Built for the UK's second city and the wider West Midlands
Birmingham is in the middle of the UK's biggest urban transformation. The HS2 Curzon Street station, the Smithfield mixed-use development, the regeneration of Digbeth, and billions of pounds of infrastructure investment are reshaping the city. For tradespeople across the West Midlands, this means unprecedented demand — not just for commercial construction, but for the residential work that follows as property values climb and homeowners invest in improvements to their homes.
The Birmingham housing stock is diverse. The city's iconic 1930s semi-detached houses — particularly prevalent in suburbs like Hall Green, Acocks Green, Kings Heath, and Erdington — drive a constant stream of extension work, with rear and side return extensions being the most popular projects. In more affluent areas like Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Edgbaston, and Harborne, homeowners invest in high-end renovations, kitchen installations, and loft conversions. Meanwhile, the active buy-to-let market across areas like Selly Oak, Bournville, and Aston creates demand for full property refurbishments, HMO conversions, and compliance upgrades including fire alarm installations and electrical testing.
Birmingham tradespeople face growing competition from both local firms and contractors drawn in by the city's construction boom. Homeowners use platforms like Bark, MyBuilder, and Checkatrade to gather multiple quotes, and the tradesperson who sends a professional, detailed proposal fastest has a clear advantage. QuoteSmith gives you that edge — generate a branded PDF proposal on your phone immediately after a site visit, complete with itemised costings, a detailed scope of work, and professional terms and conditions that build client confidence.

Birmingham builder day rates typically range from £180 to £280 per day. Specialist trades and those working in affluent suburbs like Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, and Edgbaston may charge higher rates. The West Midlands generally offers competitive pricing compared to London, but rates have been rising due to the city's regeneration programme.
The most in-demand work includes house extensions on 1930s semi-detached houses, kitchen and bathroom renovations, loft conversions, full house refurbishments for buy-to-let investors, and commercial fit-outs linked to the city's regeneration. There is also strong demand for heating upgrades and energy efficiency improvements.
Birmingham's massive regeneration programme has created significant demand for skilled tradespeople. While much of this is large-scale commercial work, it has a trickle-down effect on residential trades as housing values rise and homeowners invest more in property improvements across surrounding areas.
