About the Building Client and the User. Statsbygg is Norway's largest civil property manager, with 650 employees. It is the state's main consultant on building and property issues, development and management. Statsbygg is a management company under the Ministry of Renewal and Administration, but provides services and support to all ministries and state organs.
In 1998 the National Assembly decides that Statsbygg would be the building client for the new operahouse, responsible for planning and management.
