Consertus, Inc., a portfolio company of RTC Partners, today announced the acquisition of Laceco, an architecture, engineering, and planning consultancy headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon. Founded in 1988, Laceco brings more than three decades of experience across planning, architecture, engineering, and project and construction management, further advancing Consertus’ presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
Laceco is among the region’s largest consultancies of its kind, with more than 150 professionals and offices in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan, and Oman. The firm has supported over $22.5 billion in project value for more than 100 clients, including developments such as NEOM Construction Villages, Al Mamsha, Manateq Headquarters, and The Boulevard and Abdali Mall.
The acquisition strengthens Consertus’ capabilities as demand grows for integrated design, engineering, and delivery solutions across urban development, infrastructure, energy, and environmental sectors.
“Laceco is an exceptional addition to Consertus,” said Roy Block, CEO of Consertus. “Their technical expertise, long-standing client relationships, and track record of complex project delivery strengthen our ability to provide integrated solutions across the project lifecycle. Laceco’s regional presence and technical depth strengthen our capabilities and position the company for continued growth. We look forward to partnering with their team to expand in key markets.”
“Joining Consertus marks an important milestone for Laceco,” said Yazane Alaily, CEO of Laceco. “Together, we are well positioned to broaden our service offering, create new opportunities for our people, and deliver greater value to clients across the region.”
Laceco provides services spanning master planning and urban design, architecture and interior design, engineering, infrastructure, environmental advisory, and program and construction management. Its BIM-enabled workflows and cloud-based collaboration tools support efficient delivery from concept through completion.
