Excellence in Construction for Knowle and the B93 Area
Knowle has a mix of traditional and modern homes, with different considerations for each extension or refurbishment. Based at 85 Priory Road, Kenilworth CV8 1LQ, Swift Build Coventry Ltd offers free site visits to discuss your plans and the requirements of your property.

Local know-how
Planning Building Work in Knowle
Every property is different. These are some considerations to discuss when planning an extension or refurbishment.
Ground Conditions and Foundations
Ground conditions vary between sites. Clay, groundwater and nearby trees may affect the design of an extension. Requirements should be assessed for the individual property, with advice from appropriate partner professionals where needed; we include the agreed scope in the project planning and cost discussions.
Planning and Property Character
Conservation area status, listed status and Green Belt restrictions can affect proposed works where applicable. Requirements need to be checked for the individual property. We work with partner architects and designers on plans and handle planning applications, without promising approval.
Site Access and Deliveries
Narrow access, limited parking and nearby traffic can complicate a build. We discuss access and delivery arrangements during project planning and aim to reduce disruption to neighbours.
Existing Building Condition
Older properties can reveal issues during a refurbishment that are not visible at the first visit. We discuss findings and any proposed changes to scope, costs or programme with you, seeking advice from appropriate partner professionals where needed.
Plumbing, Gas and Electrical Work
An extension or refurbishment may need changes to existing services. We coordinate registered plumbers and registered partner trades for gas and electrical work, including Gas Safe engineers and NICEIC/NAPIT electricians as appropriate.
