Builders in CoventryExtensions and Renovations Costed Properly
Reliable building contractors providing expert property development and renovation services throughout Coventry.
Building and Construction Services in Coventry
Swift Build Coventry Ltd provides domestic and commercial building services across Coventry from our base at 85 Priory Road, Kenilworth. Coventry’s mix of post-war homes and older properties means each extension or refurbishment needs an approach suited to the building. Recent jobs include work in CV3 and CV5.
Director and project manager Cameron Swift coordinates our in-house carpenter and two skilled labourers alongside a wider network of partner trades. Electrical and gas work is carried out by registered partner trades, such as NICEIC/NAPIT electricians and Gas Safe engineers, rather than certified in-house.
We handle planning applications and manage building control inspections and sign-off. Partner architects and designers can help with plans, or we can price from your own drawings. Our quantity surveyor helps prepare a cost plan so you can understand the proposed scope and budget.
We are FMB members, TrustMark registered and listed on Checkatrade with 54 reviews. Clients receive a contract, programme of works, payment schedule and insurance documents. We hold public and employers’ liability insurance and will always come back to put things right.
From load-bearing wall removal and steel installation to larger extensions and full refurbishments, we can discuss the work needed for your Coventry property. We also take over projects left unfinished by other builders. Contact us for a free site visit and quotation; projects are generally from £5,000 upwards.

Local know-how
Common Building Challenges in Coventry
Navigating the specific conditions of Coventry's geography and building stock requires local knowledge and a professional approach to problem-solving.
Ground Conditions and Foundations
Ground conditions vary by site in Coventry. Extension foundations need appropriate assessment and design rather than assumptions based on the wider area. We coordinate the agreed work with relevant professionals and manage building control inspections.
Assessing Older Properties
Older properties in Coventry can require careful assessment before structural changes or service upgrades. We can discuss a refurbishment or wall removal during a free site visit, with advice from partner professionals where needed.
Planning and Building Control
Planning and building control requirements depend on the property and proposed work. We work with partner architects and designers, handle planning applications and manage building control inspections and sign-off. Any conservation or listed-building requirements need checking for the individual property.
Site Access and Logistics
Access, deliveries, waste removal and the effects of building work on occupants need planning for each site. We discuss these practical arrangements as part of the programme of works, aiming to reduce disruption and keep communication clear.
Coordinating Utility Upgrades
Heating, plumbing and electrical changes need appropriate qualified trades. We coordinate registered partner trades for this work, with gas and electrical certification handled by the relevant registered subcontractors, not by Swift Build in-house.
