About Us
A family-run building company with family values at its core — serving Essex and North London since 2009.
JB Building
Projects Ltd
JB Building Projects Ltd is a family-run construction company based in Essex, specialising in garage conversions, home extensions, refurbishments, and structural steelwork across Essex and North London.
Founded on the belief that every family deserves a home that truly works for them, we've spent over 15 years transforming underused spaces into beautiful, functional rooms that families actually live in — playrooms, home offices, extra bedrooms, and open-plan living spaces.
We're not a large faceless contractor. We're a tight-knit team of skilled tradespeople who take genuine pride in every project we complete. From the first site visit to the final handover, you deal directly with us — no middlemen, no subcontracted strangers, no surprises.

Meet James Benton, of JB Building Projects Ltd
James Benton
Director, JB Building Projects Ltd
"Before I'm a builder, I'm a dad. Family is everything to me — and that shapes every single project I take on. I want to create spaces that are safe, warm, and full of life for the families who live in them."
James Benton is the director, founder, and driving force behind JB Building Projects Ltd. A qualified builder and carpenter with over 15 years of hands-on experience, James started the company with a simple mission: to deliver the kind of quality and honesty he'd want for his own family's home.
As a father himself, James understands what it means to need more space — and what it means to trust a tradesperson in your home. That's why he insists on being personally involved in every project, from the initial survey right through to the final walkthrough.
James and his team have completed over 100 projects across Essex and North London — from single garage conversions to full home extensions — and every one of them has been built with the same care and attention to detail he'd give his own home.
