How I Build Swiftlet Farm for My Reader.

Here is one of my Swiftlet farm projects in the South of Perak. It is a 3 storey 20x 70 ft Bh. Located in the center of the Coconut and Palm oil plantations.

Its belongs to Mr.Z of Kuala Lumpur who is a Swiftlet farming enthusiast.

The below pictures show how I build swiftlet Farm for my Reader ( its foundation)

The land has been cleared and filed up with sand & rock.


Ready for piling


Making sure the piling is done properly. I wonder how many of you would do like us.


The foundation has to be strong. You would be surprised that your contractor charged you the same amount of money but didn't do like what we did.


The foundation of the building has to be strong. It has to sit there for many years perhaps many generations. Our investment is not just for us but for our children.....grand children.


This will support the building


The size of the support/ footing


Workers busy working


Every footing is measured making sure uniform size.


Using thick steel bars






After many weeks of works.


Enjoy the pictures


A good swiftlet farm is not only to build to attract birds to stay and make nests but it is built to last. This means it must have a strong foundation in order to last many years.


Good swiftlet farming All!
