Project overview
The client acquired a well positioned Kings Heath property that had been left largely untouched for decades. The layout worked, but the fabric, services and finishes did not.
Bricksworth was appointed to manage the refurbishment end to end — surveying the property, setting the budget and programme, appointing and sequencing every trade, and holding the standard through to handover.
Scope of works
One point of ownership from initial survey through to final handover.
Trades tendered, sequenced and held to the agreed programme on site.
Kitchen, bathroom, joinery and finishes sourced, priced and delivered to schedule.
A live programme with weekly reporting so slippage is caught early.
Stage inspections and a zero-compromise snagging process before sign-off.
Costs tracked line by line, with every variation agreed before it is spent.
A compliant, finished property with a full record of costs and warranties.

Each space is paired side by side — the property as purchased alongside the completed works. Select any photograph to view it full screen.

Client outcome
Project Meadfoot was delivered without the client attending site to chase trades, price materials or resolve disputes. Progress, costs and decisions were reported weekly, and every variation was agreed in advance.
The completed property presents as a modern, fully serviced family home — improved in value, compliant in specification and ready for immediate occupation or letting.
