Bespoke homes

From a plot and an idea, or drawings ready to build.

A bespoke home in St Brides-super-Ely starts with the plot, not a product range. We can join at the very beginning — a site, a sketch, an intention — and bring in the architects, structural engineers and planning consultants we trust, or we can take a finished drawing package and build it exactly as designed. Either way, the same team carries the project from the first excavation through structure, internals, external works and handover, so nothing is lost between trades.

Groundworks & civils

In-house, on our own plant.

Everything we build sits on ground we have prepared ourselves. In and around St Brides-super-Ely, our in-house groundworks team delivers site strip, foundations, land drainage, SAB and SuDS-compliant surface water infrastructure, retaining works and finished external levels — on our own plant, managed by our own site managers.

Common questions

Questions about building in St Brides-super-Ely

Do you build bespoke new homes in St Brides-super-Ely?
Yes. We serve St Brides-super-Ely and the surrounding CF5 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 St Brides-super-Ely 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 St Brides-super-Ely, we regularly work across Peterston-super-Ely, St Nicholas, Llandaff, Bonvilston and Creigiau 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.
