Build With Champions

New ownership. New culture. Big things ahead.

ICI is under new leadership. Roy Swihart, a longtime Interwest Construction employee and our former Vice President, is now our Owner and President. He knows this company from the ground up, and he is building it into a place where good people want to stay. Our culture runs on two values: Building Champions and Be Excellent. We invest in our people, hold ourselves to a high standard, and we are growing.

A flexible work schedule, and home every night

We know the best estimators have lives outside of work. At Interwest Construction you will have a flexible work schedule built around getting the job done, not punching a clock. Need to shift your hours for a kid's game, a doctor's appointment, or a long weekend? We will work with you.

You will work out of the Interwest office closest to you: Burlington, Everett, Port Angeles, or Yakima [confirm]. Site visits are day trips in a company car, so you are home every night.
