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.

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 is building a full suite of products one module at a time – kind of like office 365 but for construction management. ( and )

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.
