At Claypot, we spend a lot of our time working with technology, buildings, systems and automation. But some of our favourite moments involve something far less complicated — a wagging tail, a wet nose and a very enthusiastic welcome.

Our love for dogs and animals is simply part of who we are. Whether it’s making sure a neighbourhood dog gets a meal, stopping for a quick head scratch on the way to a site, helping an animal in need, or somehow turning every office dog encounter into a full team meeting, our people rarely miss an opportunity to make a four-legged friend.

We believe kindness doesn’t always need a grand initiative or a big campaign. Sometimes, it’s a bowl of water on a hot day, a packet of food kept handy, a little medical help, or just giving an animal a safe place to rest. These small acts have become a natural part of life at Claypot, carried forward by people who genuinely care.

And while we’d like to think we’re the ones looking after them, we’re fairly certain the arrangement works both ways. They give us better site visits, happier breaks, countless photos, and an excellent reminder that some of the best relationships require no Wi-Fi, passwords or software updates.

So yes, we build smart buildings. But we also have a serious soft spot for paws.
