“I didn’t inherit this company. I built it. Every role. Every brick. Every lesson.”

The Real Beginning
In 2014, Sviat moved to the UK from a small town in Ukraine.
No job. No savings. No backup plan.
He started out working on warehouse logistics jobs just outside London — doing whatever it took to survive.
It wasn’t glamorous.
But it was real.
And it taught him how to work. Fast. Efficiently. No complaints.

Into the Industry — From the Bottom Up
In 2015, Sviat entered construction the way most don’t anymore — from the bottom.He started as a demolition laborer, then moved into carpentry and other trades. Over the next few years, he personally worked through
every keyrole on a construction site:
Unlike most founders, he didn’t skip steps.
He didn’t “buy in”.
He lived it.

every keyrole on a construction site:
- General labor
- Carpenter
- Dryliner
- Foreman
- Site manager
- Estimator
- Procurement
- Project lead
Unlike most founders, he didn’t skip steps.
He didn’t “buy in”.
He lived it.
And this experience became the foundation of something bigger.
The Problem He Saw
Sviat worked for dozens of contractors. He saw it all:
-
Poor planningConstruction delays often start with weak planning. Smart scheduling and clear processes keep projects on time. -
Missed deadlinesDelays can cost clients time and money. With clear timelines and proactive coordination, projects move smoothly from start to finish. -
No communicationLack of updates causes confusion on-site. Strong communication and transparent reporting keep every team member and client aligned. - Chaotic sitesUnorganized job sites reduce productivity. Structured workflows and management maintain steady progress.
-
No systems, no structureWithout a defined process, work becomes inconsistent. Planning and digital tracking help maintain order. -
Poor quality because of bad workmanshipInconsistent workmanship leads to costly rework. Skilled labor, quality checks, and attention to detail deliver long-lasting results.
Most construction companies were built on hustle. Not operations.
And that’s what inspired him to create Craftex.

“I wanted to build a company that actually works like a business —Clear structure.
Clear timelines. Clear responsibility.”

The Launch of Craftex
Craftex started small — a few private refurbishments, trusted trades, tight coordination.
But from day one, the mindset was different:
By year 2, Craftex passed £500,000 turnover
By year 3, over £1,000,000
As of today — 150+ completed projects across London and the Southeast, including:

What Makes Craftex Different
Craftex isn’t built around theory.It’s built around real experience.

And he combines that with a Mechanical Engineering degree, giving him:
When clients hire Craftex, they’re not dealing with middlemen. They’re working with a company that’s been through the fire — and knows how to lead from the front.
