Meat the Building Craftsmen Team

At Building Craftsmen, we’ve always believed that a building is only as good as the hands that built it. We pride ourselves on having a 20-strong, directly employed team of specialist tradesmen – many of whom have been with us for a huge part of our 35-year history.

Our Leadership

The technical expertise at Building Craftsmen starts at the top.
Our leadership team ensures that every project is managed with
professional rigour and personal pride.

Neil Hewitson,
Managing Director

Neil founded Building Craftsmen in 1987. A skilled carpenter by trade, Neil’s “on-the-tools” background means he understands the intricacies of craftsmanship better than most. His vision of a company that prioritises quality over shortcuts remains our guiding principle.

Kevin Rodgers,
Quantity Surveyor

Kevin brings the commercial and technical oversight required to keep our larger projects on track. His expertise ensures that our focus on “on time and within budget” is met with mathematical precision.

Meet Our Specialist Tradesmen

We have specialists across every discipline – from master bricklayers and carpenters to expert groundwork teams. Because our tradesmen stay with us for the long haul, they work together like a well-oiled machine. This means better communication on-site, fewer delays, and a level of consistency in the finish that you just don’t get with a disjointed team.

Every member of our team, from the office to the site, is committed to our core goal: delivering projects on time, within budget, and to a standard we’d be happy with in our own homes.

The Way We Work

We’re a friendly bunch, and we know that having builders in your home or on your business premises can be a bit disruptive. That’s why we hire for personality as much as for skill.

Our local team is:

Approachable

We’re always happy to answer your questions or explain a technical detail in plain English.

Collaborative

We work hand-in-hand with your architects and engineers to make sure the project stays on track.

Respectful

We treat your site with care, keeping things as tidy as possible and maintaining a professional environment from start to finish.
