We are builders in the traditional sense of the term. VIP’s philosophy of building maintains that quality and efficiency are attained through the collective efforts of a well-trained and dedicated work force. Our LEED®-accredited construction experts have been building from an owner’s and architect’s perspective for forty years, accumulating a portfolio of more than 20 million SF.

We continuously work to improve our skills while maintaining an in-house construction staff of over fifty persons. Project Managers, Field Superintendents, Staff Architects and Field Personnel work together year-round in a continued effort to achieve construction excellence. Our work force is comprised of several specialized crews who work together and have the ability to complete all aspects of building. These specialties include surveying and layout, carpentry, concrete foundations and floors, masonry, roofing, and structural steel erection. These in-house capabilities not only create a better team, but also give us total control of scheduling and quality.

Our construction professionals are noted for their ability to perform fast-track projects while ensuring the highest quality, in part due to their ability to self-perform key trades–including concrete, steel erection and finish carpentry. We are committed to safety, maintaining an excellent safety record and receiving recognition with numerous safety awards.

VIP’s construction operation performs the majority of our work on a design-build basis. However, we also act as a pure general contractor and as a supply/erect steel subcontractor to major national general contractors.
