Old House

The Old House Group of Companies has continued its planned expansion since consolidating its operations into our new headquarters, three years ago.  The Company was established over 30 years ago in Coleshill, where it has remained in family ownership, now having outgrown several offices - necessitating the most recent move to Gorsey Lane .  The situation is ideal, centrally located in the Midlands , and within easy access to Birmingham Airport , the NEC and Birmingham City Centre.   We are within 5 minutes of both the M6 and M42, facilitating easy access to all parts of the country.  We operate primarily in the East and West Midlands area, but also undertake contracts in the North-West and other parts of the U.K.

The Group has continued its planned expansion in the year to April 05, with turnover expanding some 22%.    For the current year, we anticipate turnover achieving £100m, with healthy order books across the whole Group of Companies.

The constituent Companies within the Group cover a wide sphere of activities within the construction sector.   Our expertise encompasses a “one-stop shop” of activities:- demolition and ground remediation, civil engineering, railwork, bridges, design and build for a wide range of Clients.  A significant proportion of our work now emanates from developing for the Social/Affordable housing sector.  Our capabilities include land acquisition, planning, design, project management and construction.

Our Group structure and ethos is focussed on providing key ingredients to the management teams of the operating Companies, allowing them to benefit from economies of scale and breadth of expertise, whilst fostering and supporting a real sense of ownership, reward and job satisfaction.  Our job is to help our Companies save overheads, nurture a sense of ownership, provide financial support and reward, and to help develop forward thinking strategic decisions.

The Group is very proactive in recruitment, and in particular in developing the next generation of skilled construction and commercial staff, in which area we offer apprenticeships and management trainee schemes (see our Recruitment page).
