentally responsible.
Devoco approaches each project with the intent to raise industry standards, working with a holistic approach. For them, every successful project begins with a focused dialogue, where the client’s vision and needs guide planning and decisionmaking. That dialogue lays the foundation for smarter decisions and real value creation.
We interviewed Mikael Svensson, Head of Business at Devoco, to learn how Devoco works with sustainability, how they use Prodikt in their projects, and why the future demands both data-driven tools and attentive people.

From early design to execution, Devoco integrates sustainability into every stage of the process. Every decision, from volume studies to on-site choices, is guided by a strong sense of environmental responsibility. “Sustainability over time is something we live and breathe,” says Mikael. He continues, “Being able to steer our projects in everything from carbon requirements and environmental certifications to energy efficiency and social responsibility is something today’s projects increasingly demand. Every aspect of our projects should be optimized to exceed the client’s expectations.”
Devoco views legal requirements, such as climate declarations, as a positive force to help the industry make better decisions and set a clearer direction. Mikael comments, “We see sustainability as a hygiene factor, not a competitive advantage. Everyone has to contribute, but those who act early will be better prepared.”
With curiosity, expertise, and a genuine desire to understand the client’s real needs, Devoco shapes projects that meet the demands of the future right from the very first line on the drawing board.
“We believe in making our clients’ success our shared success. When they win, we win together.”
Devoco was introduced to Prodikt through a returning client and quickly saw the value of the project platform. Today, Prodikt is integral to all their projects, from the first bid to the final climate declaration. The platform is used to manage climate targets, compare construction systems, and make sustainable choices based on both environmental impact and technical performance within their own organization.
“We use Prodikt throughout the entire process from volume studies to design, production, and completion,” says Mikael.
“Working with Prodikt internally is a major advantage; it makes us both faster and more precise.”
Having access to clear product data and climate impact early in the process gives Devoco a concrete basis for decisionmaking, both internally and in dialogue with clients. During the tender phase, Prodikt has become an important tool that helps strengthen the company’s offering and win contracts. “Working with Prodikt internally is a major advantage; it makes us both faster and more precise.”
The platform also influences supplier selection. Products registered in Prodikt
carry more weight in the procurement
process, which drives the entire value chain toward greater transparency and more sustainable decisions. Among the features, Mikael especially highlights the ability to compare products directly within the platform, a function that provides concrete support for balancing cost against climate impact, and for meeting clients’ growing demand for clear and traceable climate data.
“Several clients have pecifically requested the documentation we can extract from Prodikt.”
“Prodikt has helped us save time, make better decisions, and communicate more clearly. It’s a tool that makes a difference throughout the entire process.”

For Devoco, Prodikt is more than just an analysis tool; it has become a business advantage. By being able to present detailed climate calculations, comparisons, and traceable EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations), they have improved communication with clients, won more contracts, and made sustainability an integrated part of their business.
“Our clients appreciate the detailed climate data we can deliver it strengthens our offering.”
Prodikt enables Devoco to make highly precise data-driven decisions about materials and construction systems. The platform is actively used in client meetings and tenders, strengthening credibility in dialogue with both public and private clients.
“With the help of Prodikt, we demonstrate transparency in our choices and build trust with our clients.”
Working with real EPDs across all building components leads to better decisions and creates a shared factual foundation between Devoco and its clients. This enables them to reach climate goals together. Moreover, Prodikt serves as a practical tool for the company’s employees. Project managers and construction engineers can now access standardized and quality-assured sustainability data, making sustainability work a concrete, day-to-day part of every project.
“Just as we work holistically at Devoco with clients, suppliers, and designers, we see great value in a long-term collaboration with Prodikt. By combining their technical expertise with our hands-on experience, we can continue to develop a tool that truly meets the construction industry's need for efficient and reliable climate calculations. One that helps us achieve our shared project goals.
We therefore also encourage our peers in the industry to join Prodikt. Together, we can build a shared platform that enables sustainable projects, not just to meet certification requirements and legislation, but to take responsibility for future generations and reduce climate impact in a meaningful way,” concludes Mikael Svensson, Head of Business at Devoco.
