Services
Pre-construction
It is our belief that the building construction is just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of the project. We typically begin working with our clients as they begin to assess their needs and budgets. Our experienced project managers have an average of 15 years of experience working with clients helping to identify project requirements. Through our review, budgeting and value added research, we are able to ensure your project is both functional and beautiful.
Our pre-construction services include: MASTER PLANNING, SCHEMATIC DESIGN, PROJECT BUDGETING, VALUE-ADDED RESEARCH, CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW, MARKET WATCH, COST CONTROL, PRECONSTRUCTION SCHEDULING, BID EVALUATION AND AWARD.
Scherrer Construction can also assist and educate clients with the selection process of the project team (selecting architects, engineers and any other key personnel needed to complete the project).
Construction
Scherrer Construction employs seasoned masons, carpentry, concrete, and select demolition crews to complete projects with quality craftsmanship. By using our own crews we are able to eliminate the extra hassle of hiring and managing subcontractors and focus more on the needs of the Owner.
Throughout the construction phase, our Project Superintendent oversees and inspects all aspects of the site to ensure quality craftsmanship per the architectural plans. They also play an active role in the actual construction. On site, our Superintendents work as mentors to select crews and actively complete construction phases. This allows each Superintendent a complete understanding of the subcontractor’s role on site. It also decreases the overall construction labor costs. Throughout each project we work together to create a hassle-free project. We implement cost saving programs automatically such as onsite safety programs, direct owner purchases, continuous value added research and in-depth cost tracking. Scherrer Construction strives to be proactive, and predict all construction needs early in the process.
Our complete construction services include:
• Direct Owner Purchase • Sustainability Research and Implementation • Safety Programs
• Subcontractor Prequalification, Bidding and Awarding
Specialties
- LEED Certification
We take sustainable building to the next level. Not only are our project managers LEED accredited, but we implement cost saving green building techniques throughout each of our projects - - at no additional cost. Benefits of a sustainable building go beyond the environmental impact and can increase productivity and reduce maintenance costs.
- Continued Education
The construction industry is continuously changing and adapting to meet new building requirements. Techniques are refined to shorten schedules and new equipment is used to increase efficiencies and cost savings. Each of our tradesmen and on site Superintendents are required to complete continued education courses at universities and technical colleges to ensure they have the skill set and knowledge to implement the latest construction techniques. Because of our commitment to continued education, we are able to compete with our larger competitors.

Our enduring commitment to quality craftsmanship is fulfilled by our masons, cement finishers, and carpenters. Scherrer Construction strongly believes there is no substitute for the job control and quality our self-performing trades bring to each project.
