With over three decades of experience revolutionizing construction, VCC has honed its expertise across all product sectors nationwide, making them the go-to team for clients seeking extensive knowledge and insight.

What sets VCC apart is its proactive approach to pre-construction? Adrianna Sapra, Director of Marketing, Jason Keeney, Senior VP, Donn Calaway, AIA and Chief Design Officer, Taylor Marsalis, Director of Pre-construction, and John Herring, Director of Quality Control, all weigh in. It’s not just about creating budgets and schedules; it’s about bringing real-life methods, experience, and problem-solving skills to the table. By performing thorough peer reviews, VCC ensures that potential issues are identified and resolved early on, saving time and money during the actual construction phase.

This early involvement ensures everyone is on the same page, fostering open communication, and setting the stage for success.
