Schwab is a fifth generation general contractor with roots back to 1888, serving the construction needs of customers in the commercial, institutional and industrial markets. We are a local builder in the Winona area, the Rochester area, and the Twin Cities area (through our Karkela Construction division). Our experienced team has the knowledge and expertise in all areas of the construction process to ensure your project is completed on time and on budget. Whether your project is a design build project, a competitively bid project, or a Specialty Services Division project in an existing facility, our team will meet your projects' unique needs.

Schwab has the size and experience ideal for your construction project. Our goal is not to be the biggest contractor or have the most employees but instead to provide the best construction services to our customers. In fact, our size allows for our top management to be directly involved in your project. Our management team has decades of combined experience in the construction industry, and we will get your project completed safely, on time, and on budget. Schwab employs a multi-skill self-perform workforce in each of our local markets.
