Swift Builds is a fully West Australian-owned company. We work to address housing affordability and availability in WA by automating a large portion of the building process using state-of-the-art machinery and equipment to pre-fabricate the structural components of the house. Delivered as flat packs to be installed on-site by a registered builder, either from our trusted network or of your own choosing.

 

 

We are very proud to make sure our builds meet a 9.6 energy star rating, which we guarantee due to our build process. The Australian building industry is self-regulating and therefore many are meeting the 6-star energy baseline, which costs you, the homeowner in heating and cooling. With energy prices continuing to skyrocket, there’s no need to build a low-energy-rated home given how we can build today. Additionally, we are one of the few builders able to deliver Prefab Passive Solar and Passivhaus.

Manufacturing and Transport

Installation

The transport and on-site erection of prefabricated timber homes offer a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional on-site construction methods. 

We aim to address key challenges in the real estate industry including the housing crisis, climate change, and affordability issues.

House Kits

Factory fabricated walls allows for controlled conditions where each component can be produced with high precision. This reduces the risk of errors and ensures a consistent level of quality in each wall panel.

The roof and floor truss system we manufacture are the Pryda Longreach trusses. Which can be designed for all common loads. Our trusses are all-timber and generally have a stiffer performance as they can dissipate floor vibrations and the nail plates connecting the webs and chords are quite substantial.

Our Prefab timber homes are energy-efficient for several reasons:

High Thermal Insulation: Timber is a natural insulator.

Low thermal mass. Timber has a lower thermal mass compared to materials like concrete or brick. This means it heats up and cools down more quickly in response to temperature changes.

Airtight Construction: Prefab timber homes can be constructed with a high degree of precision and accuracy, resulting in tight joints and minimal air leakage.

Renewable and Sustainable Material: Timber is a renewable resource when harvested responsibly.

Carbon Sequestration: Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. When timber is used in construction, it effectively “locks in” this carbon, preventing it from being released back into the atmosphere.

Swift Builds prefab construction is an excellent choice for owner builders or builders  looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
