Rise Construction Cardiff Ltd

Rise Construction Cardiff Ltd, building contractors in Cardiff and South Wales

Rise Construction Cardiff Ltd is a local building company based in Cardiff that works on residential and commercial projects in Cardiff and South Wales. Established in 2022, it has a team of skilled tradespeople and presents itself as a trusted contractor in its operating area. The company states it maintains a strong commitment to health and safety, regularly reviewing and updating its working practices to align with industry regulations and standards.

Its approach, as explained by one of its co-directors, Jon Sainsbury, is based on the fact that building preferences vary across Cardiff and South Wales, so it adapts solutions to local tastes for each project.

Building and renovation services

The company covers both residential and commercial work, from house extensions to commercial renovations. Its team is led by professionals who are specialists in their respective trades and works in collaboration with established architects. The services it details are:

• House extensions: single storey, double storey and wraparounds.
• Loft conversions: aimed at gaining living space and increasing property value.
• Garage conversions: full project management, with coordination of trades, budget control and adherence to deadlines.
• Bathroom fitting: carried out by its own plumbers.
• Bespoke joinery: solutions to improve home storage.
• Landscaping: with materials from British suppliers.

Working method

The process described by the company is structured in four phases. It begins with an initial consultation visit, in person or by phone, to define the goals and requirements of the property and assess the feasibility of the project according to building control regulations and the budget. It then prepares a quotation, open to revisions and different scenarios when there is uncertainty about specific phases, such as budget constraints, funding availability or planning permission. Once the quotation is accepted and the start date agreed, project preparation begins, with materials delivered as needed to minimise disruption to the home or business, and with a commitment to leaving the site clean. The process concludes with a final review to check that the work meets the expected standard, address queries and make minor adjustments.

Accreditations and awards

The company details several industry credentials. In September 2025 it was accepted into the Partner Authority Scheme of Local Authority Building Control (LABC), which gives it access to training, technical guidance and industry support, as well as a dedicated account manager through Cardiff Council building control to streamline regulatory compliance. It is also registered with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), with an assigned levy number, which allows it to offer training opportunities to its staff. On Houzz it is listed among the top 15 builders and design and build companies in Cardiff, received the Best of Houzz 2024 award and maintains community recommendation.
