Overview
Financial overview
Equity research
Consti’s Q3/24 figures were in line with our estimates. The company keeps delivering steady results in a tough market. Despite some volume growth expected for Finnish renovation market in 2025E, the market remains challenging in the short-term.
Consti's net sales in Q3 amounted to EUR 86.0m, slightly above our estimates (Evli est. EUR 85.1m.), with decline of 4.3% y/y. EBIT amounted to EUR 3.4m, in line with our estimates.
Consti reports its Q3/24 results on Friday 25th of October. Consti’s Q3 last year was strong partly due to non-recurring gain on business sale. Despite the tougher comparison period, we expect a solid quarter.
Consti’s Q2 results beat our estimates for both net sales and EBIT. The company showed resilience in a tough market as the Building Technology and Public Sector business areas delivered even stronger growth than expected. Despite positive results for Q2, the market continues to be challenging for the rest of the year.
Consti's net sales in Q2 amounted to EUR 82.9m, above our estimates (Evli est. EUR 75.9m.), with growth of 9.4% y/y. EBIT amounted to EUR 3.0m, also above our estimates (Evli est. EUR 2.5m).
Consti reports its Q2 results on Friday 19th of July. Our main interest on the report lies on the order intake, which has traditionally been the strongest during the second quarter. Market conditions remain challenging while the backlog is still on a healthy level for FY 2024.

CEO Esa Korkeela’s comment
"Consti’s solid performance continued in the third quarter of the year. Our third-quarter net sales decreased by 4.3 percent to EUR 86.0 (89.9) million. The strong growth in the Building Technology business area continued during the quarter, growing by 34.5 percent. In the Public Sector business area, net sales grew by 2.7 percent, while in the Corporations and Housing Companies business areas, net sales decreased compared to the reference period. Our net sales for January-September remained at last year’s level and was EUR 234.4 (234.5) million.
Our operating result for July-September was EUR 3.4 (4.8) million, which is 3.9 (5.3) percent of net sales. Operationally, the third quarter of the year proceeded in line with our expectations, with projects progressing predominantly as planned. Profitability remained stable compared to the reference period adjusted for the gain recorded from the sale of the property-related relining business. Our relative profitability in the third quarter was mainly affected by changes in the relative net sales shares of our business areas in comparison with the reference period, the lower level of net sales, and also partly by allocation of resources in tendering and negotiation activities to secure our order backlog. Our balance sheet and liquidity position at the end of the review period remained at a good level.
During July-September, our order intake amounted to EUR 64.8 (23.2) million, which represents a 178.8 percent increase compared to the weak reference period. Although tightened competition and weakened demand affected our order intake, we are satisfied with the total number and quality of the orders received. The distribution of orders between business areas and units was not optimally realised during the reporting period, and we have targeted adjustment measures at some of our units. Our order backlog at the end of the review period increased by 1.3 percent compared to the reference period and was EUR 250.4 (247.3) million.
The implementation of our strategy, published in February 2024, is underway. During the reporting period, we continued our efforts aiming for the growth of our Building Technology business area. Our operational efficiency improvement initiatives continued to focus on ensuring the performance of our business in the prevailing operating environment, emphasizing, among other things, bidding activities and improving the efficiency of our production.
Based on our current market outlook, we expect demand for renovation and building technology services to remain weak in 2024. According to forecasts, renovation is expected to contract by about 4 percent in 2024. The significant weakening of demand for new construction has clearly increased competition for renovation projects and building technology contracts.
In the third quarter, the readiness for renovation investments in housing companies and the public sector has remained at a reasonable level in our operating areas, but private real estate investment companies have remained cautious about launching new construction projects. However, we believe that the prevailing market conditions favour a versatile construction and building technology expert like Consti, which has a strong financial position and the ability to deliver diverse projects ranging from small service contracts to extensive construction projects.
We do not expect a significant improvement in the demand outlook for construction in the last quarter of the year. However, supported by our healthy order backlog, we aim to continue delivering solid results and focus on implementing our updated strategy.”
Operating environment
Construction market 2024-25
The Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT estimates in its September 2024 review that the total volume of construction will decrease by about 7 percent in 2024 compared to last year. Based on RT’s forecast, the volume of renovation is expected to decrease by about 4 percent and new housing construction by about 26 percent in 2024. Like new construction, renovation has suffered from rapidly rising construction costs and interest rates, as well as tighter availability of financing, especially outside growth centres.
According to RT’s forecast, the total volume of construction is expected to grow by about 4 percent in 2025. Renovation is forecast to grow by 1 percent and new housing construction by about 15 percent in 2025.
The Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT estimates that the decline in renovation will continue into the second half of this year but predicts that the decrease in costs and interest rates will improve the conditions for renovation already during the end of the year. In addition, the demand for renovation may be accelerated by the shift in demand towards old properties instead of new construction.
The renovation market in general
The demand for renovation has been steady in Finland for a long time, and the market value of renovation is almost the same as that of new construction. In 2023, the value of residential building renovation remained on level with the previous year, i.e. around EUR 9 billion. The value of other renovation was still around EUR 6 billion.
Nearly two-thirds of renovation involve residential properties, with over half of them being professional renovation. In residential renovation, there is a notable emphasis on building technology, constituting around 40 percent of the total value of renovation.
The renovation market encompasses not only technical repairs related to building age but also significant building purpose modifications, for example, converting old, underutilised office properties into hotels or apartments, or improving usability by renewing layouts.
Approximately one-fifth of all renovation is maintenance and upkeep, with a higher-than-average share in non-residential properties.
In needs-based renovation, facade repairs and pipeline renovation are the largest projects for residential buildings. The number and value of pipeline renovation have been growing faster than other renovation for a long time, and this growth is expected to continue for a few more years. The growth is sustained by the large number of residential buildings that have reached the age when pipeline renovation are required. For a long time, apartment buildings built in the 1960s had the most building technology renovation. Now, properties built in the 1970s, which have the largest number of dwellings in terms of floor area, and partly properties from the 1980s, which are the most numerous due to e.g., the large number of terraced house construction, have reached renovation age. In addition to addressing technical repair needs, building technology enhancements improve living comfort.
Together with pipeline renovation, the increase in heating costs and the green transition contribute to growth in the building technology market. While energy efficiency has so far been primarily addressed alongside other renovation, the rising cost of energy and carbon neutrality goals have increased interest in separate energy renovation.
Besides building technology renovation, many housing companies have a growing need for facade renovation, which have often been neglected due to financial reasons in favour of pipeline renovation. Climate change significantly increases the demand for facade renovation and related maintenance services. The importance of roofs, eaves, cladding, and intact facades grows as winters become wetter, slanting rainfall increases and extreme weather phenomena intensify. The need for facade renovation is also heightened by the large number of residential buildings from the 1970s and 1980s reaching the renovation age.
In addition to renovation related to building technology and environmental goals, the need for renovation in commercial and office premises is increased by changes in space needs.
The need for renovation is sustained by both the aging building stock and global megatrends such as urbanisation, an aging population, changes in working habits and retail, and sustainability goals. Renovation play a crucial role in reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment, as the number of new buildings increases by only about one percent annually.
In Finland, both new construction and renovation are still strongly concentrated in growth centres.
Outlook for the 2024
The volume of housing construction in Finland is expected to decrease by about 8 percent in 2024 compared to last year. The volume of new construction is forecast to decrease by about 12 percent and the volume of renovation by 4 percent in 2024.
Consti expects demand for renovation and building technology services to weaken in 2024. The significant weakening of demand for new construction has clearly increased competition for renovation projects and building technology contracts. In January-September 2024, the readiness of housing companies and the public sector to invest in renovations has remained at a reasonable level in Consti’s operating areas, but private real estate investment companies have continued to be cautious about starting new construction projects. The demand outlook for construction is weakened by persistently high construction costs and interest rates, as well as tighter availability of financing, and Consti does not expect a significant improvement in the last quarter of the year.
Despite the market situation, Consti aims to continue solid performance supported by a healthy order backlog during the rest of the year 2024.
Consti estimates that its operating result for 2024 will be in the range of EUR 9-12 million.

CEO Esa Korkeela’s comment
“Consti's solid performance continued in the second quarter. Our second-quarter net sales increased by 9.4 percent and were EUR 82.9 (75.7) million. Our net sales grew strongly in the Public Sector and Building Technology business areas but contracted in the Housing Companies business area. Net sales for our Corporations business area remained almost at the same level with the previous year.
Our operating result for April–June was EUR 3.0 (3.0) million, representing 3.6 (4.0) percent of net sales. Operationally, the second quarter of the year proceeded in line with our expectations, with projects progressing predominantly as planned. Profitability remained stable compared to the corresponding period. Our relative profitability in the second quarter was mainly affected by changes in the relative net sales shares of business areas in comparison with the reference period, and also partly by allocation of resources in tendering and negotiation activities to secure our order backlog. Our balance sheet and liquidity position at the end of the review period remained at a good level.
During April-June, our order intake amounted to EUR 90.8 (106.5) million, which means a decrease of 14.8 percent relative to the strong benchmark period. In April-June, we continued our active but disciplined tendering activities. Although the tightened competition and weakened demand affected our order intake, we are satisfied with the total amount and quality of orders received. The distribution of orders between business areas and units was not optimally realised during the review period. The majority of our order intake in the second quarter consists of several smaller projects. Our order backlog at the end of the review period decreased by 12.3 percent year-on-year and was EUR 261.2 (297.9) million.
We published our updated strategy in February 2024. The implementation of our updated strategy is now underway, and our work to deploy the strategy is progressing by business area according to our plans. During the review period, we continued our long-term investments in the growth of our Building Technology business area and achieved growth of 58.7 percent compared to the corresponding period. Our operational efficiency improvement initiatives focused on ensuring the performance of our business in the prevailing operating environment, with an emphasis on, among other things, tendering and improving the efficiency of our production, as well as achieving a more consistent performance level of our project deliveries.
Based on our current market outlook, we expect demand for renovation and building technology services to weaken in 2024. According to forecasts, renovation is expected to contract by about 0.4 percent in 2024. The strong weakening of demand for new construction has clearly increased competition for renovation projects and building technology contracts.
In the first half of 2024, the readiness of housing companies and the public sector for renovation investments has remained at a reasonable level in our operating areas, but private real estate investment companies have been cautious about launching new construction projects. However, we believe that the prevailing market conditions favour a versatile construction and building technology expert like Consti, which has a strong financial position and the ability to deliver diverse projects ranging from small service contracts to extensive construction projects.
The demand outlook for construction is weakened by persistently high construction costs, rapidly increased interest rates and tighter availability of financing, and we do not anticipate significant improvement during the third quarter of the year. Supported by a healthy order backlog, we aim to continue delivering solid results and focus on implementing our updated strategy.”
Operating environment
Construction market 2024–2025
Construction market research institute Euroconstruct estimated in its June 2024 report that the volume for Building construction output will decline by 6.4% in 2024. According to Euroconstruct's forecast, the new construction volume is estimated to decline by around 12.5 percent and the renovation volume by 0.4 percent in 2024.
For the year 2025, Euroconstruct predicts that renovation volumes will increase by 0.5 percent. The report estimates that there is potential for even higher growth due to the needs-based nature of renovation, as factors that slow down demand ease.
The renovation market in general
The demand for renovation has been steady in Finland for a long time, and the market value of renovation is almost the same as that of new construction. In 2023, the value of residential building renovation remained on level with the previous year, i.e. around EUR 9 billion. The value of other renovation was still around EUR 6 billion.
Nearly two-thirds of renovation involve residential properties, with over half of them being professional renovation. In residential renovation, there is a notable emphasis on building technology, constituting around 40 percent of the total value of renovation.
The renovation market encompasses not only technical repairs related to building age but also significant building purpose modifications, for example, converting old, underutilised office properties into hotels or apartments, or improving usability by renewing layouts.
Approximately one-fifth of all renovation is maintenance and upkeep, with a higher-than-average share in non-residential properties.
In needs-based renovation, facade repairs and pipeline renovation are the largest projects for residential buildings. The number and value of pipeline renovation have been growing faster than other renovation for a long time, and this growth is expected to continue for a few more years. The growth is sustained by the large number of residential buildings that have reached the age when pipeline renovation are required. For a long time, apartment buildings built in the 1960s had the most building technology renovation. Now, properties built in the 1970s, which have the largest number of dwellings in terms of floor area, and partly properties from the 1980s, which are the most numerous due to e.g., the large number of terraced house construction, have reached renovation age. In addition to addressing technical repair needs, building technology enhancements improve living comfort.
Together with pipeline renovation, the increase in heating costs and the green transition contribute to growth in the building technology market. While energy efficiency has so far been primarily addressed alongside other renovation, the rising cost of energy and carbon neutrality goals have increased interest in separate energy renovation.
Besides building technology renovation, many housing companies have a growing need for facade renovation, which have often been neglected due to financial reasons in favour of pipeline renovation. Climate change significantly increases the demand for facade renovation and related maintenance services. The importance of roofs, eaves, cladding, and intact facades grows as winters become wetter, slanting rainfall increases and extreme weather phenomena intensify. The need for facade renovation is also heightened by the large number of residential buildings from the 1970s and 1980s reaching the renovation age.
In addition to renovation related to building technology and environmental goals, the need for renovation in commercial and office premises is increased by changes in space needs.
The need for renovation is sustained by both the aging building stock and global megatrends such as urbanisation, an aging population, changes in working habits and retail, and sustainability goals. Renovation play a crucial role in reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment, as the number of new buildings increases by only about one percent annually.
In Finland, both new construction and renovation are still strongly concentrated in growth centres.
Outlook for 2024
In 2024, the Building construction output in Finland is estimated to decrease by approximately 6.4 percent from the previous year. New construction is predicted to decline by approximately 12.5 percent and renovation by 0.4 percent in 2024.
Consti anticipates a decline in demand for renovation and building technology services in 2024. The significant weakening in demand for new construction has notably intensified competition for renovation projects and building technology contracts. In the first half of 2024, the readiness of housing companies and the public sector for renovation investments has remained at a reasonable level in Consti’s operating areas, but private real estate investment companies have been cautious about initiating new construction projects.
The demand outlook for construction is weakened by persistently high construction costs, rapidly increased interest rates and tighter availability of financing, and Consti does not anticipate significant improvement during the third quarter of the year.
Despite the market conditions, Consti aims to continue its solid performance supported by a healthy order backlog in 2024.
Consti estimates that its operating result for 2024 will be in the range of EUR 9–12 million.
