Paul Matt’s lifelong ambition to tackle challenging projects head on with a collaborative spirit has led to a career in construction that spans 65 years and encompasses more than 450 buildings, many of which are among Southern California’s most iconic structures.
“Paul brings unique qualities to the collaboration between contractor, architect, engineer and owner,” says architect Moshe Safdie, with Safdie Architects, who nominated Matt for ENR California’s Legacy Award. “He invests in an effort to understand the project’s objectives and comes forward with innovations which are both effective and economical.”
