In many ways, Konsmo is the village that built itself on the forest. The cornerstone company Konsmohus builds for the future and has made many a dream home come true. Konsmo fabrikker started back in 1978 and makes houses and cabins, as well as modules for schools, kindergartens, office buildings and apartment blocks, among others. With production in its own factory buildings and quality at every stage as a stated goal, the company has delivered building projects both in Norway and abroad. Konsmohus combines traditional craftsmanship with modern building systems and efficient modular production. The company is also an approved apprenticeship company, helping to train the skilled workers who will carry the Norwegian building industry forward in the years to come.
And there are more companies in Konsmo creating jobs from wood. One example is the woodworking company Løkkan tre, which supplies solid wood flooring, mouldings, panelling and other wood products to customers all over the country.
Nord Audnedal Bruk AS is a sawmill that turns raw logs into quality products of many kinds. Here the long craft traditions of the area really come into their own, and customers get tailor-made cladding, heartwood and other products.
Konsmo also has the local building and carpentry firm H K S Bygg AS, which takes on jobs from the Lister region to Kristiansand. But its base is in Konsmo. Here too, apprentices get the chance to become skilled tradespeople.
In other words, Konsmo may be the perfect place for you if you love forests, timber and crafts with long traditions.
