Overview
Financial overview
Equity research
Consti’s outlook for 2026 was on the softer side, with the challenging market conditions not showing signs of easing in the short-term. Fortunately, little points to notable weakening. We now expect flat revenue and EBIT growth in 2026, which stretches multiples, but with expectations of market recovery and order backlog driven support in 2027 retain our ACCUMULATE-rating and TP of EUR 12.5.
Consti reported a slight beat in revenue and EBIT but guidance was softer than expected.
Consti reports Q4 results on February 6th, which we expected to be quite in line with previous year figures. Consti recently won a major contract, providing solid potential 2027 onwards, and following the share price rally we adjust our rating to ACCUMULATE (BUY) with a TP of EUR 12.5 (11.5).
Although Consti posted good growth figures in Q3 considering market conditions, margins were lower than anticipated. With slight downward revisions to our short-term expectations, we adjust our TP to EUR 11.5 (12.0) but retain our BUY-rating.
Consti's Q3 results were fairly in line with our expectations Net sales in Q3 amounted to EUR 90.8m, slightly above our estimate (Evli EUR 88.9m.), with growth of 5.6% y/y. EBIT amounted to EUR 3.1m, while we had estimated EBIT of EUR 3.5m. The Service business continued to impact on net sales and profitability.
Consti reports its Q3 results on October 24th. We expect the improved backlog to support continued growth, while expecting recovery in profitability from the slightly weaker H1.
Consti’s net sales surpassed our estimates in Q2, yet profitability was weaker than expected due to continued soft performance in service business. Healthy backlog and further self-help in service should support development going forward.
Consti's net sales in Q2 amounted to EUR 84.8m, surpassing our estimate (Evli est. EUR 80.6m.), with growth of 2.3% y/y. EBIT amounted to EUR 2.5m, while we had estimated EBIT of EUR 2.7m. Order backlog grew and remains healthy, in line with our expectations.
Consti’s Q2/2025 figures are due on Friday, July 18. We expect slight sales decline y/y while mix should retain margins at a satisfactory level despite the intense competition. Market conditions continue to be soft, with recovery progressing slowly.
Profitability fell short of our estimates in the seasonally quiet Q1. While the start was not as strong as we forecasted, healthy order intake supports net sales going forward.

CONSTI PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 27 February 2026, at 09.30 a.m.
CONSTI PLC'S BOARD DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE KEY EMPLOYEE SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN
Consti Plc's Board has decided to continue the key employee share-based incentive plan launched in 2016. The aim of the plan is to align the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in order to increase the value of the Company in the long-term, to engage the key employees to the Company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on earning of the Company's shares.
The plan offers the key employees that belong to the target group of the plan an opportunity to earn the Company’s shares as reward by converting into shares a portion, as decided by the Board, of their performance-based bonuses to be earned on the basis of the Company’s bonus scheme in 2026. The target group of the plan comprises approximately 80 key employees, including members of the Management Team. The participants in the plan may convert in total up to approximately EUR 1.65 million of their earned performance-based bonuses into shares.
The total share reward comprises the amount converted from the performance-based bonus plan and additional shares, which consist of a fixed matching component, under which additional shares are granted with a matching ratio of 0.5, and, for a selected target group, a performance-based component, which is determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return (TSR) during years 2026–2028. As a rule, no additional shares will be paid if a key employee’s employment or service relationship terminates during the vesting period. The rewards to be paid for the plan will amount up to a maximum total of approximately 260,000 Consti Plc shares at the prevailing share price level, including also the cash portion, providing that all of the key employees that belong to the target group of the plan decide to participate and convert the portion, as decided by the Board, of their performance-based bonuses into shares. The final number of shares to be delivered under the plan will depend on the number of participants, the amount of performance-based bonuses earned, the achievement of the performance criterion, and the share price at the time of conversion.
The potential reward from the performance period 2026 will be paid to participants partly in shares and partly in cash after a two-year vesting period in 2029. The cash portion is aimed at covering taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to key employees. Dividends and other potential distribution of assets paid during the vesting period will be compensated to the key employees in connection with the reward payment.

In connection with the directive amending the European Union's sustainability reporting obligations, a legislative amendment has been proposed, as a result of which the sustainability reporting obligations in force on the date of this notice to the General Meeting may no longer apply to the company for the financial year 2026. Therefore, the Board of Directors proposes that the election of the sustainability reporting assurer be made conditionally so that the election will only take effect if the company is obliged under the law in force at the end of the financial year 2026 to prepare a sustainability report for the financial year 2026 and to obtain assurance for it.

CEO Esa Korkeela’s comment
"Despite the challenging market conditions, our business continued to develop steadily. Our net sales increased by 2.9 percent compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 336.2 (326.7) million. Net sales increased in the Housing Companies business area but declined in other business areas. The operating result for the full year was EUR 9.4 (10.2) million, or 2.8 (3.1) percent of net sales. Despite prevailing market conditions and intense competition, we have managed to maintain a reasonable level of profitability in 2025, although it remains below our long-term targets.
In October–December, our net sales increased by 3.0 percent to EUR 95.0 (92.3) million. In the last quarter of the year, our operating result rose to EUR 3.9 (3.6) million, amounting to 4.1 (3.9) percent of net sales. Operationally, the last quarter of the year proceeded as expected, with projects progressing largely as planned. Profitability improved, despite continued negative impacts from the prolonged downturn in construction and lower level of net sales and profitability in our Service business compared to the reference period.
At the end of the review period, our balance sheet and liquidity position were at an excellent level. Our free cash flow improved compared to the previous year, totalling EUR 16.8 (7.2) million. The gearing ratio at the end of the review period was -10.9 (6.1) percent.
During October–December, we continued our active yet disciplined tendering activities. In October–December, we secured new orders totalling EUR 44.3 (67.2) million, of which approximately two thirds were attributed to the Housing Companies business area. However, compared to the reference period, the value of new orders declined by 34.1 percent. The challenging competitive environment and weak demand continued to impact our order intake in the last quarter of the year as well. Although the volume of new orders did not meet our targets, we are satisfied with their quality. Over the course of the year, we received new orders amounting to EUR 250.7 (259.0) million, a 3.2 percent decrease compared to the reference period. Overall, our order backlog contracted by 13.3 percent compared to the reference period, standing at EUR 208.2 (240.1) million.
In the last quarter of the year, we announced that Senate Properties had selected us as the construction service provider for the Government Palace building project. The contract was signed on 29 January 2026. Consti’s share of the project, if both the renovation and extension are realised, is approximately 171 million euros in total. The share relating to the renovation, approximately 112 million euros, will be recognised in Consti’s order backlog in the first quarter of 2026, while the share relating to the extension will be recognised later, once the conditions for its construction have been fulfilled. Construction work is scheduled to begin in August 2026 and to be completed during 2030.
The implementation of our strategy, published in February 2024, is underway. Our initiatives to enhance operational efficiency continued to focus on ensuring the competitiveness and performance of our business. Overall, we have been reasonably successful in compensating for the effects of the prolonged downturn in construction through improved operational effectiveness. We have also achieved our strategic objective of broadening our role within the construction value chain, as evidenced by several successful pipeline renovation projects in our Housing Companies business area delivered under the turnkey model, as well as numerous collaborative projects currently in the development phase. These projects, which particularly require the contractor’s capabilities in project development and design management, are expected to support net sales in 2026 once they commence.
The market environment remained challenging in 2025. Although the overall construction market is estimated to have grown by 3.0 percent year-on-year, the renovation market is estimated to have continued to contract. In the fourth quarter, the willingness of housing companies and the public sector to undertake renovation investments remained at a reasonable level in our operating areas. Demand for new construction remained subdued, and private real estate investment companies continued to be cautious about launching new renovation projects throughout the year. Competition in the construction and building technology markets remained intense.
The grounds for a turnaround in construction exist with the slowdown in inflation, the stabilisation of interest rates, and the rise in purchasing power, but the uncertainty in the operating environment weighs on the outlook. We do not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction over the first half of 2026.
Nevertheless, we aim to continue delivering solid results and remain focused on implementing our strategy. I would like to extend my thanks to all our clients and partners for their excellent cooperation, as well as to every member of the Consti team for their dedicated and determined efforts throughout 2025.”
Operating environment
According to the Bank of Finland, the Finnish economy is expected to be moving from a prolonged period of slow growth towards a cautious recovery. However, growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025 is forecast to remain modest. The Bank of Finland estimates that GDP grew by 0.2 percent in 2025, while growth of 0.8 percent is expected in 2026.
The deceleration of inflation and the decline in interest rates are gradually supporting the recovery of consumers’ purchasing power and companies’ willingness to invest. Nevertheless, the Bank of Finland estimates that the outlook for the Finnish economy continues to be overshadowed by uncertainties related to international politics and global trade, as well as by the public sector deficit. Weak employment situation and economic uncertainty have decreased private consumption. As real earnings of employees increase and labour market recovers, consumption is expected to pick up in the coming years. The Bank of Finland estimates that non-residential investments declined slightly in 2025 but expects investments to return to growth in 2026.
With the gradual economic recovery, the overall construction market is also expected to begin recovering. However, the return to a growth trajectory has been slower than anticipated. According to the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT, construction output is estimated to have increased by approximately 0.8 percent in 2025 compared to the previous year, while the market research institute Euroconstruct estimates growth of 3.0 percent. In 2026, construction is expected to turn towards growth from a low baseline. Construction growth is supported in particular by investments related to the energy transition and data centres. Industrial construction is forecast to increase, due to factors such as government-backed green investments. Investments linked to the defence sector are also driving growth in the construction market. For 2026, RT forecasts growth of 3.5 percent in construction, while Euroconstruct expects growth of 4.8 percent.
Growth in new construction has been driven by industrial construction, schools and commercial premises. Industrial construction has been boosted, in particular, by investments in the battery and energy industries. Euroconstruct estimates that non-residential construction increased by 11.1 percent in 2025 and will grow 10.7 percent in 2026. RT estimates that non-residential construction declined by 2.0 percent in 2025 and will increase by 3.0 percent in 2026.
The market for new residential construction has suffered from a pronounced downturn over several years. Following an exceptionally high level of residential development, housing construction contracted sharply in 2023–2024, declining by approximately 30 percent per year. In 2025, the number of housing starts remained below the long-term average. According to Euroconstruct, a recovery in residential construction would require an improvement in the housing market, along with increased investor demand and stronger consumer confidence. Residential construction volumes increased by 1.0 percent in 2025 according to RT and by 2.1 percent according to Euroconstruct. For 2026, RT forecasts growth of 12 percent and Euroconstruct 15.7 percent from low baselines.
Both the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT and Euroconstruct estimate that renovation construction declined by 0.5 percent in 2025. If the estimates are realised, this would mark the third consecutive year of contraction in the renovation market.
Low levels of new housing starts and the contraction of the renovation market have sustained the intense competition for both renovation projects and building technology contracts.
Euroconstruct estimates that residential renovation returned to modest growth already in 2025. However, renovation projects undertaken by housing companies have been slowed by limited access to financing. Professional renovation is estimated to account for over half of residential renovation, and its proportion has been increasing.
Non-residential renovation, particularly in privately owned commercial premises, remained low. Although there is a clear need for renovations and modifications, many projects have been postponed for as much as several years. Contributing factors include rising costs, oversupply of premises, and the low volume of property transactions and related development projects. In particular, there is an increasing need for building purpose modifications due to changes in working methods and the retail sector. Many older premises also no longer meet modern requirements for user comfort.
Public sector renovation investments are expected to remain at a good level. In 2025, renovations of public facilities were particularly concentrated in the education and healthcare sectors. However, the weak financial position of municipalities and wellbeing services counties may constrain renovation activity in the coming years.
The ageing building stock, urbanisation, changes in space utilisation, and the growing importance of sustainability and the green transition are generating demand and providing a foundation for Consti’s long-term growth.
In renovation construction, demand is largely needs-driven. The need for renovation is increasing not only due to the age of buildings and repairs required as a result of climate change, but also due to societal changes such as population ageing, new requirements for space utilisation, and higher expectations regarding user comfort. Through building purpose modification projects, former office and industrial premises can, for example, be transformed into hotels or residential buildings with accessibility taken into account. In the commercial property market in particular, the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, which entered into force in 2024, and the environmental certification requirements imposed on properties are increasingly evident. Renovation construction plays a key role in reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment, as the volume of new construction increases by only around one percent annually.
Urbanisation and the concentration of immigration in major cities mean that both new construction and renovation activity are increasingly focused on growth centres.
Outlook for 2026
Market outlook
According to forecasts, the renovation market is estimated to return to moderate growth or stay unchanged. Euroconstruct estimates 0.0 percent change and RT estimates 0.5 percent growth in renovation in 2026.
Euroconstruct estimates residential renovation to grow by 0.8 percent and non-residential renovation to decline by 1.3 percent in 2026.
Euroconstruct estimates building construction to grow by 5.7 percent in 2026. New residential construction is estimated to grow by 15.7 percent and non-residential construction to grow by 10.7 percent.
Competition in construction and building technology market remains intense. The grounds for a turnaround in construction exist with the slowdown in inflation, the stabilisation of interest rates, and the rise in purchasing power, but the uncertainty in the operating environment weighs on the outlook, and Consti does not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction over the first half of 2026.
Business outlook
Consti estimates its operating result for 2026 to be in the range of EUR 8–11 million.

CONSTI PLC INVESTOR NEWS 29 JANUARY 2026, at 10:45 a.m.
Consti and Senate Properties have signed a key project alliance agreement for the the Government Palace city block construction project
Consti Korjausrakentaminen Oy, a subsidiary of Consti Plc (“Consti”), and Senate Properties have signed an agreement for the renovation and extension of the Government Palace. The total estimated cost of the project, to be carried out using the key project alliance model, is approximately EUR 195 million.
The agreement covers the entire renovation and extension of the Government Palace block. The implementation of the new building, considered an extension, is contingent on the outcome of the local detailed planning and construction permit processes, as well as decisions by Senate Properties. Should the conditions for constructing the extension not be met, the extension will be removed from the scope of the project and the key project alliance agreement.
Consti’s share of the project, if both the renovation and extension are realised, is approximately 171 million euros in total. The share relating to the renovation, approximately 112 million euros, will be recognised in Consti’s order backlog in the first quarter of 2026, while the share relating to the extension will be recognised later, once the conditions for its construction have been fulfilled. The development phase of the project will commence immediately and continue until summer 2026. Construction work is scheduled to begin in August 2026 and to be completed during 2030.
Located on the eastern side of the Senate Square in Helsinki, the Government Palace, designed by Carl Ludvig Engel, is one of Finland’s most important cultural and historical monuments. The renovation will modernise the building’s technical systems and improve both energy efficiency and accessibility. The office spaces in the Palace will be modernised to meet today’s requirements in accordance with the Government’s office space concept. The work will be carried out with respect for, and with the preservation of the building’s historical values.
The renovation of the Government Palace is part of a broader government office premises redevelopment project, the Block Project, through which the government’s functions and the ministries’ office spaces will in future be mainly concentrated in the Government Palace block and the adjacent Government block in its immediate vicinity.
The aim is a solution that ensures the long-term use of the buildings as government office premises. Planning and construction will take into account the cultural and architectural values of the blocks. The space solutions will be flexible, allowing them to adapt to the changing needs of the government in the future.
“It is a great privilege to be able to carry out the Government Palace construction project in collaboration with Senate Properties, using the alliance model. The project supports our strategic aim to strengthen our position in cooperative and socially responsible construction.” says Jukka Kylliö, Director of Public Sector Business Area, Consti.

CEO Esa Korkeela’s comment
"Our net sales in the third quarter increased by 5.6 percent to EUR 90.8 (86.0) million. Net sales grew strongly in our Housing Companies business area and grew in our Corporations business area but decreased in our Public Sector and Building Technology business areas.
Our operating result for July–September was EUR 3.1 (3.4) million, or 3.5 (3.9) percent of net sales. In the third quarter, projects progressed largely as planned, and our profitability from project business was in line with our expectations. Our profitability in the third quarter was negatively impacted by the prolonged downturn in construction, allocation of resources to tendering and negotiation activities to secure our order backlog, and the continued low level of net sales and profitability in our Service business.
Our balance sheet and liquidity position at the end of the review period were at a good level. Our free cash flow improved compared to the previous year and amounted to EUR 3.4 (1.7) million. Our gearing ratio at the end of the review period was low at 3.8 (7.2) percent.
In July–September, we continued our active yet disciplined tendering activities. We received new orders worth EUR 41.2 (64.8) million during July–September, a decrease of 36.4 percent compared to the reference period. In January–September, new orders totalled EUR 206.4 (191.9) million, an increase of 7.6 percent year-on-year. The tight competitive environment and weak demand continued to affect our order intake in the third quarter as well, but we are satisfied with the overall volume and quality of new orders received during January–September. At the end of the review period, our order backlog declined by 4.2 percent compared to the reference period but remained at a good level of EUR 239.9 (250.4) million.
Our initiatives to enhance operational efficiency continued to focus on ensuring the competitiveness and performance of our business. Overall, we have been reasonably successful in compensating for the effects of the prolonged downturn in the construction sector through improved operational efficiency.
In the third quarter, housing companies and the public sector’s readiness to invest in renovations across our operating areas remained at a reasonable level. The demand for new construction remained weak, and private real estate investment companies continued to be cautious about starting new renovation projects. Competition in the construction and building technology market remained tight. The grounds for a turnaround in construction exist with the slowdown in inflation, the stabilisation of interest rates, and the rise in purchasing power, but the uncertainty in the operating environment weighs on the outlook, and we do not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction over the next six months.
However, we believe that the prevailing market situation favours a versatile construction and building technology expert like Consti, which has a strong financial position and the ability to deliver a wide range of projects from small service contracts to large construction projects. Supported by our good order backlog, we aim to continue solid performance and focus on implementing our current strategy.”
Operating environment
Construction market 2025–2026
In its business cycle review released in September 2025, the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT estimates that the construction market will grow by 0.8 percent in 2025 compared to the previous year. The volume of renovation is expected to decrease by 0.5 percent in 2025, while new housing construction is expected to increase by 1.0 percent. RT estimates that in 2026, the total volume of construction will increase by 3.5 percent, renovation will grow by 0.5 percent, and new residential construction will grow by 12.0 percent.
The renovation market in general
Renovation is needs-based and thus less sensitive to economic cycles than new construction. However, the steady growth in renovation activity seen over the past 20 years came to an end in 2023, and the decline has continued through 2024 and 2025. Tightened financing conditions for housing companies are slowing down residential renovations, while the weak property market and uncertainty regarding space utilisation are holding back the renovation of commercial premises. Public sector renovation investments are, however, expected to remain at a good level.
According to the September 2025 forecast by the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT, the Finnish construction market is expected to grow only slightly in 2025, starting from a low base. The sharp decline in housing construction is primarily due to the slump in new residential production following an exceptionally strong period of housing construction. New housing construction fell by over 30 percent year-on-year in both 2023 and 2024. The growth forecast for 2025 is 1 percent. In other building construction, the market has also declined, though not as sharply as in new housing construction.
The sharp decline in new construction has meant that more money is currently being spent on residential renovations than on new builds. At the same time, competition for both renovation projects and building technology contracts has intensified noticeably. In 2024, the value of residential renovation construction was just over 9 billion euros, while other renovation construction was worth just under 7 billion euros.
Nearly two-thirds of renovation work is focused on residential buildings, and more than half of this is estimated to be professional renovation. In residential renovations, building technology plays a key role, accounting for about 35 percent of the value of renovations.
In non-residential buildings, in addition to technical age-related repairs, renovations include a great deal of building purpose modifications, such as converting old, underutilized office buildings into hotels or apartments, or improving them to better meet current office needs.
About one-fifth of all renovation is maintenance and upkeep, with a higher-than-average share in non-residential buildings.
According to the Finnish Real Estate Federation’s Renovation Barometer, water and sewer systems remain the top renovation priority for apartment buildings. The next most common renovations are roof and facade repairs, as well as heating system modernisations. The rising cost of district heating in many cities is a key factor driving heating system upgrades.
Renovation activity has also been held back by an oversupply of commercial premises and falling property prices. As the economic situation improves, the oversupply is expected to encourage property owners to improve the competitiveness and rentability of their spaces.
The demand for renovation is supported by the large number of residential buildings that are reaching the age for pipeline renovations. Properties built in the 1970s, which have the largest amount of residential floor space, are now in need of renovation. Additionally, many properties from the 1980s, a significant portion of which are row houses, are also reaching renovation age, with 1980s apartments representing the largest share in terms of quantity.
In addition to building technology renovations, many housing companies have an increasing need for facade repairs, which have often been overshadowed by pipeline renovations for financial reasons. The importance of facade repairs and maintenance continues to grow as winters become increasingly wet. Alongside technical repair needs, expectations for living comfort have risen. The repair needs of commercial spaces are also driven by changing space requirements.
The EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive, which came into force in May 2024, is driving the need for energy renovations. The directive aims to reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of buildings. In commercial properties, the demand for energy renovations is also influenced by user requirements – including both financial considerations and environmental certification standards. The need for energy renovations applies to both residential housing companies and various commercial spaces.
Overall, the need for renovation is maintained by both the aging building stock and societal changes such as urbanisation, population aging, changes in working methods and retail, and sustainability goals. Renovation plays a central role in reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment, as the number of new buildings grows by only about one percent per year.
Both new construction and renovations are strongly concentrated in growth centres in Finland.
Outlook for the 2025
Market outlook (updated)
According to the Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT, the Finnish construction market is expected to grow by 0.8 percent in 2025 compared with the previous year. New residential construction is expected to increase by 1.0 percent, non-residential construction to decline by 2.0 percent, and renovation construction to decrease by 0.5 percent in 2025.
The demand for new construction remained weak, and private real estate investment companies continued to be cautious about starting new renovation projects. Competition in the construction and building technology market remained tight. The grounds for a turnaround in construction exist with the slowdown in inflation, the stabilisation of interest rates, and the rise in purchasing power, but the uncertainty in the operating environment weighs on the outlook, and Consti does not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction over the next six months.

CEO Esa Korkeela’s comment
“Our net sales for the second quarter increased by 2.3 percent, totalling EUR 84.8 (82.9) million. Our net sales grew strongly in the Housing Companies business area, while net sales in our other business areas declined compared to the reference period. Our operating profit for April to June was EUR 2.5 (3.0) million, equivalent to 2.9 (3.6) percent of net sales.
During the second quarter, projects progressed largely as planned, and the profitability of our project business was in line with our expectations. However, our operating profit was negatively impacted by the continued low net sales and profitability levels in our Service business, which we were not yet able to improve to a satisfactory level during the second quarter. Additionally, our profitability in the second quarter was affected by the prolonged downturn in the construction sector, as well as the investments made in tendering and negotiation activities to secure our order backlog. Our balance sheet and liquidity position remained at a good level at the end of the review period.
In April-June, we received new orders worth EUR 105.1 (90.8) million, representing a 15.8 percent increase compared to the reference period, and are satisfied with both the total volume and quality of the orders received despite intense competition. Among the most significant orders in our construction business areas during the second quarter was the renovation and extension of Maunula Primary School and Månsas Primary School, commissioned by the City of Helsinki, as well as the renovation of Kivimäki School in Vantaa, and in the Building Technology business area, the first phase of ventilation and electrical works for the Metso Lokomotion Technology Centre in Tampere. The combined value of these contracts is approximately EUR 47 million. The remaining order intake for April-June consists of several smaller projects evenly distributed across our business areas. Our order backlog at the end of the review period was at a good level, growing by 5.9 percent compared to the reference period, amounting to EUR 276.7 (261.2) million.
Throughout the review period, we continued to implement our strategy and take measures to safeguard our business performance amid the prolonged construction downturn. Our actions focused on tendering activities, improving production efficiency, and achieving an even more consistent performance level in our project deliveries.
In the first half of the year, housing companies and the public sector demonstrated a reasonable readiness to invest in renovations across our operating areas. The demand for new construction remained weak, and private real estate investment companies continued to be cautious about starting new renovation projects. Competition in the construction and building technology market remained tight. We do not expect a significant improvement in construction demand prospects during the second half of 2025.
However, we believe that the prevailing market situation favours a versatile construction and building technology expert like Consti, which has a strong financial position and the ability to deliver a wide range of projects from small service contracts to large construction projects. Supported by our good order backlog, we aim to continue solid performance and focus on implementing our current strategy.”
Operating environment
Construction market 2025–2026
Construction market research institute Euroconstruct estimated in its June 2025 report that the volume for housebuilding construction output will grow by 3.4% in 2025. According to Euroconstruct's forecast, the new construction volume is estimated to grow by around 7.8 percent and the renovation volume to decline by 0.2 percent in 2025.
Euroconstruct’s forecasts were lowered compared to its previous report. In its December 2024 report Euroconstruct estimated that the volume for housebuilding construction output in Finland will grow by 5.3%, the new construction volume by 11.2 percent and the renovation volume by 0.3 percent in 2025. Recovery of the market is slower than expected.
For the year 2026, Euroconstruct predicts that the change in renovation volume will be flat at 0.0 percent (previous forecast was 0.7 percent in December 2024).
According to the report recovery in renovation is slow as both housing companies and consumers are still facing tight economic conditions.
The renovation market in general
Renovation is needs-based and thus less sensitive to economic cycles than new construction. However, the steady growth of renovation over the past 20 years came to a halt in 2023, and the decline continued in 2024. Renovation has been reduced partly by the same reasons as new construction, such as rising interest rates, inflation, and repair costs, as well as increased maintenance costs for properties, such as the rising cost of heating.
In 2024, building construction continued to decline, but the decrease levelled off from the previous year. The sharp decline in building construction is primarily due to the halt in new housing production after an exceptionally intense period of housing construction. Residential new construction decreased by approximately 30 percent for the second consecutive year. In other building construction, the changes have been far less significant.
The sharp drop in new construction has meant that more money is currently being spent on renovating existing homes than on building new ones. At the same time, competition for renovation projects and building technology contracts has intensified significantly. In 2024, the value of residential building renovations remained almost on level with 2023, i.e. around nine billion euros. The value of other renovations was about six billion euros.
Nearly two-thirds of renovation work is focused on residential buildings, and more than half of this is estimated to be professional renovation. In residential renovations, building technology plays a key role, accounting for about 35 percent of the value of renovations.
In non-residential buildings, in addition to technical age-related repairs, renovations include a great deal of building purpose modifications, such as converting old, underutilized office buildings into hotels or apartments, or improving them to better meet current needs.
About one-fifth of all renovation is maintenance and upkeep, with a higher-than-average share in non-residential buildings.
According to the Finnish Real Estate Federation's Renovation Barometer, water and sewer systems remain the top renovation priority for apartment buildings. The next most common renovations are roof and facade repairs, as well as heating system modernisations. The rising cost of district heating in many cities is a key factor driving heating system upgrades.
Renovations of commercial and office spaces have also been postponed due to the rapid rise in costs. In addition, the oversupply of commercial spaces and the decline in property prices have slowed down repairs. As the economic situation improves, the oversupply is expected to encourage property owners to improve the competitiveness and rentability of their spaces.
The demand for renovation is supported by the large number of residential buildings that are reaching the age for pipeline renovations. Properties built in the 1970s, which have the largest amount of residential floor space, are now in need of renovation. Additionally, many properties from the 1980s, a significant portion of which are row houses, are also reaching renovation age, with 1980s apartments representing the largest share in terms of quantity.
In addition to building technology renovations, many housing companies have an increasing need for facade repairs, which have often been overshadowed by pipeline renovations for financial reasons. The importance of facade repairs and maintenance continues to grow as winters become increasingly wet. Alongside technical repair needs, expectations for living comfort have risen. The repair needs of commercial spaces are also driven by changing space requirements.
The EU's Energy Efficiency Directive, which came into force in May 2024, is driving the need for energy renovations. The directive aims to reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of buildings. In commercial properties, the demand for energy renovations is also influenced by user requirements – including both financial considerations and environmental certification standards. The need for energy renovations applies to both residential housing companies and various commercial spaces.
Overall, the need for renovation is maintained by both the aging building stock and societal changes such as urbanisation, population aging, changes in working methods and retail, and sustainability goals. Renovation plays a central role in reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment, as the number of new buildings grows by only about one percent per year.
Both new construction and renovations are strongly concentrated in growth centres in Finland.
Outlook for 2025
In 2025, the housebuilding construction output in Finland is estimated to increase by approximately 3.4 percent from the previous year. New construction is predicted to grow by approximately 7.8 percent and renovation to decline by 0.2 percent in 2025.
The weak demand for new construction and private real estate investment companies’ caution in launching new construction projects has continued. Competition in the construction and building technology market has remained intense. The demand outlook for construction is weakened by prolonged economic uncertainty, interest rates, high construction costs, and tightening availability of financing, and Consti does not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction in the second half of 2025.
Despite the market situation, Consti aims to continue solid performance supported by a good order backlog and focus on implementing the strategy.
Consti estimates that its operating result for 2025 will be in the range of EUR 9–12 million.

CEO Esa Korkeela’s comment
”Our seasonally low net sales for January-March were at the same level as last year, totalling EUR 65.6 (65.5) million. Our net sales grew in the Housing Companies and Building Technology business areas and decreased in the Corporations and Public Sector business areas.
Our operating result for January-March was EUR -0.1 (0.2) million, or -0.2 (0.3) percent of net sales. During the first quarter, projects progressed mostly as planned, and the profitability of our project business was broadly in line with our expectations. Our operating result was negatively impacted by lower-than-expected net sales and profitability in our Service business. Our balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong at the end of the review period.
Our order intake for January-March totalled EUR 60.1 (36.3) million, representing a 65.5 percent increase compared to the reference period. The order intake was positively influenced by new orders in the Housing Companies and Corporations business areas. Our first-quarter order intake did not include any individually large projects but consisted of several smaller-scale projects. Our order backlog remained at a good level at the end of the review period, growing by 0.8 percent compared to the reference period and amounting to EUR 246.4 (244.4) million.
During the review period, we published Consti's first sustainability report in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the implementation of the goals and plans described in the report is underway. In line with our transition plan, our objective is to achieve carbon neutrality in our operations by 2035 and to halve the emissions generated across our value chain by 2050. Our initiatives to improve operational efficiency have focused on safeguarding the competitiveness and performance of our business amid the prolonged downturn in the construction sector.
In the first quarter, the readiness for renovation investments in housing companies and the public sector continued at a reasonable level in our operating areas. Demand for new construction has remained weak, and private real estate investment companies have continued to show caution in launching new construction projects. Competition in the construction and building technology market remained tight. We do not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction in the first half of 2025.
However, we believe that the prevailing market situation favours a versatile construction and building technology expert like Consti, which has a strong financial position and the ability to deliver diverse projects from small service contracts to large construction projects. Supported by our good order backlog, we aim to continue solid performance and focus on implementing our current strategy.”
Operating environment
Construction market 2025
The Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries CFCI estimates in its April economic review that the construction market as a whole will grow by approximately 4 percent in 2025. According to RT's forecast, the renovation market is expected to grow by about one percent in 2025, and new housing construction is expected to grow by 10 percent.
In its April economic review, RT states that despite pent-up demand and increasing renovation debt, annual growth in renovation activity will remain slow as availability of financing increasingly hinders recovery.

The demand outlook for construction is weakened by prolonged economic uncertainty, interest rates, high construction costs, and tightening availability of financing, and Consti does not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction in the first half of 2025.
Despite the market situation, Consti aims to continue solid performance supported by a good order backlog and focus on implementing the updated strategy.
Consti estimates that its operating result for 2025 will be in the range of EUR 9-12 million.
