Get to Know VPCS
Van Pelt Construction Services is on the owner’s side. We manage all aspects of institutional programs and construction projects, from concept to ribbon cutting and everything in between. With roots that reach deep into California soil – and now with offices in Berkeley and Santa Rosa in addition to our Fairfield headquarters – we have the experience, expertise and vision to see the big picture while keeping a careful eye on the details.
Firmly committed to the “cradle to career” concept that is fundamental to California’s public education mission, we constantly adapt to cutting-edge facilities design, construction and programmatic approaches that support the “whole child” from pre-kindergarten through higher education and beyond.
We maintain strong, mutually respectful relationships with architects, contractors and sub-contractors while fiercely protecting owners’ interests. Our nimble structure adapts to and serves the needs of each assignment. Whether our job trailer is stationed on an academic campus, in a hospital parking lot or at a community facility, VPCS team members know that accountability, accessibility and economy are all critical elements of successful projects.

Since 1996
VPCS has decades of experience doing what we love: helping deliver beautiful, efficient, functional buildings that will stand the test of time. From our humble beginnings as a two-man shop, we’ve grown into one of California’s most prominent PM and CM firms. And, since opening East Bay and North Bay branch offices, we are even better equipped to serve clients throughout the state. We’ve remained solvent through the Great Recession, local economic dips and even a global pandemic – thanks to a lot of careful planning, a supportive group of satisfied clients and a little luck. It also helps that we have the best team of professionals in the business, who have been the heart and soul of this operation from the start. At VPCS, the most important thing we build is relationships.
