SQ Spring 2023

A CULTURE OF

OWNERSHIP

Message from the Executive Committee

Historically, the Swinerton Quarterly has circulated as an internal publication, providing an avenue through which our employee‑owners from coast to coast could connect and share in our collective success. However, this Spring 2023 issue marks the first time our magazine has been released externally for our partners and clients, and we could find no better way to ring in this monumental shift than by celebrating our newest core value: ownership.

Many of our business partners, longstanding clients, and industry audiences are aware of Swinerton’s identity as a 100% employee owned company. Employee ownership forms the foundation of our exceptional work ethic, our unmistakable drive, our sense of responsibility, and our award winning culture. It is the bedrock upon which each of our other core values of integrity, leadership, passion, and excellence stand.

As employee owners, we believe in supporting our people and partners, upholding the client experience, celebrating each other’s wins, and collectively creating environments for success through our passion and commitment. Publishing the Swinerton Quarterly externally allows us to share our expertise and accomplishments with a broader audience and celebrate the achievements of our employee owners outside of our organization.

With this new, refreshed look, we are excited to share all of the ways our people are making waves with their pride of ownership: whether it is through our notable awards, our industry expertise, the milestones we achieve in the field, our community outreach, or our employee owners on the move.

No publication will ever truly capture all of the practical and tangible ways our people make an impact every day. However, these pages provide a glimpse into the culture and values behind our success and allow us to share our Swinerton pride with our clients and partners.

We could not be more proud of our hardworking employee owners across our Swinerton Family of Companies. The commitment our people show to responsibly managing our relationships and our success requires hard work, grit, and humility, but it is a commitment we readily make because our pride of ownership is what allows us to deliver peace of mind.

Eric Foster Chief Executive Officer

Swinerton Continues Longstanding Partnership

Swinerton was recently awarded the Saddleback College Advanced Technology and Education Park (ATEP) project in Southern California. This new complex will sit on 61.4 acres owned by South Orange County Community College District and will feature a two building complex totaling nearly 58,000 square feet to serve the Saddleback College Automotive Technology and Culinary Arts Department. With roughly 30,000 square feet, the Advanced Automotive Technology space includes four large instructional classrooms, an automotive shop with 14 lifts, a state of the art laboratory, a glass enclosed conference space, and a large yard to store instructional vehicles and supplies. The Culinary Arts space will include three restaurant quality instructional kitchens, a public restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and a student run coffee bar and pastry shop. Designed to meet LEED® Gold standards and exceed Title 24 energy efficiency requirements by 15%, the buildings include radius ceiling glulam beams furnished and installed by Timberlab, natural ventilation, photovoltaic panels, and electric heating and cooling systems. Swinerton will also complete exterior sitework and connect to the adjacent Irvine Valley College’s Integrated Design, Engineering, and Automation (IDEA) building.

A CULTURE OF OWNERSHIP

winerton has been a reliable and trusted building partner for 135 years. Throughout our rich history, we have lent our expertise and passion to numerous landmark projects throughout the country. Along the way, we have forged trusted relationships with our clients and industry partners and defined what it means to take ownership of our work, our company, and our culture.

Much like our industry, Swinerton has evolved greatly since our inception. However, our entrepreneurial spirit and enterprise mentality are unwavering pieces of our culture that we can trace back to our humble beginnings in 1888, when Swedish immigrant Charles Lindgren first purchased a one way train ticket and founded the brick masonry and contracting start up that would later become Swinerton.

The modest, family owned company quickly grew to survive and thrive through two world wars, the Great Depression and Recession, economic uncertainties, natural disasters, and dynamic cultural movements. In 1984, after achieving

OWNERSHIP

success despite the tumultuous century, Swinerton’s four shareholders sought a solution that could preserve the longevity of the legacy they had worked to build. The resulting decision created an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) and divided the shares of the four gentlemen amongst the entire company. This marked the moment that Swinerton, after nearly 100 years of building, became a 100% employee owned company.

“To me, that set the tone for acting in the best interest of our employee owners,” said Eric Foster, Swinerton Chief Executive Officer. “That’s always resonated with me… and going forward that is the standard we need to continue to set.”

Swinerton’s 40 year status as a 100% employee owned company is the most unique and pervasive piece of our culture. Ownership—alongside our other core values of leadership, integrity, passion, and excellence—is what defines how our teams show up to work, how we make day to day decisions, and how we interact with our business partners.

The National Center for Employee Ownership designates an employee owned company as any organization that allows employees to own shares or offers the right to the value of company shares. According to the Center, Swinerton is one of the largest majority employee owned companies in the United States. Studies show that employee ownership provides many benefits for a company, including retirement security, a shared sense of accountability, and a collective feeling of personal agency and responsibility over the direction of the business.

All full time employees at Swinerton, from craftspeople to administrative personnel, are eligible to participate in one or both of two programs that our organization offers regardless of title or tenure.

Collectively, all employees who are eligible for Swinerton’s retirement program receive company stock contributions annually as a part of Swinerton’s ESOP. When

an employee owner separates from the company, such as in retirement, the value of their stock is distributed to them.

Individually, employees can also be nominated to participate in direct ownership of Swinerton stock through our annual discretionary bonus program. Of our 4,300 construction professionals, close to 20% have been voted in as direct shareholders based on a combination of years of service, company profitability, individual performance, and a clear demonstration of our organization’s core values. Furthermore, no single employee at Swinerton can own more than 4% of the organization, which ensures that we can equitably distribute ownership across our company.

Employee ownership at Swinerton is not just a position or state of being. Rather, it is a mindset that all of our teams embrace. With our culture of ownership, our people not only have a personal stake in the success of every project, but we share a sense of pride over our decisions, results, and performance.

“You’re going to be dealing with the owners of Swinerton,” said Dave Callis, President and Chief Operating Officer of Swinerton. “Every employee on your jobsite, whether a superintendent or a project engineer, is an owner of the company versus an employee of the company.”

Swinerton’s commitment to employee ownership is directly connected to our strong sense of culture, our conscious use of resources, and our financial strength. As we continue forward into the future, we are committed to remaining 100% employee owned. This position ensures our equity and decision making stays with us—allowing us to grow, adapt, and innovate to better serve our clients wherever and however they need us.

EXPERTS IN

PRE FAB RICA TION

Benefits of Prefabrication:

‑ Cost savings

‑ Accelerated Speed of Construction

‑ Enhanced Quality Control and Consistency

‑ Improved Safety Conditions

Prefabricated and modular construction are often stigmatized as low end and mass produced modes of construction. Swinerton, however, is making great strides in changing this perception. With over 30 such projects successfully completed or currently in progress, this depth of experience positions us as experts as the demand for this type of construction continues to grow sharply.

Swinerton continuously seeks opportunities to demonstrate how the quality and subsequent benefits of prefabricated and modular construction can benefit our clients’ budget and schedule. With a recession likely looming in the near future, this will be of critical importance. Prefabrication can reduce construction costs due to the improved reliability of the construction process, its controlled environment, and reduced installation durations. Certain scopes can also be run concurrently with other construction activities to further accelerate the schedule.

Prefabrication increases the quality of construction, as it provides a more reliable finished level for each component. Materials are built utilizing machine precision, ensuring uniformity to specified codes and standards. Prefabrication also helps address the challenges that come from a shortage of skilled craftspeople as it requires less labor in the field.

The controlled environment of the prefabrication process results in safer working conditions compared to onsite construction without competing trades, debris, and material waste in the field. It also increases safety when prefabricated systems and modular units arrive in the field for assembly. Lowering the fall risk for workers, materials, and equipment protects field teams, the public, and surrounding structures.

Depending on each client’s needs, Swinerton’s use of prefabricated and modular construction varies significantly. The five story Weingart 11010 Santa Monica Boulevard Affordable Housing Development in Los Angeles, CA, fully

utilizes modular construction. The 51 modular units were prefabricated at an offsite facility 80 miles from the project site. As direct proof of the schedule benefits, all units were set by crane in just 10 days as the building elevation grew from Level 1 to Level 5.

Swinerton’s DignityMoves Alameda Village project in Northern California is utilizing similar modular methods, but to a lesser extent per client needs. The transitional housing community will feature 47 one bedroom units, five of which will be for at risk and homeless transitional age youth. The two story building utilizes prefabricated Factory_OS modular units pre approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Read more about this project on page 15

Incorporating prefabricated materials in a variety of scopes also helps clients achieve their unique design goals. In late 2021, Swinerton completed a new 14 story dual branded Marriott Courtyard Element Hotel in Atlanta with 282 guestrooms. Due to the unique combination of two different hotel brands within a single structure, the client opted for prefabricated construction. By combining the elements of a traditional concrete structure and the prefabricated structural cold formed metal framing bearing walls, both hotel brand standards were integrated into a single unit.

Swinerton is also meeting similar design goals for a client’s new three story,

60,000 square foot medical office building in Los Angeles. Atypical of most projects, Swinerton’s self perform team is utilizing prefabrication to deliver the fully panelized interior wall framing to the site, with all partial height wall partitions prefabricated. In conjunction with panelized interior framing, the project utilizes ConXtech structural steel, a fully bolted steel system that requires no welding and strengthens the prefabricated elements. The connections can immediately be bolted together once the material arrives onsite, which in turn increases budget and schedule efficiencies.

As further evidence of our expertise, Swinerton owns a full service construction prefabrication facility in Riverside, CA. Spanning three acres, the facility provides in house formwork fabrication for wall, deck, column, and specialty forms. Owning and fabricating our formwork mitigates the unknowns of market availability and the potential lack of material resources and labor due to market demand.

As new opportunities continue to arise, Swinerton is excited to be at the forefront of prefabricated and modular construction. We look forward to demonstrating that it is viable and replicable for projects in all markets and how it can benefit each client’s unique budget, schedule, and design goals.

SWINERTON POSITIONED TO HELP CLIENTS

The aviation industry is facing a unique challenge. With aging infrastructure requiring updates or complete replacement, stability, security, and communication have become paramount. Fortunately, the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) passed in 2022 can help address these needs by allocating $15 billion in infrastructure funding over five years. The BIL will “upgrade our nation’s airports…and improve U.S. competitiveness, create more and better jobs at these hubs, and reduce emissions.”1

For the first time in decades, we have the opportunity to focus on capital investments that will transform how people connect around the world. This influx of funds will go a long way toward keeping our airlines safe and secure while also growing to meet customer demands.

On March 9, the third round of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s airport grants was announced, releasing an additional $77 million to 49 airports nationwide2 in nearly every single city in which Swinerton is actively working on or pursuing aviation projects.

There will be a big focus on projects that are shovel‑ready. Airports are evaluating their needs lists, looking at the additional funding source that the BIL provides, and reprioritizing their projects to meet the funding criteria.

“Security and safety functions and components have become clear themes that our teams are starting to see, everything from fire and life safety systems and egress, all the way up to aircraft rescue and firefighting facilities,” said Carrie Shaeffer, Vice President and National Director of Aviation at Swinerton.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allows companies like Swinerton opportunities to bring stability through quality workmanship backed by safety protocols that guarantee project success. Investing in modern technology is essential if airports want to remain competitive in today’s global market. Swinerton’s aviation clients’ focus has turned to a deeper level of operational readiness training where every component

“Collaboration between public agencies, private businesses, and local communities is essential when it comes to building a better future,” said Carrie Shaeffer, Vice President and National Director of Aviation. “We have an opportunity to ensure our infrastructure remains strong while also creating jobs throughout the aviation sector.”

CLIENTS TAKE FLIGHT

of the communication and emergency systems work 100% of the time.

“We are seeing all of our clients working to increase their capacity and efficiency in provisioning flights, which requires facilities and utilities,” Shaeffer said. “Airlines operators want people to have on time flight departures and arrivals.” Several of Swinerton’s clients are looking for opportunities to upgrade and install new checked baggage inspection systems (CBIS), which are faster and more ergonomically designed for TSA agents and improve scanning technologies for bags.

From providing temporary relief to pinch points in airport terminals with our tenant improvement projects, to addressing the needs of our clients who are experiencing tremendous growth requiring new ground up facilities, Swinerton has been answering the aviation industry’s call. Our teams remain invisible to passengers and ensure that operations are maintained and not disrupted, delivering the highest level of airport capacity while elevating each space.

Swinerton’s recent work at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) highlights our commitment to successful project execution without compromising the passenger experience. ATL is the “world’s busiest and most efficient airport.” It is also Delta Air Lines’ corporate headquarters and primary hub. Swinerton developed a partnership with Delta Air Lines to help elevate their spaces to better serve their passengers and employees with upgrades to several Sky Clubs and a new In Flight Service Lounge.

The complexity of these renovations required extensive coordination

with airport operations. Swinerton demonstrated its expertise to the airport, resulting in project wins with Atlanta Airlines Terminal Company and the city’s Department of Aviation as direct clients. Most recently, the City of Atlanta selected Swinerton as one of four on call Master General Contractors to execute repairs, upgrades, and renovations for projects under $10 million for the next five years. This type of service program successfully positions Swinerton as a preferred contractor at other airports across the country, including Seattle Tacoma International Airport, Denver International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport.

Just four years ago, Swinerton was only pursuing aviation work in a handful of our offices. Today, our teams deliver roughly $400 million in aviation construction projects annually. We have worked at 50 airports and airfields, collaborating as a trusted partner with private operators, government agencies, and commercial airlines across the nation. From complex hangar facilities to baggage handling systems, from luxury airline lounges to passenger ticketing stations—our in house technical expertise and self perform resources allow us to exceed the goals of our aviation clients amid an ever changing industry. We will continue to help our clients take flight with the funding available through the BIL.

Newest Division & Office Location Led by Jeremiah Shakespeare

Swinerton is proud to share that on January 1, 2023, we launched our newest division. Based out of our current office in Spokane, WA, the Inland Northwest division allows us to strategically expand our ability to serve our clients in this ever growing region.

The Spokane office first opened in 2019 to capitalize on the growing healthcare market. Since opening, the team continues to grow with repeat client requests to provide services from Spokane to Boise, ID. The division's Special Projects Group is also expanding to increase its market share as they pursue these lucrative opportunities.

The Inland Northwest is currently working on three significant projects: a 91,200 square foot Aero Flite, Inc. (AFI) Maintenance Facility Hangar in Spokane, which will accommodate AFI’s fleet of over 20 aerial firefighting aircraft in the off season; a two story classroom building, which will house Spokane Falls Community College’s fine arts and photography programs; and a mass timber Micron Technology Childcare Center located in Boise.

At the helm of the new division is Jeremiah Shakespeare, a tenured construction professional backed by extensive experience, including healthcare, high rise residential, and special projects. He has also completed many successful design build projects, which will prove to

be a valuable asset as he leads the Inland Northwest to pursue work with the top design firms and trade partners throughout the region.

Swinerton President and Chief Operating Officer Dave Callis said, “On behalf of the Swinerton Executive Committee, I feel Jeremiah is the prime leader to manage our new Inland Northwest division as we continue to extend our reach into this region. I look forward to watching him guide some of the most talented individuals in the industry to further our ability to become the preferred builder and trusted partner in every market we serve.”

Coming full circle in his career, Shakespeare first served as an intern and project engineer for Swinerton. After working for a developer shortly thereafter, he rose from project engineer to vice president for one of Seattle’s largest general contractors. He rejoined Swinerton in 2019 and quickly became a leader and mentor to his team members in the Spokane office.

“I have a pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit and love the challenge of creating a strong, positive culture coupled with operational excellence in growing markets,” Shakespeare said. “Working in Spokane, Boise, and the surrounding regions is not the first time I’ve enjoyed the challenge of creating and growing a workforce from a handful of employees to reach its fullest potential.”

Building Our Community

As socially responsible and passionate employee owners, we are deeply committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work and actively contributing to the success and holistic well being of our business and trade partners. Swinerton has identified four strategic areas of giving: community resiliency, construction workforce development, construction education, and community support. Striving to connect with each local community through outreach events, we recognize our impacts on our neighborhoods, the environment, and the world around us.

Rebuilding Together

Since 2003, Swinerton has been an avid supporter of Rebuilding Together’s nationwide efforts to secure affordable homeownership and housing stability for seniors, low income community members, and veterans. In 2016, we committed to including this organization in our strategic focus on community resiliency and skills based volunteering. Today, six of our employees serve on their local Rebuilding Together affiliate’s Board of Directors.

Recently, our San Diego office partnered with Rebuilding Together to complete numerous interior and exterior repairs and improvements at the Hauer household.
