Your dream home, delivered
Built on Craftsmanship.
Built on Trust.
We're a family-run building company based just outside Salisbury, with over 60 years of combined experience across our team. From new builds and bespoke joinery to renovations and extensions, we work with homeowners, architects, and developers who expect more than a finished building. They expect care, detail, and a builder they can genuinely rely on.
We're proud to be local. Every project we take on is in Wiltshire and the surrounding area, and every client we work with gets the same thing: honest pricing, a named point of contact from start to finish, and a team that takes real pride in the work long after we've left the site.
Work With Us
The homes we build matter deeply to the people who live in them, and to the architects and professionals who help create them. Whether you're planning something personal or something professional, our approach is the same.
Exceptional quality. Complete transparency.
A team you can trust.

Built on Trust
James Burton Construction was built on relationships. With clients who trusted us with their homes. With tradespeople who took pride in their craft. With a community we've been part of for years. We're not a large firm and we have no desire to be one. What we want is to keep doing what we've always done: building beautiful homes across Wiltshire, looking after the people we work for, and leaving every project in better shape than we found it.
Work With Us
Behind every well-built home is a team that listens, plans carefully, and delivers without drama. Whether your project is personal or professional, we'll guide you through every stage, from first conversation to final handover.
