About Layer

Director-led project management for London's most considered buildings.

What brought us together

To redefine the client experience of project management in construction - simplifying the complex.

Our story

As experienced project leaders.

Our services

Layer is a project management consultancy specialising in the delivery of development, refurbishment and occupier fit-out projects across the commercial real estate sector.

We support clients through the most critical stages of the project lifecycle - from early feasibility and strategy, through procurement and construction, to handover and occupation.

Built around experienced project leaders, we bring together disciplined governance, technical understanding and proactive leadership to manage risk, drive progress and protect our clients' interests throughout delivery.

As an independent, owner-led consultancy, we offer a different experience from most, with senior-level job delivery and clear accountability, on schemes of any scale.
