SKVL also serves as a legislative developer and advisor, and supervises the ethical conduct of its member entrepreneurs in the sector. The organisation also trains those working in the sector to become experts in legislation and sustainable development in housing. One important cornerstone of its activities is to publish unbiased, accurate information on the market and to report quarterly on the regional housing situation and its development in Finland.
