7. 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!

11. 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.
