Specific Work Experience

Airports

Airport terminal construction and expansion requires careful planning and orchestration. While work is underway the entire facility must remain fully functional and travelers must be served efficiently and safely.

Community Projects

Churches, libraries, art centers and other community-related facilities are often built on a limited budget or bond, yet still demand an uncompromising and attractive level of finish. Swank Enterprises possesses the value-added engineering experience to build at high construction standards within restricted budgets.

Educational Facilities

Swank Enterprises is a leading builder of educational facilities in the Pacific Northwest. We have over $200 million in project experience from small additions to new campuses.

Working with the design team provides major savings as we assist our clients in selecting the best construction options for cost and durability. This way we can provide a budget or GMB (Guaranteed Maximum Budget) early in the design process.

Financial Institutions

Banks and other financial institutions are constructed with a level of finish to satisfy the most discriminating tastes and to project an image of financial strength. The Swank team understands these special requirements, keeping an eye on quality and rigorously managing the construction budget.

Beyond engineering and construction, Swank understands a building's intended function and ensures that the building reflects the values of a business community.

Government Institutions

Work for governmental agencies comprises the majority of projects completed each year by Swank Enterprises. Experience on the federal, state, and local levels has accustomed us to the required regulations and methods needed to be competitive in the market. Our military work under the Corps of Engineers includes Air Force dormitories, recreational facilities, and hangars for KC-135R refueling aircraft. We have also handled numerous projects for the National Park Service, Department of Environmental Quality, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services and federal housing agencies. We are experienced with them all.

Historic Renovations

Seismic and structural upgrades and new heating and electrical systems can be integrated into 100+ year-old buildings without visible effect. Our capabilities allow budgets and schedules to be controlled in spite of unexpected challenges.

Industrial Buldings

Water and wastewater treatment plants and manufacturing facilities require a specialized team. Swank's experienced crews possess an advanced working knowledge of treatment equipment, instrumentation and technical concrete forming.

Our solid database of cost information for all aspects of industrial construction enables us to provide budgets and schedules early in the design process. Concrete, steel and equipment are placed with our own crews. This saves the client money while allowing us to guarantee schedule and quality.

Industrial construction needs to strike a balance between expert engineering, rugged durability and economy. Our experience, skills and management work to achieve this.

Lodging

Hotels, motels, condominiums and other commercial lodging must be built with elegance, fuctionality and a home-like quality. Budget is always critical as the facility must generate a return on investment.

Swank Enterprises has the experience and horsepower to assure budget and timeline targets are met. We'll evaluate your structural, mechanical, electrical and other systems, as well as finish any exterior treaments to ensure quality and durability.

Medical Institutions

Swank has been building quality medical facilities for over 35 years. We have completed many new hospitals, hospital renovations, clinics, surgical and diagnostic facilities as a well as nursing homes and hospital power plants.

Hospital function and technology are changing rapidly. Hospitals are rushing to become outpatient capable. Our experienced staff is up to speed and ready to help.

Retail Stores

Retail facilities need to be constructed quickly with a minimum of obstacles. Swank Enterprises' ability to coordinate all phases of construction with an aggressive schedule means that your customers will be walking through your doors in the shortest time possible.

University Buildings

Higher education expansion, remodel and new construction typically occur on crowded campuses where space is at a premium and university life in full swing. We have the experience to complete your project with a minimum of disturbance to the surrounding facilities and activities while maintaining a rigorous project schedule.
