At Southwest and Midwest Design & Construction, we simplify the building process for agricultural businesses by offering a true design-build experience.
When our clients choose SWMW, they get more than an engaged and involved construction partner. They get a team extraordinarily well-versed in the design-build approach.
Instead of juggling multiple contractors, architects, and engineers, our clients work with a single point of contact. This means no spotty communication, full accountability, and the most efficient project possible for their agribusiness.
We do more than construct buildings. We help turn the vision of your project that exists in your head into reality!
Our Process
Our process begins with business case development, feasibility assessments, and budgeting.
We assess site conditions, zoning requirements, and operational needs to ensure that your project starts on a solid foundation. Through a collaborative and iterative design process, we keep your budget and vision at the forefront of every decision. Our 30/60/90% review approach allows us to refine designs based on your goals, so there are no surprises down the road.
We provide full construction management. This means that we oversee every detail from design and engineering to on-the-ground efforts to ensure quality control, safety compliance, and adherence to your specifications. From the first concept to the final build, we ensure that each step aligns with your needs.
Strong Alberta Roots
With over 45 years in business, our team has worked closely with farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness owners to provide top design-build construction services to agribusinesses throughout Alberta and Western Canada.
Our roots are in the agricultural sector, and we have designed and built structures for grain and commodity storage, vegetable and livestock housing, equipment facilities, processing operations, and more – all built to last and grow with our clients.
Because of this experience, we understand how farmers, ranchers, and other agribusinesses operate. Our team has firsthand knowledge of the seasonal demands, evolving equipment requirements, and operational efficiencies that define agricultural businesses. Because we know these challenges, we can offer solutions that maximize productivity and support long-term success.
Our long-standing relationships with multiple generations of farmers speak to our reputation for quality and trust. In agriculture, a building is more than just a structure. It is an investment in your future. That is why we focus on functionality, efficiency, and longevity, ensuring that each project supports your operational success.
Quality Canadian Materials
Our partnerships with leading material providers ensure that we use only high-quality materials. One such valued partnership is with Behlen Industries, Canada’s largest manufacturer of steel building systems.
With nearly 100% Canadian-sourced steel, our buildings withstand the harshest Canadian environments for up to 100 years with proper maintenance.
Our construction capabilities cover a wide range of structures, including:
- Steel buildings: Rigid frame, frameless, and Archwall systems
- Post and wood frame structures
- Precast solutions
- Custom agricultural storage facilities
- Maintenance and renovation services
Our structures are built to last. Whether you need a post-frame barn, a large commodity storage building, or a new processing facility, we can design a structure that meets your exact needs.
Beyond construction, we offer maintenance, repair, and SWMWrenovation services to extend the lifespan of your buildings. Whether you need structural upgrades, expansions, or modifications, our team ensures that your facility evolves with your business.
