David Morgan, Managing Director of Wates Living Space, said: "Being appointed to this framework is of strategic importance to our business, and we are fully committed to making a positive social and economic impact on the local communities and surrounding areas in which we will be working.
"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.
"We are very much looking forward to starting works in the New Year and developing our partnership with Cardiff Council to deliver its aspirations for the improvement of housing stock across the city."
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.
