Building Contractors Based in the Forest of Dean
Parker SW Ltd is a building contractor based in the Forest of Dean, working on extensions, renovations and new builds across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.
We specialise in combining traditional methods and materials with modern construction techniques to create sympathetic, long-lasting projects for both period and contemporary homes.
Led by Experience
Parker SW Ltd is owned and led by Alex Parker, whose approach to building has been shaped by over 35 years of hands-on experience across new builds, heritage restoration and domestic projects.
With a particular passion for period properties and traditional craftsmanship, Alex believes good building work should respect what already exists, not fight against it. That philosophy runs through every project, whether restoring historic features or carefully integrating modern construction techniques into older homes.
How We Approach Every Project
We believe you value a straightforward approach, clear communication throughout the build, and confidence that your project is properly planned, managed, and delivered when we say it will be.
Building work has a reputation for vague timelines and moving targets. We don’t think that’s acceptable. From the outset, we take the time to plan properly, set realistic expectations, and keep you informed, so you’re not left chasing progress or guessing where things stand.
Experience Across New Builds and Heritage Properties
Parker SW Ltd works across a wide range of projects, from carefully detailed new builds to sensitive alterations and extensions to existing homes.
Our experience spans period properties, listed buildings, and contemporary construction, allowing us to adapt our approach to suit the character, constraints, and requirements of each site.
