Finalist | Laminar Projects
In our changing world, project delivery is becoming more complex. In this environment, digitalisation isn’t a nice to have; it’s how you track and manage everything that’s happening, right down to the smallest information deliverable.
We enable this by pairing boots-on-the-ground project managers – construction people who speak site as well as they do strategy – with tech talent you'd find at the most advanced labs. By connecting these worlds, we're able to implement best-in-class digital solutions that give our clients visibility over everything that’s happening on their projects – and the ability to make every decision with unquestionable facts.
