FOUNDER
Linda Cirigliano
I started working in the construction industry building alongside my father from a young age. We may have only been installing deck insulation, but his evident passion for building, and his smile as we shared lunch on upturned buckets and watched a project grow into a home, stayed with me my entire life.
After graduating from NYU School of Construction Management, I spend the next 16 years collaborating with—and project-coordinating for—an elite group of architects, designers, consultants, general contractors, and industry professionals all over New York City. I rose through the ranks, and established trusted relationships with some of the most in-demand design-build professionals in the world.
In 2015, I founded LC Three but the company's form really began to take shape in my mind much earlier than that. It was inspired by my conviction that the highest level of construction excellence is achieved when there are no gaps in communication and there is a strong understanding between clients, designers, architects, and contractors.
