Scherrer Construction meets the unique needs and guidelines of healthcare construction by ensuring every component of the project is built to support treatment functions, care efficiencies, and to create a comfortable experience for all.  We respect the standards of healthcare construction and the standards of care within your healthcare organization.

​

PATIENT AND WORKER SAFETY
Patient care and safety is our top concern on every healthcare project. From occupied renovations of small medical offices, to new construction of full-scope medical campuses, we follow rigorous standards in environmental infection control, dust and moisture control, interim life safety measures, vibration mitigation, shut-down and evacuation coordination, and HIPAA compliant privacy considerations. During occupied renovations, we work closely with healthcare personnel to ensure construction does not interfere or compromise the patient care setting. Our healthcare team is certified in Healthcare Construction and Infection Control by the Wisconsin Healthcare Engineering Association (WHEA). 

 
ENVIRONMENTAL INFECTION CONTROL
Scherrer Construction maintains a safe, clean environment throughout construction. We continuously monitor water damage prevention, HEPA ventilation management, dust containment and removal, moisture control, barrier management, portable containment, air pressure control, and emergency planning. 

NOISE CONTROL 
Our project managers schedule heavily audible construction activity around core operating hours to decrease client and patient distraction and inconvenience.

PATIENT PRIVACY
Our team is required to review and sign off on the facility owner’s privacy practices prior to project commencement. We maintain the privacy and integrity of patients, visitors, and staff at all times. 

​

SUSTAINABILITY

We strategize to guarantee project sustainability, long-term value, energy efficiency, and facility operations and productivity. Our LEED certified project managers focus on reducing waste, optimizing water and energy use, and improving indoor air quality. We work to achieve Energy Star® ratings and ongoing energy efficiency cost savings.
