Building in Barry
New builds in Barry and the surrounding CF62–CF63 area
Barry's regeneration has made it one of the most active building markets in the Vale — new homes on regenerated plots, extensions to its solid housing stock, and increasingly, pools and garden projects on its larger coastal-side properties. Jac Jones Construction serves Barry and the surrounding CF62 and CF63 areas with new builds, swimming-pool construction and complete in-house groundworks.
Barry's ground varies from made ground near the docks to sloping plots above the coast, and each asks something different of foundations and drainage. Our groundworks division reads and builds for the actual site, rather than pricing a guess.

Bespoke homes
From a plot and an idea, or drawings ready to build.
We build bespoke homes in and around Barry the way we build our own developments — because we have been the developer as well as the contractor. That means honest appraisal of the plot and the budget before anyone breaks ground, engineering resolved on paper rather than on site, and one line of responsibility from concept to keys. If you already have an architect, we work alongside them; if you do not, we introduce practices we have delivered with for years.
Swimming pools
Pools built as part of the project, not after it.
Indoor or outdoor, a pool near Barry needs the same things: properly engineered groundworks, a reinforced shell built to last and finishes that survive the chemistry. We deliver the complete package in-house, from the dig and the shell through tiling, plant and the terrace or pool hall around it.
Groundworks & civils
In-house, on our own plant.
From tight garden excavations to 8-tonne machines on open plots, our groundworks division covers the full package around Barry: excavation and muck shift, foundations and reinforced slabs, drainage and SAB/SuDS works, retaining structures, driveways and finished landscaping levels. One team, one programme, no subcontractor gaps.

Common questions
Questions about building in Barry
- Do you build bespoke new homes in Barry?
- Yes. We serve Barry and the surrounding CF62–CF63 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 Barry this is often the difference between a smooth build and an expensive one.
- Do you build indoor and outdoor swimming pools in Barry?
- Yes. We construct reinforced pool shells, plant areas, enclosures and surrounds as part of the main build or as a dedicated project, so the pool is engineered with the house and the ground rather than treated as an afterthought.
- 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 Barry, we regularly work across Rhoose, Sully, Llandough, Dinas Powys and Llantwit Major 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.
