Swingler Construction – Teutopolis Business of the Month
Building a Legacy of Excellence in Teutopolis, Effingham, and Surrounding Communities
For more than 75 years, Swingler Construction has been a cornerstone of the construction industry in Teutopolis, Effingham, and the surrounding counties. As a fourth-generation, family-owned general contractor, the company has built more than structures—it has built trust, relationships, and a reputation for integrity, craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to the community.
Founded in 1945 by Louis J. Swingler as L.J. Swingler & Sons, the company began by providing affordable, efficient housing to meet post-war demands. As the region’s needs evolved, so did Swingler Construction, transitioning to industrial and commercial projects that continue to shape the local landscape. Today, with a team of 25+ skilled employees, the company leads the way in pre-engineered metal building systems and comprehensive commercial construction services.
