MBSA President’s Award
Carl Mouton (L) receives the President’s Award from MBSA President, John Matthews
At the banquet a special President’s Award was presented to Carl Mouton.
Carl became interested in construction from a very young age when two rooms were added to a farmhouse near Standerton, where he, his mother and his sister were staying, while his father was away fighting in World War II. After school, he decided to go into architecture, completed his studies (University of Pretoria) and then in 1962 spent three years in Arabia, where his practical experiences were considered very valuable.
During his time in Arabia (now Yemen), Carl encountered mud-built buildings, up to nine stories high, which had been standing over a thousand years in the Wadi Hadhramaut. On his return from Arabia, he started his own practice with partners and later in 1966 started an office in Durban. That was an extremely difficult and challenging time as he was considered a stranger and faced tremendous challenges in sustaining and growing the business. Through relentless effort and perseverance, the business began to grow and went on to become a major firm in KZN and beyond. By the time he retired, he was a senior partner of the largest firm of Architects in the country with 14 offices throughout Southern Africa and five associated offices overseas.
In South Africa, he also served on the Board of the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of the Chamber of Industries. He chaired over 20 Boards, Councils and Committees. Carl served as a Director for Com Housing who built over 69 000 RDP houses. This was all done for no remuneration. He grew from a 1 man-band to 19 offices throughout the world.
Carl has served the industry his entire adult life. He still serves the industry today, as a judge in the Excellence in Construction competition. He has also mentored numerous architectural students and help create many tradesmen.
