Modern building systems Time proven, fully accredited and incredibly efficient. The SIP

building panels that we use are commonplace in the USA, Europe

and becoming an increasingly recognised system in the UK. SIP

panels are a complete structure that is strong, durable, highly

insulative and pre-engineered in factory conditions. This means that

you will have a building that you can feel proud of which facilitates

less waste, is mostly sourced in the UK and is out-performing all

the ‘eco’ requirements that building regulations demand.

Ten year structural warranty At Swift we want to give you peace of mind. This level of cover

is only possible because of our commitment to being the best by

using the best and we very much doubt that you will be calling on

the warranty. If you did, then we wouldn’t begrudge your call, we

would welcome it as an opportunity to show you how much we

valued your satisfaction. We would demonstrate our continued

commitment to your enjoyment of your building.

Multi-use Garden Room, Cheadle, Cheshire

Swift were excited to be able to take on a project that involved so many elements. After finalising the

design and specification, the project was started...

• Demolitionofoldasbestosgarage.

• Removaloftreeandstump.

• Gardenclearanceandinstallationofpadfoundations.

• Excavationoftrenchesforservices.

• Deliveryanderectionofthemainbuilding.

The end result is a beautiful room that is truly multifunctional and a pleasure to use. The office area is

private and practical; the family area is large and luxurious whilst the shower room / WC impresses

everyone. All this is just a few steps from the house, yet it could be in another world!

beautiful design

more family space

When it finally became impossible to delude ourselves any longer that

working from home and having a baby were in any way compatible, we

had some tough decisions to make. Did we look to extend, look to move

somewhere bigger, or think outside the box and attempt to better utilise the

garden? We invited architects, builders and garden room companies to talk

to us about the options . Extending would be the traditional solution, but no

matter how big the resulting house was, I’d still be attempting to work from

the same building in which my baby son was testing his voice... Moving

would have been disruptive, and in the then-current lending deadlock, trying

to sell our current property in order to buy a new place would have been

fraught with difficulty, and I would probably STILL have ended up working

in the same building as my baby son. The room in the garden, though

a relatively novel idea, seemed to solve all the problems.

We talked ideas through with various companies, each of which had a

different take on the same idea. When we met Martin from Swift, it was

like a breath of fresh air - anything was possible. We took the plunge, and

haven’t looked back!

Nursery School, Bollington, Cheshire

When Swift were appointed as main contractors on this major construction, we knew that we had to

deliver a robust and durable building on a very tight schedule. Attention to detail in the building design

and the project management produced a fantastic result that was completed within 12 weeks, despite

appalling winter conditions and Christmas holidays.

all coming together

contruction begins

Swift were awarded the contract for a new

build day nursery I was working on. Whilst

others tendered, Swift delivered a competitive

quote and were the favoured contractor

from day one, due to the service that my

clients received from Mr Martin Lawson the

managing director of Swift.

Whilst Martin liaised with the client with

regards to finishes, services etc. I was free

to press on with the detailed specification,

working closely with the manufacturing

side at Swift. When Swift began on site,

the merits of the build system became evident. When combined with the Swift team, the speed of construction was something I had not

previously experienced, as past work involved traditional masonry construction. A reduced construction time is always beneficial.

The end product exceeded everyone’s expectations and the nursery met its completion date deadline and received its completion certificate from

the local authority. The opening day was a success with several visitors giving positive feedback and the building certainly helped to gain new clients.

Overall, I can only compliment Swift and the service they gave both myself and the client, the end product is an achievement that sits proudly within

my portfolio. I would be happy to recommend Swift and I will be making future clients aware of the service and construction methods Swift provide.

Quality counts We are very selective when sourcing the elements that will make your new space.

We always choose the products that we know will produce the longest lasting

structure. We know it’s worth it, because you want to feel safe secure and cosseted

in rooms which have the edge. Rooms which make you smile.

Costs vary considerably - as do our clients! It could be compared to going to a tailor for a special outfit... you can only expect

an exact quotation after you have chosen the cloth, the style, the buttons and trim,

etc. Our larger projects and extensions demand a discussion and site survey before

we are able to calculate costs. Garden rooms can often be more predictable so the

example prices here will help you in the early stages of budgeting for your project.

Value is our commitment We are successful because we provide excellent value for money and a fine return

upon your investment. We are comfortable about not being the cheapest because

we would have to jeopardise our standards in order to reach that level. We are

proud not to be the most expensive because we pass on economies to you that are

a result of efficient and skilful supply and installation processes.

frequently asked questions Q: Do I need planning permission? In many cases your garden room or home extension can be built

within “permitted development rights”. This is a collection of

allowable developments that you can build onto, or in the gardens

of, your domestic property. The same can apply, though often less

straightforwardly, with commercial and educational projects.

Q: What if my building site has limited access?Swift garden room’s, commercial rooms and extensions are of

pre-fabricated construction and are flat packed in prefabricated

modular panels. In most situations these can be carried to site.

Our free site survey clarifies how we overcome any individual

challenges regarding access.

Q: Who will construct my garden room, extension, etc? Our fully trained, professional and customer focused team will carry

out the complete build with the minimum of disruption and with due

care and attention. When the building is completed, your new room

is cleaned, the area tidied and you take possession of the keys and

your new Swift space.

Q: Will my new Swift Room have to pass any building regulations? We will give you specific advice when we meet you and carry out

a site survey. Most of our garden rooms and garden studios already

meet or exceed most areas of building regulations but do not require

formal applications and inspections by Building Control inspectors.

Most extensions, large projects and commercial buildings will require

full building regulation conformity. Wherever building regulations are

involved, we will ensure that all standards are met and certification

is obtained.

Q:What kind of return can I expect on my investment? The current housing market has made many home improvements

the preferred route for many owners. Because we only build to high

standards, and guarantee our products, you can rest assured that all

of our projects will be viewed very favourably by any purchasers.
