Mission Statement

SWA subscribes to a whole building approach, that is, that all building systems are considered integral to building performance as a whole. Design, engineering, construction, material selection, accessibility issues, HVAC control strategies, and energy efficiency can each affect comfort, durability, performance and affordability. At SWA, we are committed to achieving energy, cost and resource-efficient buildings that meet the needs of an increasingly demanding and diverse client base.

We are driven by a simple philosophy, and our reputation depends on it:

To excel professionally.
To advance the state-of-the-art of the built environment through our work and by example.
To learn by observing, absorbing new information, and continually striving to improve.
To gain professional and industry recognition and be known for good work.
To enjoy our work, our colleagues, our clients, and our working lives.
To be a sustainable and profitable organization with steady growth and by continually enhancing our skills and knowledge base, and surviving the bad times.
