Our plant includes; laser cutters, CNC routers, spray and extract equipment, routing, sanding and planing equipment, band saws, table saws, lathes, belt finishers, MIG welders, planer thicknesser, chop saws, dimensioning saw, drills, ureathane and foam spray equipment, and CAD design equipment with plotters.

With a team of over 40, we provide a wide range of artistic and construction skills: model-making, sculpting, engineering, prop-making, scenic painting, mould making, fibre glass and urethane fabrication, metalwork, display joinery, CNC routing, laser cutting and set dressing.

Our multi-disciplined and creative teams include some of the best craftspeople and artists in the industry, with backgrounds in design, film, television, theatre, architecture and fine arts, together with traditional skills such as cabinet-making, mold-making, metalworking and engineering.

 

These skills are directed by a strong administrative and project management team with many years of experience in estimating, costing, scheduling, procurement, project co-ordination and site management. Our experience enables us to offer the designer, the architect, the building contractor and ultimately the client a seamless transition from concept through to installation.

Paragon’s involvement in design development is growing as schedules compress and it becomes more vital than ever for designers and fabricators to work in tandem to resolve methods, materials and structural choices at the earliest stage in the design development of a project.

The demand for quality creative solutions and the interface with conventional construction trades is critical. Paragon Creative plays a pivotal part in the process of bringing together a new and dynamic group of trades.

We have adapted special production techniques to meet a diverse range of new design challenges.  We work with a wide range of materials - from MDF to oak, from polyester to polystyrene, from GRP to urethane, from canvas to clay and from latex to steel. Many materials and mixes we have developed ourselves and are unique to us.
