Statens vegvesen is Norway's national agency for roads and road traffic, under the Ministry of Transport. Among other things, it manages the National Road Database (NVDB), one of Europe's most comprehensive public collections of road data. NVDB supplies Placepoint with data on road category, road authority and speed limit, traffic volume, road traffic accidents, bridges, water & sewer assets along roads, and load classes and restrictions for heavy vehicles.

What Statens vegvesen gives you
The data, and what it decides
For a developer, the building line is often a critical assumption early in design. Depending on the road category (national, county, municipal or private road), it usually ranges from 15 to 50 metres. Traffic volume and accident patterns matter both in noise assessments and as market data for retail and commercial buildings. Much of the content in the Transport and communications and Risk map layers comes from here.
Statens vegvesen works to create a smart, connected road transport system for the whole of Norway. We will develop good road systems that everyone can use, where transport does not cause serious harm to people or the environment.

What customers say
What they do with Placepoint
“Placepoint is our main platform for property information. In practice, we only use Placepoint now.”
Petter CedellGroup Director of Property Investments, Selvaag Bolig“We see a clear efficiency gain with Placepoint, as much of the information we need on ownership, ownership structures, zoning purposes and encumbrances is gathered in one place. Several of us in the organisation use the tool daily and get a lot out of it.”
Kristian AkslandPartner, CMS Kluge“We use Placepoint daily for credit work. Among other things, we can identify ownership concentration in business parks.”
Lars Kristian TveterSenior Relationship Manager, Danske Bank“We have 25 salespeople using Placepoint every day to generate leads and find tenants.”
Henning BjørnsgårdHead of Sales and Development, EIR“We make active use of Placepoint in our nature-risk mapping. The data is an important part of what we base our decisions on.”
Anne Cecilie OterkjærHead of Nature and Environment, OBOS“Placepoint is simply our most important tool. It gives us instant access to site data, zoning and market insight that used to take days to dig up. When we assess new projects, Placepoint is the first thing we open.”
