Sussex Design and Construction

We’re Chartwell, specialists in private residential Sussex design and construction at the higher end of the market. We also work in parts of Surrey, Kent and Hampshire.

Consider an extension, a renovation, conversion or even a from-the-start new build. Chartwell combines the outstanding skills of Aaron Humber, an architectural technologist and Mark Hillman, a Master Builder. Their years of combined senior-level experience have been distilled to a single aim:

To create and build your utterly beautiful, completely perfect home.

Specialist Experience

Aaron and Mark have the vision and practical know-how to turn a difficult, old-fashioned, run-down property that’s no longer fit for purpose into a house you won’t want to leave:

Light, airy, and with exceptional build standards. Fit for purpose to the absolute maximum, with large rooms that maximise space.

And, with expertise in interior design, including fixtures and fittings – even furniture if required – you’ll have your very own dream home. Chartwell truly understands what will work well and what may not be viable. What’s “buildable”; what’s most suitable for your needs; what will last the test of time to be a home you can pass down to the next generation.

Everything from One Company

We focus on offering a complete start-to-finish service:

  • Design
  • Planning
  • Technical Design
  • Building
  • Completion and finishing touches
  • Handover and sign-off

The Chartwell difference is clear:

It’s about instinctively knowing how you may feel when anticipating “building work”. In other words, one business to deal with, and one point of accountability. No fiddly, separate invoices that cause you to lose track. No issues with miscommunication. No duplicated efforts, wasted time, project delays (barring unforeseeable events), or the design clashing with the practical elements of the build.

It’s all smooth and streamlined. With minimal stress. This is Sussex design and construction at its very best.

A Complete Turnkey Service

What does “turnkey” mean? It means something ready for immediate use.

Or, in this case, for occupancy. After sign-off, simply “turn the key” and enter your new home. It will be fully functional from day one. There’s no extra work involved or further adjustments required. Your property will be fully built, renovated, extended or converted. The utilities will be connected. You’re ready to move in. That’s it.

Should you require, we partner with specialist suppliers and will organise absolutely everything:

  • Fixtures and fittings – kitchens, living areas, bathrooms, bedrooms and so on
  • Furniture – high-end pieces you will love, including soft furnishings
  • High-end gardeners and landscapers
  • All trades – plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tilers etc

Could this get any better? A little, perhaps. There’s a bottle of fizz in the fridge and a complete, leather-bound “Your New Home” guide to read while you toast your new life.

We See You

Chartwell recognises your high standards. And, that you need to feel confident your project is being handled professionally. You’re busy, so you’re after a reduced mental load.

You’ll appreciate a layout suited to modern living, great lighting design, and clean, contemporary aesthetics. Equally, spaces that perform well with good, solid workmanship.

Also, we know you value clear communication and proactive problem-solving; you’ll prefer a design and build company you can trust to make decisions on your behalf. How we show up matters, too: the quality of our proposal, how quickly we respond to emails, punctuality, and visual branding.

Do you feel your experience with Chartwell would signal the quality of the outcome? If so, we think so too. We really do see you.
