Andy Nurden

Director

Andy Nurden, Director of AC Nurden Quality Builders, has seamlessly woven his family’s generations-long construction legacy into a thriving enterprise.

Andy’s apprenticeship under his grandfather (and later partnership with his father) gave him the freedom to research and understand the unique landscape of British architectural history and fuelled a passion for classic building, which led to the founding of AC Nurden Quality Builders in 1983.

Melding time-honoured craftsmanship with contemporary demands, he embarked on a journey to preserve the Cotswolds’ architectural heritage.
From the onset, Andy’s commitment to quality set him apart. Over the years, the company’s scope expanded impressively, encompassing residential projects, high street retail units, a builder’s yard, a garden centre, café and more.

This growth not only reflected his strong business acumen but also his unwavering dedication to upholding the region’s unique charm. Andy’s proud and passionate approach cascades to every member of the team and are evident in the stunning results they achieve.

Andy's influence reaches beyond construction.

His fervent support for good causes, sponsorship of events, and engagement with local clubs underscore his devotion to community well-being.

Beyond the construction site, Andy’s heart races in the world of motorsports. A former Motocross National Champion and participant in two Dakar rallies, his passion for speed remains undiminished. He pays it forward by mentoring and sponsoring emerging talents, cementing his legacy in the motorsport community.

As AC Nurden Quality Builders continues to flourish, Andy ensures its core remains true. Traditional methods intertwined with innovation define the company’s essence, preserving both architectural marvels and the family heritage.

Traditional Building

AC Nurden Quality Builders stands as a paragon in the field, excelling in our work through a harmonious blend of time-honoured craftsmanship and contemporary ingenuity.

The Cotswolds, renowned for their architectural history and natural beauty, offer a captivating backdrop to our craftsmanship.

Nestled in the heart of England, this region boasts a history that spans centuries, characterized by its charming villages, honey-hued cottages, and rolling hills. The architectural evolution of the Cotswolds reflects transitions from Medieval to Tudor, Georgian to Victorian, creating a tapestry of styles that coexist harmoniously.

Our work and use of locally sourced materials is not just construction; it’s a homage and continuation of the legacy woven into the very fabric of this picturesque landscape.

From sturdy dry-stone walls that reflect the age-old artistry of the region to the meticulously hand-carved, aged oak beams that bear witness to our commitment and authenticity, we intertwine history with innovation.

In our pursuit of excellence, we extend our appreciation for traditional crafts to the realm of more contemporary material selections, design concepts, and construction techniques.

We embrace modern advancements that enhance energy efficiency and structural integrity without compromising timeless aesthetics by nestling them within the timber frames and stone walls we create.

This balance allows us to deliver not only unrivalled functionality but also to retain the innate beauty and allure of the structure, as evidenced by our long list of prestigious awards including the LABC Excellence Award and RCI Pitched Roofing Award.
