Swinerton

I am thrilled to share that Swinerton was recently ranked #7 in the nation for Airport Facility Construction by Building Design+Construction. As we take our Aviation clients to new heights, we provide peace of mind with our commitment to excellence and over six decades of experience. This tremendous achievement would not have been possible without all the hard work and creativity of @CarrieSchaffer and her brilliant team across the country! This week the team will be at the Airport Planning, Design, and Construction 2025 Symposium (AAAE PDC) in San Antonio. Currently, Swinerton is actively working at the following airports: Addison Airport (ADS), Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Denver International Airport (DEN), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), John Wayne Airport (SNA), Kahului Airport (OGG), Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), McKinney National Airport (TKI), Portland International Airport (PDX), Sacramento International Airport (SMF), San Diego International Airport (SAN), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC), and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). We are so honored to work with every one of these facilities! And a huge thank you all the Aviation project owners who have awarded us work so far this year, including: a new Lounge for Delta Airlines at ATL, numerous projects for Southwest airlines at Austin, Oakland, LAX, Sacramento and San Jose airports, DEN On Call, United Airlines at DEN, a new Chase Lounge at LAX and the new Terminal Building at McKinney National Airport. The sheer reach of Swinerton’s Aviation work from coast to coast is absolutely remarkable. We are proud to deliver process-driven Aviation solutions that keep passengers moving.

Thursday, March 27 | 2:00 PM Lisa Podesto will discuss price transparency in mass timber, providing key strategies for estimating costs in mass timber construction. We're looking forward to these pivotal discussions and connecting with industry leaders in Portland. See you there! #MassTimber #SustainableBuilding #ConstructionInnovation #IMTC2025 #Swinerton

The Phoenix Montessori Academy project team recently celebrated the topping out of the school, joined by school executives, project partners, and the developer. School executives had the chance to sign the interior beams, writing their dreams for this new space. The 38,000-square-foot building more than doubles the size of the school’s current campus, housing 18 classrooms, two toddler rooms for ages 18 months to three years old, an art room, science room, warming kitchen, and gymnasium with a full-sized basketball court to accommodate the school’s growing sports program. As a design build project, the school demonstrates Swinerton’s expertise and commitment to collaboration. Project Engineer Layla Dib and Assistant Project Manager Thomas Golden even visited students at the current campus to explain project progress and answer their excited questions.

Join Swinerton at the International Mass Timber Conference! We're excited to be in Portland, OR, from March 25-27 for the International Mass Timber Conference—the premier event for mass timber innovation and sustainable building solutions. ?? Visit us at Booth #512 to explore our latest projects, connect with our team, and learn how Swinerton is shaping the future of mass timber construction. We're also thrilled to host a sold-out In-Person Tour featuring HP WAV, part of the Washington & North Portland Mass Timber Tour. This exclusive pre-conference experience will showcase some of the most innovative mass timber buildings in Southwest Washington and Northwest Portland, with insights from architects, engineers, and builders leading the industry forward. We look forward to great conversations, new ideas, and connecting with industry leaders in Portland. See you there!

Involving students in the construction process is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. A "beam signing" creates a lasting connection between a student's education and the school's history. Last week, Swinerton had the unique privilege of hosting the inaugural class of the Denver Public Schools Responsive Arts and STEAM Academy to "sign" the beam by adding their individual handprints on the final beam that will be placed on our middle school addition project. Each handprint serves as a reminder that these students were a part of something bigger, a tangible representation of their role in shaping the school's future. Thank you Megan Bond, MBA and Ryley Loya for capturing these photos!

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak on a panel about building a greener future through sustainable construction at Columbia University M.S. in Construction Administration. The conversation covered industry trends, the challenges and opportunities of implementing sustainable solutions, and the critical skills needed to build a career in this evolving field. At Swinerton we believe sustainability in construction is not just a responsibility but an opportunity for innovation and impact. So I loved talking with the next generation of professionals how about they can play a vital role in driving meaningful change. Thank you to Columbia University and my fellow panelists for an insightful discussion. I look forward to continuing the conversation on how we can build a more sustainable future. #columbiasps #columbiauniversity #construction #sustainability #sustainability #sustainableconstruction

Each year, we celebrate women who are making a significant impact within the firm and the industry. These leaders are not only breaking glass ceilings but also fostering innovation and mentoring the next generation of women in construction. As we celebrate Women in Construction, let us acknowledge women’s vital role in shaping the industry’s future. Through support, mentorship, and continued advocacy for diversity and inclusion, we can build a construction industry that truly reflects the talent and potential of all individuals, regardless of gender. #wicweek #construction

Appreciation Moment: Yesterday when walking down the hall, I saw four of our senior-most business leaders in California sitting together discussing the future of our business. It hit me that in CA, where we’ve been the #1 contractor for over five years — driving more than $3 billion in revenue annually — three of those four senior leaders are women: Lori Dunn Guion, Lia Tatevosian, and Ruth Ann F.. Their expertise, grit, and vision has been an inspiration to me. They earned their seat at the table through strength and results. It makes me proud to work at Swinerton where leadership and excellence are recognized and rewarded. Cheers to an impressive group of women that I’m proud to call colleagues and friends. It’s an honor to work alongside them and many more at Swinerton. Excited for what lies ahead! #Leadership #Swinerton
