Laing O'Rourke Holdings Ltd

Laing O'Rourke is an international engineering and construction company with a history stretching back over 150 years, formed in 2001 from the merger of John Laing Plc's construction arm and R O'Rourke & Son. The company delivers state-of-the-art infrastructure and buildings projects for clients in the UK, Middle East, and Australia. They are pioneers in modern methods of construction (MMC), particularly their Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach, which involves manufacturing a significant portion of projects offsite.

This strategy, supported by their Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction (CEMC), aims to improve productivity, safety, quality, and reduce programme times and waste. Laing O'Rourke also heavily invests in digital innovation, using cutting-edge technology and digital solutions across the project lifecycle, including building projects virtually before physical construction. Their vertically integrated, direct delivery model harnesses in-house specialist businesses to manage risk and reward, offering clients certainty.

Laing O'Rourke is committed to being a force for positive change in the industry, with a purpose to "push the boundaries of what's possible, in service of humanity" underpinned by values of care, integrity, and courage. They have set ambitious sustainability targets, including decarbonising operations by 2030 and achieving gender parity by 2033.
