We’re honored that Clayco and Lamar JohnsonCollaborative have once again been named the #1 Best Place toWork in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

But this year, that recognition feels different.

Following the wildfires that swept through parts ofCalifornia earlier this year, some of our very own LA team members lost their homes. Others stepped up without hesitation—offering help, opening their doors, and reminding all of us what Clayco’s culture really looks like in action.

This isn’t just about workplace perks or benefits. It’s about a team that genuinely shows up for one another. It’s about leaders who listen, flexibility that meets real life, and a shared belief that care, creativity, and trust build more than just great projects—they build strong communities.

What’s happening in our LA office is a reflection of something bigger: a culture we’ve all built together, one that puts people first.

To our team in Los Angeles—thank you. You’ve made this more than a workplace. You’ve made it a community we’re proud to be part of.

Let’s keep building on that.
