Foundations in complex projects
What began as a Norwegian project specialist has, over time, developed into a trusted partner across borders and sectors. Today, that experience is brought together under one company and one integrated offering: Dovre Solutions.
Dovre was founded in 1983, at a time when large‑scale development and investment projects in oil and gas were becoming increasingly complex. From the outset, the company focused on projects where structure, planning and professional judgment were critical to success.
The name Dovre was chosen deliberately. Inspired by Norway’s most renowned mountain range, it symbolised stability, endurance and long‑term perspective, values that would come to define the company’s role in demanding project environments.
Growth through experience and scale
Learning by doing across projects, sectors and borders
Over the following decades, Dovre grew through hands‑on involvement in major investment projects. Experience was built incrementally across sectors and geographies.
The company expanded its presence beyond Norway, supporting complex investments internationally and developing strong professional environments in several markets. This growth was underpinned by a consistent focus on quality, competence and long‑term client relationships.
In 2001, Dovre Group was aquired by Proha which was listed on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki, providing a platform for continued growth and international development.
Proha later changed name to Dovre Group. Over time, the company expanded through a combination of organic development and targeted acquisitions. By 2023, the group employed approximately 850 people across multiple countries, supporting projects in energy, infrastructure and industry with combined revenues of 196 MEUR.

Towards a more integrated approach
While Dovre had long supported different parts of complex project delivery, major investment projects continued to increase in complexity. Over time, experience across numerous projects pointed in the same direction: the greatest value was created when competence, governance and delivery were aligned.
This insight shaped a gradual shift towards a more integrated approach and reinforced the logic behind bringing long‑standing capabilities together under a clearer and more cohesive structure.
One company. One offering. One direction.
The formation of Dovre Solutions
A new chapter began in January 2025, when NYAB saw the strength of Dovre Group’s Norwegian consulting operations and global project personnel business, and the role these capabilities could play within a broader Nordic offering.
Together with NYAB’s established presence within Civil Engineering, the acquisition created a strengthened platform for value creation. It expanded the combined offering across the full investment project lifecycle, from early advisory and governance to execution and delivery.
Consolidation
In May 2026, the consulting operations and project personnel business, which had long delivered parts of this offering as separate entities came together as one company, one legal entity and one integrated project offering: Dovre Solutions.
This consolidation marked a natural step in Dovre’s development. It was not a break from the past, but a way of carrying forward decades of experience in a clearer, more cohesive structure, designed to meet the demands of today’s complex investment projects.
A legacy to build on
Today, Dovre Solutions builds on a strong historical foundation: experienced professionals, deep project knowledge and a long track record in demanding environments. What has changed is not the ambition or the values, but the clarity of how the company is organised and presented to the market.
With one company, one direction and a clear Nordic focus, Dovre Solutions continues its journey as a trusted partner for complex investment projects: bringing structure, competence and insight together to create lasting progress.
