One East Side
Birmingham City Centre
Court Collaboration set out to deliver a landmark residential development in Birmingham city centre — One East Side — comprising two towers, including one that rises to 51 storeys. When complete, it will be one of the tallest habitable buildings in the city. The development will deliver 667 high-quality homes and a wide range of resident amenities, including co-working spaces, gyms, a cinema, and Birmingham’s highest sky lounge and terrace. Landscaped gardens and courtyard spaces have also been designed to support wellbeing and community.
Baily Garner was appointed to provide Quality Control Inspections (QCI) and Building Services Engineering for this ambitious project. Our remit includes supporting site inspections throughout the build, reviewing programme progress, monitoring quality, and undertaking key benchmarking stages — including dry and wet benchmarks and final snagging inspections. We also take an active role in checking the golden thread of information, ensuring documentation and compliance are properly tracked and managed.
Our experience in complex, high-rise urban projects has allowed us to offer practical, proactive advice to both the client and delivery teams. Our presence has helped foster strong collaboration across the project, maintain high standards of construction, and keep the development on track for successful delivery.
To deliver high-quality residential towers in a constrained city centre location, ensuring consistent quality control and building services compliance on one of Birmingham’s tallest buildings.
Baily Garner provided QCI and Building Services Engineering, supporting the client and contractor with expert inspections, benchmarking, programme reviews, and collaborative guidance throughout the build.
Although still in progress, the project has already elevated Baily Garner’s profile in the Midlands residential sector. Our contributions have supported a high-performing delivery team and helped the client realise their bold vision. On the strength of our work at One East Side, we have since been appointed to a further 49-storey project at Brindley Place — reinforcing our role in shaping Birmingham’s skyline.
