Raksa.info

Most information on construction and repair work carried out by the City of Helsinki is available to the general public. Helsinki has also introduced a high degree of transparency to urban planning information. Despite the city’s efforts, many residents of Helsinki do not know where and how to get information on building sites.

Raksa.info is the answer

The Raksa.info service provides information on current construction projects in Helsinki to the residents of the city. In addition to this, it acts as an excellent service channel for builders. Different construction sites, such as an apartment building, a street or a buried electrical cable, are all given a Raksa.info number with which people can search for information on the site. Searches are fast and easy, and can be done by mobile phone or online.
