The family-owned company behind Swedish public health starts building with AI

Spentab, the family-owned contractor behind football pitches, schoolyards and sports grounds across Sweden, starts building with Brickanta to find risks and opportunities earlier in its projects.

For almost forty years, Spentab has been laying the foundation for Swedish public health. The company is run today by the second generation Otterström and specialises in groundworks and sports surfaces. Its clients range from municipalities and sports clubs to construction companies such as Peab, NCC and Skanska. Now the company takes the next step and starts building with Brickanta, the agentic AI for society builders.

"In the nineties we were among the first to mix fine rubber into artificial turf. Today we are among the first to use AI in our projects. It is the same drive: building better facilities, with quality, function and safety at the core."

Stefan Otterström
CEO, Spentab

The platform reads project documents, compares them against construction practice and previous projects, and surfaces risks and opportunities that would otherwise take days of manual work to find. For Spentab, that means faster and safer decisions in the early stages, and ultimately more facilities built with the same team.

If we find the risks earlier, we can build more with the same resources. In the end, it is about more places where kids can run, play and move.

Construction is one of Sweden's largest industries and at the same time one of its least digitalised. More and more Swedish construction companies are now choosing to build with AI in the early stages of the construction process.
