In addition to residential construction, the first day care centres are completed in Muhos and Liminka.
Lapti’s promise – We build with care – also originates from this year. 2008 as a result of the international banking crisis, residential business was practically halted. At the time, Lapti had a lot of completed homes available for sale in relation to the company’s size. Funds were tied up in the inventory of completed homes and new construction could not be started until the inventory was sold. There were very few buyers, but most of them selected a home built by Lapti after they completed their comparison. This was due to well-designed homes, high-quality materials and solutions and still keeping the price competitive. This has been one of Lapti’s key success factors throughout its history. This is where the growth years began.
