Get to Know Us…

Cedar Valley Construction is the culmination of carpenters who realised one day that after years of building for other companies, we’d gathered enough experience, skill, and drive to do it our own way.

We’ve all worked for some of the most respected and award-winning home-building companies in West Sussex, delivering projects worth millions. But we also saw how large-company overheads and layers of management can get in the way of personal service and attention to detail.

By forming Cedar Valley Construction, we wanted to bring the same high-end quality we’d always delivered - but directly to our own clients, with a smaller, more personal approach.

And that’s exactly what we do.

We still love what first drew us to the trade: hands-on craftsmanship, teamwork, and the pride of handing over something built properly.

Mat

Mat began his career as an apprentice carpenter and progressed up to a lead carpenter, and eventually project manager, running projects ranging from small renovations to a £7.5 million development, before starting Cedar Valley.

His eye for detail and practical know-how made him the go-to guy when deadlines were tight and the finish had to be perfect.

That mix of trade experience and big-picture management means your project is in capable hands with Mat - he understands both how things should look and how they actually get built.

Tom

Tom’s career has always been about precision and teamwork. After years as a lead carpenter with some of the top carpentry contractors in the region, he built a reputation for unbending standards and the ability to bring a crew together to get the job done, whatever the challenge may be.

He’s known for his sharp eye, forward planning, and for keeping sites running smoothly with a “never settle for good enough” attitude that sets the tone for everyone around him.

At the heart of it all, we just love building. We love taking an empty space or an old structure and turning it into something that people will enjoy for years to come. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of handing a finished project over to a client, seeing their reaction, knowing the effort, late nights, and care that went into every detail.

For us, that’s what it’s all about: doing work we’re proud of, for people who appreciate good craftsmanship, and leaving behind something solid that speaks for itself.
