The Swiss Construction Workers' Union (German: Schweizerische Bauarbeiterverband, SBAV) was a trade union representing workers in the construction industry in Switzerland.
Although many of the various small unions of building workers in Switzerland were affiliated to the Swiss Trade Union Federation, the stronger unions were concerned about allying with the weaker ones, and they could not agree on the best way to unionise Italian workers in the industry.
The SBAV was founded in 1904, but remained very small.
Augusto Vuattolo, former leader of the bricklayers, became the president of the SBAV.
