Construction Companies in West Midlands

The West Midlands has a strong group of home-grown contractors. The largest we list here, by turnover in their latest accounts, are M.V. Kelly in Solihull, Colas in Birmingham, Barhale in Walsall, Speller Metcalfe in Malvern, Stepnell in Warwickshire and housebuilder Tilia Homes in Solihull.

How they pay

All six file government payment reports, and their average payment times run from 31 to 58 days, against a middle figure of about 30 days across every company on our payment league table. Averages hide a lot, so check each company's page for the share of invoices paid within 30 days and the share paid late.
