Report on time consumption and finances in state construction and infrastructure projects

10-03-2025

Report no. 13/2024

This report deals with the state’s construction and infrastructure projects and whether they have been completed on time and within the approved financial budget. 

The purpose of the study is to assess whether the ministries’ construction and infrastructure projects are being implemented as initially planned. Rigsrevisionen answers the following questions in the report: 

  • Have the ministries’ construction and infrastructure projects been completed on time?
  • Have the ministries’ construction and infrastructure projects been completed within the original financial budget? 

Rigsrevisionen mapped 120 construction and infrastructure projects across six ministries to provide an overview of how the projects’ time consumption and finances have been managed. The mapping shows that approximately 60% of the projects were not completed as initially planned. The consequence is that the Folketinget approves projects based on a foundation that, in most cases – especially in terms of time – proves to be inaccurate. 

Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in December 2023.
