Developments and maintenance

Details

Annual development projects are based on an approved investment plan and a longer-term three-year operational and financial plan. The consultation and approval process for development takes into account the lifecycle of structures: spanning from the preparation stage, where major guidelines are established based on given assumptions, to the design and planning phase, when detailed specifications and cost calculations are available. At each of these stages, the City consults with stakeholders, residents, and service users. At the end of each phase, matters are presented within the City administration and approved by the relevant council as appropriate.

Office of Construction and Real Estate Services (SFF)

The Office of Construction and Real Estate Services (SFF) manages capital construction projects on behalf of Reykjavík City and is responsible for maintaining the City's property portfolio, including buildings and transportation structures.

SFF's role is to promote best practices, quality, and efficiency in City construction projects.

SFF conducts initial assessments, needs analyses, and preliminary designs on projects before final construction decisions are made. Following this, SFF handles final project design, planning, construction, and project supervision.

Structures and development projects on municipal land are designed for tender in consultation with relevant specialized departments, and specifications are presented to the appropriate councils.

SFF is responsible for ensuring its procurement practices align with the City's Procurement Policy and procurement regulations governing goods, services, and construction.
