The Sherer & Associates Story

A few years ago, I joined a friend for a hiking and rock climbing trip in the North Carolina mountains. After a few days of clean, fresh air and a lot of challenging physical exercise, my mind was clear and life was good. But… there were challenges! Getting halfway up a cliff face and getting stuck, not knowing whether to come back down, go left, go right or try to continue straight up was scary but working through the crisis and making it to the top was absolutely exhilarating!​ 

I am Dan Sherer, founder and CEO of Sherer & Associates, and I am combining everything I have learned rock climbing with my 30+ years in business to create an unparalleled experience for our clients. 

Too many architects/owners/developers are rushing into the design process without really doing the research, leading to last-minute decisions, construction delays, and cost overruns. 

Upon returning home from my trip, I realized, just like climbing, design projects require thorough research and planning, a great team, a well-organized but flexible process, and a fearless mindset to face the challenges head-on. 

 

The lessons learned on my climbing trips have evolved into what we now call the Sherer Method; the process we follow on every project to provide our clients with thoroughly researched, accurate, and creative problem-solving solutions that prioritize client collaboration and client experience​. Our clients now have the tools to make informed decisions, based on solid information from the very beginning of the process to the end. We walk with you every step of the way and ensure that your needs are met and your questions are answered. This leads to reduced stress, reduced overall costs, time savings, and a much more enjoyable experience​. 

The Sherer & Associates team is committed to keeping it positive. We are a service oriented business and we strive to stay on top of progressive and innovative technology to best support our clients. Our team is comprised of highly skilled individuals that all share the common goal of providing our clients with the highest quality service possible. 

We specialize in historic preservation, commercial renovations, and new construction. We are also big believers in sustainability and always aim to incorporate sustainable design practices in our work.
