Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Solihull we start by measuring every room and checking Solihull Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.

Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.
