Building Trust, Delivering Excellence for Over Two Decades

Welcome to Swanbourne Construction Ltd, your trusted building partner in Bognor Regis and across West Sussex. For more than 24 years, we’ve been transforming houses into dream homes, one project at a time.

Our Story

Swanbourne Construction was founded by James with a simple but powerful vision: to deliver exceptional building work with unwavering integrity, superior craftsmanship, and genuine care for every customer. What started as a one-man operation has grown into one of West Sussex’s most trusted building companies, but our core values remain exactly the same.

Based in the heart of Bognor Regis, we’re genuinely local to the communities we serve. This means we’re not just your builders – we’re your neighbours. We understand the area, we know the local planning requirements, and we’re invested in the reputation we’ve built here over more than two decades.

Meet the – Director & Founder

James  – Director of Swanbourne Construction ltd

With 24 years of hands-on experience in the building industry, James  has dedicated his career to perfecting the art of home transformation. His expertise spans every aspect of residential construction, from intricate loft conversions to stunning house extensions.

James’s Track Record:

• 24 years of building industry experience
• 200+ completed loft conversions, building projects and extensions
• Specialist in maximising home potential and adding value
• Expert in West Sussex building regulations and planning requirements
• Passionate about delivering projects on time and on budget

“I founded Swanbourne Construction because I wanted to do things differently,” says James. “Too many homeowners have horror stories about builders who don’t turn up, leave jobs half-finished, or cut corners. I built this company on the opposite principles: reliability, quality, and transparent communication. Every project matters to me personally, whether it’s a small bathroom renovation or a major two-storey extension.”

James’s approach is hands-on. He personally oversees every project, ensuring the same high standards are maintained from initial consultation through to final inspection. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction have earned Swanbourne Construction a reputation as one of the most dependable building companies in the region.

What Our Customers Say

“We highly recommend James and Swanbourne Construction for the loft conversion and rear extension they completed in 2024. James was on time, and the work was managed with exceptional cleanliness and professionalism. Communication was fantastic; James talked us through every detail, ensuring a smooth process. The finished spaces are superb and have truly transformed our home. A reliable, high-quality builder!”

“I used James to complete a full house refurbishment a couple of years ago. We had both bathrooms and kitchen changed and every room decorated, he even laid our new LVT floor to all of the ground floor. James and team were on time daily, left the job clean every evening and his knowledge and advice was so helpful. We have done nothing but praise him to all our friends and family and will be using again in future for any further projects.”
