Sussex Construction

The philosophy at Sussex Cabinetry & Construction is “to design a house around a family is to design a home”. We specialize in efficient, innovative custom homes. We prefer to concentrate on the details, not the square footage. Rather than having a huge, sprawling house, with stock trims and cabinets and wasted or extravagant spaces, our interest is in ergonomic designs that suffice the dwellers needs and habits efficiently and eloquently. We custom design trims, cabinets and details. Frankly, we are not interested in houses built quickly, dispassionately, and plainly for nobody in particular. A necessity need not be drab, dull and characterless. We are passionate about helping people realize that their beautiful dream homes can reflect their own personal tastes, lifestyle and flair.

Ron was raised with a strong work ethic, and was born with a natural ability and fascination for creating things. His first construction experiences were with his father, then later in Bozeman to help pay his way through college. A degree in business management took him to the former Soviet Union with the Peace Corps, directly after graduation. After serving his full term, he traveled the world extensively. Enlightened and inspired by his experience he returned to his homeland, Helena, Montana in 1995.

Ron resumed his beloved trade as soon as he returned home. He named his company “Sussex” after the region his European wife, Rebekka Cantrell, comes from.

Rebekka is greatlyinvolved in the company, too. Her background in art and gardening gives her home designs interest and freshness. Rebekka is a passionate gardener and believes the landscaping around a house is paramount to achieving a true home. She owes her extensive gardening knowledge to both her parents who keep a spectacular garden in England, and a local landscape nursery, where she worked joyfully for her first three and a half years in the States.
