Reported scope and milestone
SRV: SRV and the City of Kouvola announced the agreement on 24 June 2026. SRV’s share is approximately EUR 18 million.
Engineering interpretation
The collaborative design-build contract includes design and construction. Work was scheduled to begin in autumn 2026 and completion in spring 2028; Kouvola remains the arena’s public owner and user.
Delivery responsibilities
The reported construction package defines the contractor’s delivery responsibilities. Civil works, building services, installation and commissioning may sit with different contractors or joint-venture partners. The full project budget is distinct from an individual contractor’s award. Contract award, site mobilization, practical completion and operation are separate milestones; planned dates and capacity remain prospective until the owner confirms delivery. The source-defined scope therefore matters when comparing a civil contractor, a construction manager and an integrated design-and-build provider.
