Swinerton Announces Expansion of Southeast Healthcare Team

Friday, March 26th, 2021

Swinerton, a top-ranked, employee-owned General Contractor established in 1888, is expanding its healthcare team into the Southeast region in response to demand for safe, reliable healthcare construction partners. The dedicated team is led by Atlanta-based Operations Manager Paul Nielsen, Superintendent Zach Hilton, and National Healthcare Director Chris Morris. Leveraging a collective bank of more than 250 healthcare construction expert resources across Swinerton's 21 offices, Swinerton is credited for delivering healthcare facilities for more than 25 years.

To support the team’s growth, Project Manager Daniel Lieb is joining Charlotte’s healthcare team from the company’s Denver office, bringing nearly a decade of experience and insight in healthcare construction innovation to benefit Charlotte healthcare organizations.

Matt Ventimiglia also recently joined the Charlotte office as a Precon Manager focused on healthcare. With 15+ years of experience serving healthcare clients in the Carolinas, Ventimiglia brings tremendous subcontractor relationships and expertise that saves clients time and money on projects.

"Swinerton recognizes the importance of best-in-class performance in all areas of construction, and in particular, the nuances and special requirements related to healthcare facilities," said Nielsen. "We operate with the understanding that there is no margin of error when it comes to establishing safe environments for patient safety and maintaining operations for patient care.

 With over $450M in healthcare revenue in 2020 and client projects ranging from $5,000 to $270 million, Swinerton provides innovative approaches to healthcare facilities with a range of specialized services to support clients ranging from ground-up hospitals and medical office buildings to minor upgrades or complete renovations, with the universal emphasis on patient care first. “Our national growth mirrors that of our healthcare clients. We are expanding our footprint to continue providing our clients with reliable and consistent delivery of our services,” continued Nielsen.

Swinerton’s dedicated team of healthcare professionals has consistently delivered on behalf of healthcare clients, including the recent first generation build-out of one of 3M’s newest facilities facilities at the Edison Windward location in Alpharetta, Ga., along with an interior space fit out per 3M’s specifications. “This project was a fast-track project due to the move-in requirements for us, which meant multiple crews working simultaneously to meet the completion deadline, said Dominic Magisano, 3M Health Information Systems Facilities Supervisor. “The entire Swinerton construction crew were top notch and committed to seeing this project completed on time. They were conscientious about following project specifications, and their work product rarely needed improvement or revision. The job supervisors remained closely involved in overseeing the project from start to finish with attention to detail, strong organizational skills and commitment to follow-through are assets which enabled them to juggle the extensive details involved in our project without missing a beat.”
