Bespoke Construction Services in Solihull
Solihull’s housing includes period properties and more modern homes, each with different considerations for an extension or refurbishment. Swift Build Coventry Ltd serves Solihull from 85 Priory Road, Kenilworth, with director and project manager Cameron Swift coordinating the work.
Our in-house team is Cameron, one carpenter and two skilled labourers. We work with a wider network of partner architects, designers, a quantity surveyor and registered partner trades. Recent jobs include work in B93; we can discuss your own property and requirements during a free site visit.
We handle planning applications and manage building control inspections and sign-off. Clients receive a contract, programme of works, payment schedule and insurance documents, helping set out the agreed scope and payment arrangements before the build.
We are members of the Federation of Master Builders and are TrustMark registered. We hold public and employers’ liability insurance. Our approach is based on clear communication and coordination between the in-house team and partner trades.

Local know-how
Building Considerations in Solihull
Constructing in Solihull involves specific environmental, planning, and architectural challenges that require a professional and knowledgeable approach.
Ground Conditions and Foundations
Ground conditions vary by site in Solihull. 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 Solihull 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.
