Who is Solid Build?

We’re a UK-registered studio of architects and structural engineers with one foot in the arts and the other firmly in engineering. A hybrid crew who design with curiosity, test with rigour, and care deeply about how things are made.

We bring creative intelligence to every concept and a craftsperson’s obsession to every beam, junction, and detail. Our passion is architecture that performs — visually, technically, and environmentally — built to thrive in the UK’s climate, culture, and constraints.

Why our background matters

An artistic eye
Training in the arts and architecture sharpens our instinct for proportion, light, texture, and composition. The result? Spaces that feel right the moment you step inside.

Engineering confidence
Our structural expertise means ideas don’t get watered down later. We design boldly, then make it stand up — safely, efficiently, and without aesthetic compromise.

What do we bring to the Built Environment?

Planning Made Easy

We simplify the planning process with clear guidance, well-prepared applications and expert knowledge of local authority requirements.

Detail-Driven Delivery

We combine creative design with technical precision, ensuring every stage of the project is carefully considered and clearly resolved.

Collaborative Approach

We work closely with clients, consultants and contractors to deliver practical, well-coordinated solutions from concept through to completion.

Context-led Design

We create thoughtful architecture that responds to its surroundings, respecting the character, history and setting of each site.

Climate-responsive Thinking

We design with climate in mind, using orientation, daylight, ventilation and material choices to create comfortable, energy-efficient spaces.

Resilient Structures

Whether refining an existing building or starting fresh, we engineer solutions that age well, perform quietly, and demand less from future maintenance.

Who do we help?

Helping homeowners, developers, landowners, and commercial clients across Birmingham and the UK. We are experts in extensions, planning, structural engineering, and development solutions.
