GBFC Founding Members


Founded in 1888, the Swinerton Family of Companies provides clients with an unmatched breadth of experience that spans three centuries. The same spirit that rebuilt San Francisco after the Great Earthquake of 1906 remains strong today, driven by the fundamental principle of exceeding our clients’ expectations through innovative construction and outstanding customer service.

Over the past century, expansion throughout the West has created a network of offices - Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Santa Clara, San Leandro, Los Angeles, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Fe, San Antonio, Houston, Denver and Honolulu - that provides a full range of construction services: Commercial Building, Management & Consulting, Tenant Improvement, and Engineering Construction. The Swinerton Family of Companies is 100% employee owned, bringing a higher level of service, dedication and pride to each project.

Over the course of the Company’s 119-year history, Swinerton Builders has recognized the importance and value of construction and design practices that conserve energy, natural resources, reduce waste, and promote healthier and more productive built environments.

We are active United States Green Building Council members and are working on numerous LEED-registered projects throughout the Western United States. Swinerton’s Green Team of more than 65 LEED Accredited Professionals and 200 Green-trained employees work to provide practical, cost-effective Green solutions to Clients, along with the Company’s design and engineering partners. The Swinerton Green Team is comprised of a complete cross section of employees, ranging from Project Engineers to Swinerton’s full-time Corporate Sustainability Manager Grant French, the Swinerton Green Board of Directors, and all the way up to the Chairman & CEO.

The Executive Committee has prioritized sustainability as a top initiative for 2007. Not only do we recognize that building Green is important to us as a business, but we also take seriously our responsibility to protect the environment through sustainable business practices.

We can all do much more in our business to protect this great planet. We should push for sustainable design and LEED Certification. I encourage everyone to make this a priority and part of our culture.>
