Company Overview

Swope Construction Company has operated a successful General Contracting firm for over 25 years.  Swope is a licensed contractor in West Virginia and Virginia, with the primary regions being central and southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia.  Swope specializes in commercial building projects and is strongest in complex and accelerated job schedules.  The company performs major renovation projects as well as new construction, including hospitals, schools, offices, industrial, metal buildings, hotels, residential and site grading. 

Safety has always been an important factor of Swope Construction Company.  A Safety Alliance has been initiated on jobsites with positive feedback from sub-contractors and other prime contractors.  This Alliance allows all parties to be involved with safety and help insure enforcement on the jobsite.  The Alliance has resulted in less safety issues on sites as well as solutions to safety concerns and questions.  A recent OSHA inspection at one of the jobsites in Lewisburg, West Virginia was a success as no citations were issued for the project.
