## About
Nutshell Construction is a born-and-bred family-run Sussex company. The directors have a family history in the county going back more than 400 years. We specialise in the restoration, renovation and rebuilding of Grade 1 and Grade 2 listed buildings but we work on anything which excites us architecturally including new builds. Our workforce is disciplined, polite and intelligent; we are aware that for many projects we are guests in our clients homes and our aim is to make the construction experience as pleasant as possible.

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
