___________________
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 Construction Consultancy & Tech Startup Hybrid!

We help construction projects optimize their project management as a consultancy and then we use our revenues to develop our own software products. We do things the Laminar Way, that is, we bring control and clarity to projects by implementing pragmatic solutions using a mix of latest technology, our own processes, and a big dose of common sense.

We deeply cherish our industry, with all its flaws and challenges. We believe that being a part of the construction process is being a part of what makes civilisation grow, and we have nothing but praise for the people that are helping to shape it.

Vision (Why we exist)
We exist so that everyone in our team can thrive in a high impact community that:

• Connects us with meaningful relationships
• Inspires us to develop ourselves to become better humans
• Empowers us to pursue our own learning adventures

We believe that, by first doing this, we can achieve the highest levels of value for the world.

Missions (What we are aiming for)

• To fully digitise the construction of human civilisation
• To create a new type of organisation that enables human flourishing while delivering a huge positive impact on society
