Carfax | March 2015 goal.” “The entire project team was excellent,” he adds. “Everyone from the client, to the project managers, to TKD Architects – they all worked hard to overcome the hurdles and helped us deliver an excellent result.” Moving forward, Paul aims to continue working collaboratively with clients like that to deliver exceptional projects like Graythwaite. Recently, Carfax did that on another award-winning project for the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), who are one of their many long term clients. “We built a new three-storey building within NIDA, which was also an extremely difficult project,” Paul says. “We had no access, and we weren’t allowed to block the street. We ended up lifting in a self-erecting Tower crane in the middle of the night, and we built the building by bringing everything in by hand – including more than 60 tonnes of steel and roughly 50 tonnes of other buildingmaterials. It all had to be brought through the main foyer of NIDA out of hours.” “But again, the client was very happy with us,” he adds. “That’s what we thrive on.” In the future, Paul says they will keep thriving as they grow – ideally by 15 to 20 per cent per year. They will also continue to take on larger projects, and will look at creating a division within the company to take care of the smaller ones, and perhaps another division to take care of heritage ones. “That’s around the corner,” Paul says. “But our main line of work has been working within live commercial environments, and we’re keen to continue along that line.” “For me, what’s most important is delivering a product that our clients and the Carfax team are happy with,” he adds. “If we continue to do that, we’ll continue to grow from strength to strength.”
