maintain an environment where that kind of growth is possible, Darran adds. They’ve also worked hard to foster a culture where everyone feels respected, and “everyone is happy to come to work in the morning.” “We want to have a successful environment for everyone. We want people to come to work happy and go home happy. We believe that’s when they are at their best.” LAING doesn’t just look for that culture fit in their employees, however. They also strive to work with likeminded subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors. An example of such a partner is Engineered Architecturals – they are company that supplies and provides technical support for specialty exterior architectural products. Their support ranges from technical detailing and specification to budgeting and supply. They are successful due to their strong relationships with both customers and manufacturers. According to their founder and owner, Nathan Morlock, their mission is “to help customers to do their best work, maintain profitability, and build beautifully.” According to Darran, meanwhile, that kind of passion and commitment is what LAING looks for in all their partners.
