What a Thorough Job Involves
The affluent suburban setting and high proportion of larger detached and semi-detached properties in the B91 area means building extensions here tend towards more substantial and higher-specification projects, and the town's high property values make investment in a quality, architect-designed extension particularly worthwhile.
The area is a town in West Midlands, administered by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. The postcode districts covering the area are B90, B91, B92, B93. Nearby areas include Birmingham, Coventry, Redditch, Meriden. Single-storey rear extensions within permitted development limits do not require a planning application — your builder should confirm the PD position for your specific property before design work begins.

Solihull's property market is among the strongest in the West Midlands, and extension investment in the better residential areas delivers strong returns. A 20 square metre single-storey rear extension here typically costs £38,000–£57,000 — above the West Midlands average, reflecting the premium specification expected in this market. Getting three itemised quotes from contractors who have visited the site and who can demonstrate experience in similar high-quality residential work is the right approach.
