The way most engineers move through their careers is to get good at the job in front of them. Namrata, project engineer at OMRT, did that for the first two years. Then she started asking a different question, and it took her somewhere most engineering paths do not lead. We sat down with her to talk about how she got from there to here, and what it took to make the moves no one had assigned to her. A working principle from before OMRT Namrata trained as an architect in India a

AI has been part of how we build the OMRT / hub for a long time. Our engineers were among the first in real estate to put large language models into daily working use. The more interesting question, by now, is not whether we use them but how. We work with AI, not for it. That distinction shapes the way the OMRT / hub gets built. To understand what that means in practice, we sat down with Amirsalar, computational engineer at OMRT, and one of the people who has pushed daily AI

Parties that both develop and build hold a unique position. They control the process from the first sketch to the final brick. That horizontal integration should be a powerful advantage. In practice, it rarely is. Over the past months, OMRT spoke with more than a dozen Dutch developing contractors, in collaboration with TU Delft, about their software landscape and vision for the future. The pattern was consistent: there is an accumulation of bottlenecks compounding at every t

The property market faces an immense task. The call for more homes is louder than ever, yet the sector is navigating strict sustainability requirements, rising construction costs, and complex regulations. We need to build faster, but many processes are slowing us down. The paradox is clear: more must be done with fewer resources. But where is the real bottleneck? For this research, we teamed up closely with a dedicated researcher from TU Delft and engaged with over 25 visiona

What a ride. We’re immensely proud to share that OMRT has climbed to the 15th spot in this year’s Deloitte Technology Fast 50 . This is a real reflection of the acceleration we’re experiencing. Every step we’ve taken together, from 33rd just two years ago, to 20th last year, and now 15th, has sharpened our vision and fuelled our drive to move faster and achieve more. Congrats to Zander Labs for taking first place this year. Setting the pace at the top is never easy and we se
