Caddick Construction – Stone Yard

Requirement

Caddick Construction required a large-scale, high-quality accommodation solution to support the delivery of the Stone Yard development in Digbeth, part of a major regeneration scheme backed by Moda Group.

As the project progressed, the site team expanded significantly, increasing from around 20 to 35–40 personnel. This growth required a phased accommodation strategy, allowing additional capacity to be introduced partway through the programme without disrupting live site operations.

The solution also needed to incorporate multi-storey accommodation, provide a professional working environment, and include bespoke features such as a viewing platform to oversee site progress.

Project name: Stone Yard
Location: Digbeth, Birmingham
Sector: Residential Construction
Client: Caddick Construction
Accommodation Type: AVflex
Number of Modules: Phase 1: 32 bays Phase 2: 14 bays 2 x 4-storey staircases 1 x third-floor walkway

Solution

Wernick Hire delivered a two-phase AVflex modular complex, designed to evolve alongside the project’s requirements.

Phase 1 provided an initial 32-bay setup to support early-stage operations
Phase 2 introduced a further 14 bays, expanding capacity to accommodate the growing site team

The accommodation was designed as a four-storey modular building, featuring a central staircase connecting both phases, ensuring seamless movement between areas for both the main contractor and subcontractors.

A standout feature of the project was the third-floor walkway, linking to a large conference room and viewing platform, offering a practical space for meetings while overlooking the construction site.

Internally, the building was configured to provide a full range of site facilities, including offices, canteens, drying rooms, and toilet facilities, all delivered in line with project drawings. Externally, the complex was finished in Caddick’s corporate livery, creating a strong and professional on-site presence.

The project was carefully coordinated and delivered by Wernick’s Aldridge depot, with installation supported by specialist teams and logistics partners. Despite the complexity of a live site and phased delivery, the project was executed smoothly and to a high standard throughout.

The service from Wernick has been fantastic from start to finish. The quality of the accommodation across both phases has been excellent, and the team delivered exactly what we needed. We’d have no hesitation in recommending Wernick Hire.
