We are Laminar Projects!
If you have already heard about us, you are probably reading this because you are tired of the typical old-fashioned and chaotic ways of doing things in construction. But in case you haven’t, we are a high-end construction project management consultancy and also a construction management tech developer. Improving construction strengthens the very foundation of human civilisation
As a consultancy, we are focused on genuinely upgrading the way construction projects are delivered. We bring control and clarity to projects using a pragmatic mix of the latest technology, our own processes, and a big dose of common sense.
We then take the deep understanding of the projects we work on and all of our spare revenue to develop construction management software products that anyone can use to deliver their projects better. Our tech team are building a full suite of products one module at a time – kind of like office 365 but for construction management.
The core of all this is our true secret sauce, people. We only recruit the very best both in capability and personality. We are deeply focused on designing a new type of organization that is optimised for the flourishing of the people in the team first and foremost. People that join us develop fast as a whole person in ways they never imagined.
This approach has allowed us to grow from just 2 people in 2017 to over 120 today and we are still very much at the beginning! Joining us isn’t just some “job”, it is a transformative educational experience. We challenge you to be your best self in all aspects of life.
Any role that you start with at Laminar should be seen only as a starting point. Our fast growth means that there are many diverse and interesting challenges available and it is up to you to guide yourself into whichever areas you are most interested in – we will enable it.
