Paulo Chaves, graduated from Universidade Moderna – Lisboa with a Bachelors in Engineering (Civil).  Following his family’s move back to Portugal he was adamant to keep his passion and keen interest in infrastructure development alive.  He left the comfort of family and home in Lisbon for the United States of America where he spent 8 years.  He worked for well-known construction companies including Perform Concrete (major subcontractor of Hobbs) as well as to Turner Construction, respectively, – who were subcontracted to major residential projects in the exclusive residential areas and to celebrities in New York of Greenwich Connecticut, Pond Ridge, White Plains, Harrison and Ridgefield Connecticut.  It is most entertaining to watch his larger than life extrovert personality tell stories of multi million rand dollar kitchens that celebrities changed their mind on overnight and to replace with more million dollar revised version – whilst his conscious spoke to the struggling majority he had experienced not only in Africa but through his professional nomadic take on seeing the world.  It was no surprise, after 8 years in USA construction industry, when he gravitated towards home soil when he joined CFRL in Angola for 4.5 yrs working on projects in public works, sanitation and commercial. 

He returned to his birth country where he had only had the privilege to enjoy for first 18 months of his life, Mozambique, to acquire land and develop in the residential space – a business he continues to oversee from nearby Johannesburg, South Africa until now.  Until he met his match 10 years ago, South Africa became home.  A devotated father to four year old Faith and his dog Chappo he is fulfilled in his property passion.
