VPC Builders has been in business for 11 years and currently has 31 employees. Our goal is to do the right thing the right way and to make every project exciting and pain free for the client. VPC stands for Values – Professionalism – Collaboration.
Unique Selling Proposition / Competitive Advantage:
We set ourselves apart from other custom builders in our area by offering single source in-house site assessment, drafting/design, contracting, interior design, and Home Watch services. Experience gained through the years allows our project managers and superintendents to employ the most innovative construction means and methods for our unique mountain terrain, challenging weather conditions, and building materials management. At 31 employees and counting, we attract the most diverse, skilled, and educated workforce within the construction industry in our region, and are on a growth trajectory due to our solid reputation, training, and mentoring processes. The most unique marketing strategy is using wine barrels to advertise our project sites and the VPC Builders Logo on a vintage step side truck that is seen parked at our office in Banner Elk, NC or participating in local Fourth of July parades. All of VPC Builders fleet of trucks proudly displays our logo which is seen by thousands of drivers across three counties during the work week. Back in 2016, when VPC Builders revamped its innovative and progressive brand and new eye-popping logo, the marketing team incorporated not only the sandblasted wine barrel project signs which won the Signage Smackdown contest sponsored by REMODELING IN 2015 but added the vintage truck, wooden coasters, metal business cards, and anything that differentiates VPC Builders from other local building contractors. In 2021, VPC Builders website underwent a major revamp that clearly conveys the high standards of construction that our team consistently adheres to.
