The municipality of Re has awarded Veidekke Entreprenør the contract to build a
new care home with 116 spaces in Re in Vestfold County. This will be a turnkey
contract valued at NOK 276 million, excluding VAT.

The new care home will be in Revetal, which is the centre of Re municipality.
Floor­ space will total 16,000 m(2) over three levels and a cellar. The building
will include all of the services related to care for the elderly provided by the
municipality, and it will replace older buildings that are currently used for
the purpose.

The new care building is a major effort on the part of Re municipality, and it
is primarily intended to be a building that will ensure good services well into
the future. The combining of   care for the elderly in a new, fully modern
building in Revetal will provide the municipality with more treatment spaces to
cover increasing demand, more flexible solutions tailored for today's care
requirements and possibilities for more rational and efficient operations.

"We are obviously very happy that we have been chosen as contractor for this
assignment. We have been through a good process with the municipality, and we
look forward to starting construction," says District Manager Erland Johansen
with Veidekke.

Building will commence in the beginning of February, and the building will be
ready for use in the autumn of 2014.
