Lawrence Melton
CEO and President, The Building People
Lawrence Melton learned how to lead change and innovation across one of the most complex real estate portfolios in the world. As Facilities Manager of the White House during September 11th, 2001, his leadership was tested as he transformed their operations to deal with terror threats and technology adoption that was secure and reliable in an age of rapid innovation. After only a few years, Melton was promoted to a Senior Executive role where he was responsible for more than 350 million square feet of Federal real estate for the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service National Headquarters. During this period, Melton assembled an innovative and experienced leadership team to implement the largest smart buildings program in the country and a national integrated work management system to create one of the largest and most advanced real estate portfolios in the world.
​
As he looked to the future, Melton’s vision was to step away from government service to create a company that could provide a total real estate and facility operations solution that delivers the integrated services he sought in the marketplace as a Federal Executive, but could never find. In 2013, The Building People was born as an idea to create a company that could integrate technology, buildings, and people to deliver the future of facilities today. Now in its tenth year, we are recognized as an industry-standard providing a total real estate services solution to the industry.
