New care home ready in September 2018

The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður has entered into an agreement with Munck Íslandi for the construction of a new care home at Sólvangur. Four bids were received for the project, and Munck Íslandi's bid proved to be the lowest. The project's cost estimate was 1,515,686,540, and the contractor's bid was below the estimate at 1,460,336,306.

The project is the construction of a care home at Sólvang in Hafnarfjörður, a three-storey building with a basement under part of the building, as well as a connecting corridor linking the new building to the existing Sólvang premises. The building is approximately 4,200 square metres in size. The project includes the construction of the building, complete with full interior and exterior finishes, as well as site works. The groundworks for the care home have been completed, and Munck Iceland is scheduled to complete the construction of the care home itself in September 2018.
