Steven Richard, the Principal and Project Manager for Scherrer Construction has been recognized by The Daily Reporter as its Rising Professional Awards honor.
The awards list recognizes the contributions of men and women in the construction industry. Steven Richard, who joined Scherrer Construction in 2012 has been at the forefront of many projects and is known for his excellent management skills. It was his commitment to the company and dedication to outstanding service that saw him rise up the organization, and become its Senior Project Manager and part-owner in 2018.
A natural and much liked leader of the project management team, Steven is also hands-on with several responsibilities. From managing construction of his own projects, budgeting, coordinating with owners, architects, subcontractors, scheduling jobs, and managing contracts; his hands-on approach has made him the go-to man in the organization. A brilliant team player, he is always around to guide other members of the organization.
The award is also recognition for his impeccable customer relationship skills, which are a crucial aspect of success in the construction industry. Known to be extremely patient and friendly, he is liked by the clients and team members. His sterling career includes projects like Williams Bay Elementary School ($19.9M), Fox River Middle School ($24.9M), and currently, a new 80,000 SF manufacturing facility ($50M) in Racine County.
It’s interesting to note that this is not the first time the renowned Wisconsin General Contractor company has won a prestigious award by The Daily Reporter. It had earlier won its Newsmaker of The Year award, along with many other notable recognitions for its outstanding services. Through its wide range of top-quality services, it has consistently raised the bar for construction companies in the country.
Of course, what also makes this Wisconsin General Contractor stand out is its perennial pursuit to take care of its employees it relies on. Keeping their safety and wellbeing in mind, it launched a massive safety enhancement initiative earlier this year. The initiative was built around the belief that the best safety outcomes are possible only when the company and its employees have a constructive and ongoing dialogue.
The company that abides by OSHA policies thus swung into action with the initiative that encouraged its management team to participate in safety trainings. These well-trained managers would then pass on the learning to other employees of the company. In addition, employees are being given safety material to review every week. Through initiatives like this one, Scherrer Construction, Co. has proven itself to be a model employer in the business.
Catering to clients exactly according to their needs while engaged in employee development, seems to be the motto for the company. And its exceptional track record in addition to recognition for employees like Steven Richard is a testament to that commitment.
