30 Second Briefing
Caddick Construction is tripling its Birmingham office footprint from 900 sq ft to 2,590 sq ft at Northspring, boosting desk capacity by 80% and adding a third meeting room to support a Midlands team that has grown from 10 to more than 75 staff since 2023. The contractor now holds a £300m forward order book with a £1bn target pipeline, anchored by schemes such as Cole Waterhouse’s £43m Upper Trinity Street regeneration in Digbeth and the adjacent Stone Yard project. Current workload also includes a £28m urban logistics scheme at Foundry Business Park, Wolverhampton, and Delamere Health’s £20m addiction clinic on the former Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue HQ site in Bestwood.
Technical Brief
- Forward order book of £300m after only two years’ operation in the Midlands.
- Target project pipeline of £1bn indicates substantial upcoming regional workload and bidding activity.
- Upper Trinity Street regeneration in Digbeth valued at £43m for client Cole Waterhouse.
- Adjacent Stone Yard scheme delivered for Moda Living and Aviva Capital, forming a combined Digbeth cluster.
- Foundry Business Park urban logistics project in Wolverhampton carries a £28m construction value.
- Delamere Health addiction clinic redevelopment on former Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue HQ site totals £20m.
- Rapid scaling of regional capacity implies increased demand for local supply chains, subcontractors and design consultants.
Our Take
The mix of schemes tied to this Midlands expansion – urban logistics at Foundry Business Park in Wolverhampton, regeneration at Upper Trinity Street in Digbeth, and healthcare at Delamere Health in Bestwood – mirrors the broad social-infrastructure and residential pipeline seen in other recent Caddick wins, which tends to give contractors more resilience across economic cycles.
With headcount in the Birmingham office rising from around 10 to more than 75 in roughly two years, Caddick’s growth rate in the Midlands is notably sharper than that implied in most contractor regional-office stories in our 802-piece Infrastructure corpus, suggesting it is positioning this hub as a primary delivery centre rather than a satellite outpost.
