testimonials

NR Hunt Ltd were fantastic on our difficult building project. The work required was extensive, as we needed a complete renovation on the existing house including a loft conversion. One of the most challenging aspects was an 18 metres glass link extension from the main house to a cottage, which also needed underpinning and complete restructuring. The outside then needed terracing with small stone/slate walls to level the areas and pull the different features together so that the overall effect was a seamless blend. All this was achieved through excellent attention to detail combined with faultless craftsmanship, not only in all the building works but on the internal carpentry and tiling finishes. We would highly recommend Adam and his team with enthusiasm and without reservation.

Adam and team completed a complicated extension for us along with a conversion of our garage into ancillary accommodation and did a fantastic job. I couldn't recommend the firm more highly, their attention to detail, skill, creative input and respect for our house and family were all of the highest order but above all else where Adam excels is in his communication, you know where you stand, how things are going and you get quick answers to any questions you have. A trustworthy and skilled builder who I'd recommend to anyone!

I have known and worked closely with Adam Hunt and previously his father Nick for many years in my role as an Architect based in Newton Abbot. I have always found Adam to be a good and meticulous builder with an excellent appreciation of design matters and a good attention to detail. I would recommend him highly to any prospective client.

Jeremy Newcombe RIBA

Formerly principal of LSN Architects

We've been lucky enough to have building contractors Adam Hunt and his team from NR Hunt undertake renovation work at our home in Christow.  We used Adam following work he undertook at my parents home, both he and my folks were really pleased with his work, his professionalism, care and attention.  Adam completed work at our own property in 2023 including renovation work on our house, extensive landscaping works and construction of a garage and separate bike store. Adam values the relationship with his client as much as he prides himself in the quality of his work.  He won't be happy unless the client is happy and has been extremely patient with us as a client while we refine our own expectations, while also drawing on Adam's exceptional vision for design.  Our project adapted as we learned from Adam, and the final finish exceeded our original vision.  Adams' team are a joy to have around the house, they are respectful and polite, but also share his values.  While it was nice to have a finished project, it was a little sad to see them leave!My wife and I would recommend Adam and his team in a heartbeat.

As an architect, I am delighted to recommend Adam and his team, who have worked on projects for my clients across Teignbridge, Dartmoor, and Torbay. Adam has consistently demonstrated remarkable talent and the ability to seemingly master any trade; his perfectionism, attention to detail, and keen design eye set him apart and are reflected in the outstanding quality of work delivered. I have found his commitment to customer satisfaction to be exceptional, with great aftercare and responsiveness even after project completion, and am reassured that my clients are in good hands. I would highly recommend Adam and his team for anyone seeking high-quality, professional building work of just about any scale

We recently had the pleasure of working with NR Hunt Ltd on our substantial home renovation, and the experience was outstanding. From start to finish they demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism. The team was always punctual, courteous, and kept us informed at every stage of the project. The quality of work exceeded our expectations, and the finished result is simply stunning. We couldn't be happier with our new space and highly recommend NR Hunt Ltd to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled building contractor for their next project.

We sought to renovate our 1980s home and were recommended NR Hunt LTD by our neighbours. From our first meeting, Adam put us at ease, offering innovative ideas and providing guidance on what was possible. Throughout the project, they kept us informed and showed exceptional flexibility with our requests. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding. Thanks to Adam and his team, our house has been transformed into our dream home. We highly recommend NR Hunt LTD for their professionalism and quality of service.

We are delighted with the work carried by Adam and his team. This was a huge project, completely rebuilding and redesigning our house. They brought a lot  of skill and experience, communicating with us at every stage to help create our dream home finished to an amazingly high standard, combining zinc, stone, slate and cedar seemlessly. We would highly recommend Adam for any project.

Adam was recommended as a high quality builder by many local contacts, so when an opportunity to purchase a plot of land with lapsed outline planning approval for one new build house presented he was an invaluable source of knowledge on the feasibility and value for money of the project. He recommended a firm of local architects which he and his father (a recently retired Master Builder) had used over the years which enabled me to meet a very talented young architect who negotiated the tortuous path to obtaining full planning permission which eventually resulted in a chalet bungalow which won an award for design and build quality. Throughout the project Adam demonstrated an understanding of what the architect and I sought to achieve contributing on numerous occasions to the ultimate design of the finished build. Adam project managed the whole build successfully sourcing materials during the extremely difficult Covid pandemic and reported progress and submitted detailed accounts of work completed at our monthly site meetings with the architect. His integrity is of the highest order. I think the architect’s assessment of Adam is illuminating in describing him as the most knowledgeable builder he had worked with in fifteen years in the profession with the additional quality of having the capability of performing the varied construction skills to an exceptional quality himself. This resulted in subcontractors being held to a very high standard. I have no hesitation in highly recommending him.
