They enter the construction turn in Stockholm at about the same time. They also start their own company and almost ten years later the joint company HEBA, Holmberg & Ericsson Byggnads AB. Karl Holmberg was born in Gränna in 1886. In 1928, Karl Holmberg was in the construction turn in Stockholm as a rough worker for the construction company Oscarsson & Söderberg. He rises rapidly in the ranks. In 1930 he is a team base. It is a time of crisis and depression in Sweden and the company is going bankrupt. Karl Holmberg seizes the opportunity and, together with his comrades, starts a team that undertakes demolition and foundation work on a cooperative basis. The team merges into a limited company form and forms Stockholms Södra Byggnads AB. It's the fall of 1933. Folke Ericsson was born in 1905 in Lerbäck parish in southern Närke. In his early youth, Folke Ericsson dreams of becoming a banker or a big farmer. He will instead be a successful builder in Stockholm. Folke Ericsson arrives in Stockholm in 1930 and has a number of odd jobs due to the difficult times. In 1933 he worked in a team where the rough and cement worker base was named Karl Holmberg.
