Our Work Around Solihull
New build projects in Solihull include single detached homes on infill plots within existing residential areas, replacement dwellings where an older property is demolished to make way for a modern design, and self-build homes on larger rural or edge-of-town sites. Typical specifications include underfloor heating throughout, high-performance glazing, air-source heat pumps or ground-source heating, and modern insulation standards well above minimum building regulations. We build with traditional masonry, timber frame or a combination depending on design requirements and site constraints. Site access, temporary services, material storage and neighbour relations are all managed carefully, particularly on constrained plots within established Solihull streets.
