For larger builds, it works with Zenith Security to provide private, tailored security services, including onsite security. It has worked for companies including BAWSO Ltd, Ridgeway Property Management Services Ltd (Sweden), Paramount Estates (London), Mountside Estates (London), and Hyber Properties Ltd (London). It undertakes all aspects of building work and specialises in extensions, loft conversions, and refurbishments.

Building work in Cardiff carried out by Dragon Construction Ltd spans loft conversions, partition stud walls, electrical work and plastering, according to the accounts gathered on this profile. The standard of workmanship is the theme that recurs most often, with the finish described as excellent across structural, electrical and plastering elements of the same project. Reliability is a further point that comes up often, since the team is said to have arrived promptly each morning and worked steadily to meet tight deadlines, even where parking and access were difficult.

Tidiness is praised repeatedly, the crew clearing away thoroughly at the end of every day, a detail noted during a loft conversion when an old ceiling was taken down. Reviewers also describe pricing as fair and competitive, with quotes comparing well against considerably higher alternatives, and jobs completed within the period originally agreed. Communication is reported as clear before and during the work, and a slight misunderstanding that arose was resolved professionally. The friendliness and politeness of the workers are singled out, with the same tradespeople said to listen carefully to what the household wanted and to deliver a strong finish throughout.
