Early phase

Studies, permits and site data before design begins. 12 guides

Compile source material for an EIA (environmental impact assessment)

An EIA weighs the site's conditions against environmental requirements, with material drawn from several sources. Yesper fetches and compiles, for example, protected nature (Naturvårdsverket, the Swedish EPA), soil types (SGU) and relevant requirements (the Swedish Environmental Code) and structures it per environmental aspect – depending on what you ask for. Most valuable early, ahead of siting decisions and permit applications. You get a structured base to build on.

Check nature values and protected areas around a site

If the site touches protected nature it affects both design and permits, so it needs to be established early. Yesper searches the Swedish EPA's (Naturvårdsverket) data and summarises, for example, nature reserves, Natura 2000 and shoreline protection for your area, and can show the boundaries on a map in the chat. Most relevant in the early siting and planning stage.

Check soil types and geology for a site (SGU)

Geology governs foundations, excavation and dewatering, so an early picture of the ground conditions saves both time and risk. Yesper fetches SGU's data (the Geological Survey of Sweden), summarises soil type and expected conditions, and can show the soil distribution on a map. Most valuable early on and ahead of designing ground and foundation works.

Compile source material for a stormwater or water utility study

A stormwater or water utility study builds on runoff, the receiving waters, ground conditions and applicable requirements. Yesper gathers the conditions and structures them ahead of design – for example ground conditions (SGU) and requirements in the Swedish Public Water Services Act. Most relevant early on and in development projects.

Prepare source material for a noise study

A noise study starts from sources, receptors and applicable guideline values. Yesper sorts the conditions and compiles the guideline values ahead of the calculation, based on your material. Most relevant early on in road, rail and residential projects.

Look up requirements in PBL and PBF for building permits or detailed plans

PBL and PBF govern permits, the planning process and control. Yesper searches PBL and PBF and answers with a reference to the right section – faster than leafing through the legal text. Most relevant early on, for building permits and detailed development plans.

Check the parking standard for a municipality

The parking standard governs how many car and bicycle spaces a project requires. Yesper looks up the applicable standard and calculates the parking ratio from the project's scope. Most relevant in the early planning stage and in development projects.

Fetch climate and weather data (SMHI) for the project site

Weather and climate affect weather-sensitive work such as concrete pours, paving and winter works. Yesper fetches data from SMHI (the Swedish met office) so you can plan and back up assumptions in the schedule. Relevant both in planning and continuously during production.

Interpret a geotechnical investigation (MUR/PM Geoteknik)

A geotechnical survey report (MUR) or geotechnical memo contains what governs excavation, foundations and dewatering – but is often long. Yesper reads the report and brings out the soil layer sequence, groundwater level and recommendations. Most valuable ahead of design and work preparation for ground works.

Run an early-stage surroundings and risk analysis

Projects in dense environments affect neighbours, traffic and utilities, and the risks need to be caught early. Yesper identifies and structures surroundings risks in a risk matrix with proposed protective measures, based on your material. Most relevant early on and ahead of site establishment.

Create a map of the study or project area

A map of the project area gives a quick overview and a clear basis for coordination. Yesper shows a map directly in the chat where you mark the area with points, polygons and lines, with selectable background layers. Most relevant early on and ahead of site establishment.

Check a company before procurement or partnership

Before procurement or a partnership you want a quick read on a counterparty's finances and status. Yesper fetches company data from allabolag.se – key figures, revenue, profit and company status. Most relevant early on and in supplier assessment.
