Construct Venture invests in Solvera
Construct Venture has invested in Solvera, an Oslo-based AI-native engineering firm for construction. The $6.3 million pre-seed round is led by Seedcamp, with participation from Construct Venture, OBOS Ventures, Inception Fund, Momentum, PSV Tech, Sondo and The Nordic Web Ventures, as well as angel investors including Spacemaker founders Anders Kvåle and Håvard Haukeland.
Solvera works as the engineering firm of record: clients pay for finished engineering, not software licences or consulting hours. Its own AI systems do a growing share of the work, while experienced building engineers provide the judgement. The company starts with mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineering, and its first projects in Norway include work with the contractor Betonmast.
Founded by Arif Mirza, Pål Rasmussen and Thorvald Thorsnes, Solvera started operations in July 2026 and passed $1 million in contracted revenue in its first three months. The round will fund a larger team in Oslo, a new office in London and further development of the Solvera operating system.
