Create your dream home from the ground up with a new build in Shirley
Shirley grew from a rural Warwickshire settlement into a 20th-century commuter suburb, and most of the area was built up during the 1930s. That history shapes what new build opportunities look like here today — they tend to come up on larger suburban gardens or parcels within the established interwar street pattern, rather than as standalone plots on bare land.
HK Builders Ltd is FMB-registered with over 20 years' experience, and unlike Birmingham's inner suburbs, Shirley falls under Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council for planning, so we handle applications and building regulations with the borough's own local plan in mind, which supports Solihull's continued growth as what the council describes as “a town in the country.” From there we manage design, construction, interior finishing and handover as a single project.
We've delivered new builds in Shirley ranging from contemporary open-plan homes to houses that sit more traditionally within the surrounding 1930s street pattern. Materials, layout and finish are chosen to suit both the client and the plot, using trusted suppliers and skilled tradespeople throughout.
If you're planning a new build on a larger garden plot in Shirley, HK Builders Ltd can manage the Solihull planning process alongside the build itself, from groundworks to the final finish.
Designed Around Your Lifestyle in Shirley
Building on a larger suburban garden plot in Shirley gives you more room to plan than a typical infill site, and we design around that from the outset — working out how the new house should sit on the parcel, how it faces the garden, and where parking and access need to go within the existing interwar street pattern.
From there we build out the floor plan in detail: open-plan living, a home office, extra bedrooms, or a deliberate mix of modern and more traditional finishes to suit the surrounding 1930s houses. The result is a new build in Shirley designed around your family's day-to-day needs, not a generic layout dropped onto the plot.
Quality Construction from Start to Finish
Building within an established 1930s street pattern means working carefully around existing boundaries, mature gardens and neighbouring driveways, and we plan logistics for that from day one. Trusted suppliers and experienced tradespeople carry out each stage, from groundworks and structure through to first and second fix.
We keep to agreed timelines and budgets, with regular updates so you know exactly how the project is progressing against the Solihull MBC-approved plans. Every stage is checked against current building regulations before we move on.
When your new build in Shirley is complete, it's ready to move straight into — a home that suits the plot, suits your family, and has been finished with the same attention to detail throughout.

Yes, almost all new build homes require full planning permission from the local council before construction can start. The application typically includes site plans, architectural drawings and the relevant fees, and once approved the build must also meet building regulations covering structure, energy efficiency and safety. We can help prepare the plans and guide you through planning and approval for a Shirley new build.
A new build typically takes 12 to 18 months from initial planning to completion. Design and planning usually takes around 3 to 4 months, with planning permission normally decided within 8 to 12 weeks, followed by 6 to 12 months of construction depending on the size and complexity of the build. We manage the programme closely to keep your Shirley project on schedule.
Our new build service covers groundworks, structural build, roofing, first and second fix, and coordination of the trades needed to take a project from foundations to a finished home. We work with you throughout the design and planning process as well as during construction to keep the Shirley project aligned with your vision.
