Building in Raglan
Bespoke homes in Raglan and the surrounding NP15 area
Raglan's castle, rolling farmland and position on the A40 make it one of Monmouthshire's best-known villages, and the rural property around it — farmhouses, barns and country plots — suits builders who understand traditional settings as well as modern construction. Jac Jones Construction serves Raglan and the surrounding NP15 areas with bespoke homes and high-quality work on rural properties.
Rural property work around Raglan ranges from complete new homes on farm-edge plots to deep renovation of buildings that deserve to be kept. We carry both in-house: groundworks and structure from our own team, and a finish standard set by our bespoke new builds.

Bespoke homes
From a plot and an idea, or drawings ready to build.
The difference between a bespoke home and an expensive one is usually the ground and the detail. Around Raglan, we handle both in-house: our groundworks division prepares the site, our build team delivers the structure and envelope, and the internal finishes are completed by trades we have worked with for years. You deal with one company, one programme and one person who answers the phone.
Groundworks & civils
In-house, on our own plant.
The part of a project most likely to go wrong is the part in the ground. Because our groundworks and civils capability is in-house — excavators, dumpers, rollers and the people to run them — Raglan projects get foundations, drainage, reinforced concrete and retaining structures built by the same company accountable for everything above them.

Common questions
Questions about building in Raglan
- Do you build bespoke new homes in Raglan?
- Yes. We serve Raglan and the surrounding NP15 area from our base in Blackwood, delivering complete bespoke homes from an idea and a plot, or from a finished drawing package. Groundworks, structure, internals and external works are all handled by one accountable team.
- Can Jac Jones Construction manage a project from design through to completion?
- Yes — design and build is a core part of how we work. We can introduce trusted architects, structural engineers, planning consultants, SAP assessors and drainage specialists, then manage the project through planning, engineering and construction to handover. If you already have a design team, we work alongside them.
- Can you undertake the groundworks as well as the house build?
- Groundworks are delivered in-house on our own plant — excavation, foundations, reinforced concrete, retaining structures, drainage and external works. On constrained or sloping sites around Raglan this is often the difference between a smooth build and an expensive one.
- What information do you need to price a bespoke new build?
- Ideally a drawing package, but a plot and a clear idea are enough to start a sensible conversation. We will tell you honestly what stage the project is really at, what it is likely to involve and what we would need to give you a properly itemised price.
- Do you undertake SAB and drainage works as part of a new build?
- Yes. Surface-water drainage for new builds in Wales requires SAB approval, and SuDS features are designed into our schemes from the start. Our groundworks division builds the drainage and attenuation infrastructure as part of the normal package.
- Which surrounding areas do you cover?
- Alongside Raglan, we regularly work across Usk, Monmouth, Abergavenny and Chepstow and the wider South Wales region. Exceptional projects further afield — including Bristol and West Wales — are considered on their merits.
- How early should I contact you before I want construction to begin?
- Earlier than most people think. A conversation at plot-or-idea stage lets us flag ground, access, drainage and budget realities while they are still cheap to solve — but we are equally happy to be brought in with completed drawings ready to price.
