Linesight

What Linesight does

Linesight is a Dublin-headquartered, privately held global construction consultancy operating for approximately 50 years (founded 1974/1976) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. The firm delivers professional services — program management, project management, project controls, cost management (quantity surveying), supply chain management, procurement, planning and scheduling, health and safety, consultancy, and embodied carbon accountancy — to enterprise clients executing complex, mission-critical construction projects. The LINESIGHT trade mark is held by Millfont Limited, and the legal entity is registered in Ireland.

The company is vertically specialised in data centres, life sciences and high-tech industrial (semiconductor fabs, battery gigafactories), with additional exposure to commercial development, healthcare, transportation and infrastructure, and energy/renewables. It supports clients through direct, locally staffed engagements delivered from 40+ offices in 20+ countries across the Americas, APAC, Europe and the GCC, with regional hubs in Singapore and Dubai. Named engagements include the 270 Park Avenue redevelopment in New York, AstraZeneca's One Helix facility in Amsterdam, and Digital Connexion's MAA10 hyperscale data centre in Chennai.

Linesight monetises through project-based, multi-year professional services contracts priced on scope and complexity. Its go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, anchored by thought-leadership content — most notably the proprietary Construction Market Insights reports (now in their fifth edition, June 2026) covering macro conditions, commodity dynamics and supply chain intelligence across Europe, Americas, APAC and GCC. The firm reports 50%+ repeat business from clients and is structured around sector expertise, regional delivery and proprietary market intelligence rather than software products.
