The cornerstone of construction
Established over 35 years ago, The Martin Sewell Building Company is setting the bar
high in the construction industry.
Restoration projects, ultra-modern builds and low carbon footprint schemes are all represented in their portfolio, which includes both commercial and residential projects. Conversions, extensions, conservation, refurbishment and new builds are all numbered amongst the many projects they’ve completed in and around Sussex and further afield.
Master builder and founder, Martin Sewell has been awarded a fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), a rare accolade reserved for the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the industry.
Whilst the company as a whole has deservedly earned membership of both the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the National House Building Council (NHBC). The high calibre of their work reflected in their multiple award wins including Sussex Heritage Trust Public & Community, Commercial, “highly commended” Small Scale Residential and only last month runner up at the LABC South East Building Excellence Awards.
Unusually in the construction industry, Martin and his team are often called in to consult on projects right from the outset, working closely with clients and architects for the best possible outcome.
“Our thoroughness, meticulous attention to detail and consistently high standards are the hallmarks of our work. Trust and partnership working are at the heart of our work,” explains Martin. “We treat people the way we’d like to be treated ourselves.”
This ethos permeates the entire company, from the many community and charitable initiatives they support to their respect and support for their staff – illustrated in their Investors in People accreditation.
The Martin Sewell Building Company directly employs their team of 20 people, investing in their professional development from apprenticeships to specialist professional qualifications in historic conservation. The materials and techniques they use also reflect their ethics, with a focus on eco buildings and carbon footprint reduction, building healthy homes for clients which are good for the environment too.
The company is forward looking, embracing change whilst holding on to the best of traditional craftsmanship. As the industry gears up to do its part for the green revolution, you can be sure this company will be helping their clients to make the choices that fit with their personal consciences.
“To all who have worked so hard to make our home the beautiful house that it now is it has been a pleasure, you are an excellent team and a credit to the company and yourselves”.
