Thank you for visiting SW Associates, Inc.
At SW Associates custom building homes is a fine art. Just as artists produce limited
editions of their original works, we limit the number of custom homes we build each
year. This frees us to enrich the quality of each home throughout every stage of the
planning and construction process.

Each “limited edition home” embodies our experience in high-quality construction and
efficient business management, as well as our commitment to the highest standards
of workmanship, honesty, dependability and customer satisfaction. And we stand
behind those values with a written homeowner’s warranty on every home we build.
 

Houston Earns Building Performance Designation

Jimmy Houston, Jr., job supervisor for SW Associates, Inc., has been designated as a Certified
Building Inspector by the Building Performance Institute (BPI), after graduating from a BPI-sponsored
course offered at Caldwell Community College (Watauga Campus) in March 2009.

To gain this certification Houston has demonstrated an understanding of the relationship between all
systems of the house and its effect on occupant health, safety and comfort, energy efficiency and
durability.  He passed written and field examinations that provided evidence of his ability to find the
real problem and fix it, instead of putting a bandage on one of the symptoms.

Stan Whittington, president of SW Associates, says, “We are proud of Houston’s accomplishment.  It
will help our company maintain its ability to use the latest technology and building science knowledge
to give our clients homes where they can both be comfortable and safe, while helping the
environment by improving energy efficiency.”

BPI is a globally recognized agency within the building performance industry that provides credentials
to professionals and quality assurance programs.

SW Associates specializes in custom residential construction and efficient business management, as
well as a commitment to the highest standards of workmanship and customer satisfaction.  The
Hickory-based company has been in business since 1992.  The company is a member of the Home
Builders Association of Hickory-Catawba County, the Better Business Bureau, the Catawba Valley
Chamber of Commerce, and the Southern Living Custom Builder Program
