Creating bustling neighbourhoods by providing much-needed housing - Perry Barr Residential Scheme

Willmott Dixon played a vital role in the revitalisation of Perry Barr in Birmingham, harnessing new technology and modern methods of construction to accelerate the delivery of more than 400 new apartments. The vision for Perry Barr was to create a neighbourhood bustling with new activities and vibrancy, supported by much-needed housing – some 5,000 homes within the next two decades. Working with Lendlease – which managed the construction of 968 homes across the site – we delivered plots 8 and 9, creating 430 new apartments for the city council, as part of the Perry Barr Residential Scheme (PBRS). From the start, modern methods of construction (MMC) were a key element of the apartment buildings, which feature light-gauge steel frames, brick slip facades and almost 700 bathroom pods. By adopting more standard configurations and manufacturing approaches, our team was able to design the scheme in just 13 weeks, where it might have taken two years for a more traditional build.
