Our core values of integrity, leadership, passion, and excellence serve as the foundation for all we do – and set the standards we expect to deliver to our clients every single time.

We continuously strive to achieve the highest level of execution in everything we do, from safety, quality, and innovation to our attention to detail in every task.

Services

Swinerton’s specialized divisions have the skills and experience to tackle the many demands of modern building. From small tenant improvement projects to LEED-certified green building to ground-up residential towers to solar power plants, Swinerton is prepared to handle all scales and all types of projects.

BIM

The advent of building information modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the construction industry and the way Swinerton conducts operations. Our in-house VDC experts can create, adopt, and manage detailed 3D building models to provide a rich visual display of all building components and systems. These models detect major systems clashes, provide pricing information, assist with site logistics and scheduling, and help identify potential problems well before they arise. Successful model review and management saves costly rework and schedule delays down the road. Data from models can be accessed from anywhere, and updates are shared in real time. Building with BIM fosters collaboration among our project teams, owners, and designers and helps ensure the success of our projects.

Swinerton also offers laser scanning services for our projects. Using this technology, we can laser scan a facility to create a detailed point cloud. This automates and streamlines what once was tedious and time-consuming process to survey as-built conditions on existing building renovations. On new construction, the point cloud is used to confirm design intent, archive building conditions and MEP locations, and measure project progress.

Swinerton can also provide Virtual Reality model reviews, which gives all project stakeholders the chance to visualize the end product and make wise cost-effective design decisions early on in the process.

Our 129 years of building has granted us the insights and experience to make strong strategic decisions and to help our clients do the same. Our strong local ties in the markets we serve ground us in the communities we serve, while our national reach gives us a wide perspective and financial strength. Our talented people make our clients’ visions into reality, and our passion for building helps us build the essential partnerships needed to deliver peace of mind to our clients.

Preconstruction

Swinerton believes that the success of any project begins with preconstruction, forging a strong foundation between builder and client well before groundbreaking. Swinerton is dedicated to providing our clients with the information and expertise they need to make the best business decisions, and as a result, we put a critical emphasis on preconstruction in our work. We ardently believe that our end products are enhanced by that early collaboration between us and our clients.
