Paragon Architects is an internationally active African architecture business, founded and headquartered in Johannesburg / South Africa. Paragon Architects forms the core of the Paragon Group of design businesses, which have been active since October 1997. Our practice is now one of the largest, most agile and fastest growing architecture firms in Africa.
We deliver the full range of design and project implementation services for ambitious and innovative clients. Our key contribution is borne out in the delivery of projects to predetermined financial returns on fast-track construction projects, integrating technology and active performance monitoring processes.
At Paragon Architects, we are committed to the future of Africa and its cities and are consequently actively growing our involvement in the property industry in emerging markets: in the African market, we are working actively with landowners and operators who wish to grow visibly branded property portfolios.
Our practice values and long-term relationships with clients and their project teams define the basis of our ongoing success. Paragon Architects constantly strives to establish new working relationships with stakeholders active in the continental African property and construction industries, where we assist investors in identifying opportunities and realising value in the property economy.
BDA’s work is visible in many places, but is most commonly seen in healthcare and educational facilities, which now comprise the majority of our practice. In addition to our specialty areas of healthcare and education, we also have considerable design experience in the private and public sector, with clients ranging from regional to nationally-known companies.
What BDA’s clients do have in common is that they all receive the same attentive and personalized services from our staff. You can expect we will meet with you on your time table, at your location and remain in constant contact with you so you’ll know the status of your project at any given moment.
There are several additional factors which help to distinguish BDA from other firms. First of all, our reputation in Northeastern PA for producing the highest quality construction documents is unrivaled. Secondly, perhaps our most revealing credential is our high number of long-term, repeat clients, some of whom we have served since 1965.
