County Durham's first Band A passive house

Upper Weardale

Developed a double stud timber frame and I-beam roof structure to build County Durham's first Band A passive house. The stone-clad, detached cottage is in a Conservation Area and an AONB and the finished building has a SAP Energy Rating of 97, an air-tightness level of 0.59 @ 50Pa and has is winner of the Best New Home in the 2014 Northern LABC Awards. This excellent, energy-saving performance is due in no small part to the workmanship achieved by Swift Timber Homes in the manufacture and erection of the timber frame.

Self-build project

Swift Timber Homes supplied and erected a timber frame for my self-build. I was extremely satisfied with their service throughout the entire project. The frame was delivered and erected on time and I would have no hesitation in using Swift Timber Homes for my next project.

Client · Neil Seymour

Various projects

Worked with Swift Timber Homes on various projects throughout the years ranging from one-off bespoke houses and bungalows to multi storey apartment blocks. They provide an excellent service in terms of interaction in the design process, site co-ordination and quality of the end product. The team is great to deal with in terms of initial budget costs, value-engineering and accurate tendering which is reflected in the final account. The company has the attitude that the customer comes first.
