"We pride ourselves on not only delivering an exceptional service but also creating a legacy for local people through real employment opportunities, training and investment in social enterprises and local supply chain partners.

Elsewhere in Cardiff, Wates is delivering 292 homes for the council's Cardiff Living house building programme, which will see 1,500 homes built across 40 sites.
