en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK-based SJ Roberts Construction has been awarded two contracts totalling £7 million from Powys County Council to build 34 social homes in Welshpool and Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant. These highly insulated, energy-efficient homes will support the council's plans to increase the supply of high-quality affordable housing.

In Welshpool, 16 bungalows will be built on the former site of the Welsh Nursery and Primary School at the Old Gungrog Church. In Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, a mixed development of 18 social homes comprising houses, bungalows and apartments will be constructed on land west of Maes yr Esgob to meet the diverse local housing needs. Construction is expected to commence this summer, with completion by the end of 2027.

SJ Roberts Construction Managing Director Mike Sambrook said: "We are proud to be working with Powys County Council again, having earlier this year secured a contract for a special educational needs school in Kerry. These developments represent a significant investment in local communities, providing high-quality, energy-efficient homes that will benefit residents for generations. As a business rooted in the region, it is rewarding to be involved in projects that improve people's lives and support the local supply chain."

Councillor Matthew Dorrance, Deputy Leader of Powys County Council, said: "Tackling the housing emergency is a top priority for the council, and building high-quality, highly insulated, energy-efficient social housing is central to our work. These developments represent a major investment by the council and will provide safe, affordable social housing for those who need it most. We are delighted to be working with SJ Roberts Construction and look forward to seeing the projects progress in the coming months."
