Why Norway needs so many builders
Norway builds a lot, all year round. New houses go up, old ones get fixed up, flats get renovated. There aren't enough local workers to do it all, so good builders, carpenters and finishers are always in demand.
That means steady work and good money. The same skills, wood framing, drywall, finishing, earn far less in most of Europe. In Norway you get paid more for the same work, and the job is run properly.
You don't need Norwegian. On site, what counts is your hands and your experience. The foreman shows you the job, and the rest is just work you already know.
