We call it our secret sauce. Since the very beginning, the Van Pelt Way has guided our approach to what we do. At its core, it’s about service. But it’s also about so much more. Our founders, Mark Van Pelt and Michael V., talk about this foundational VPCS philosophy in our latest blog. https://lnkd.in/gecFpgB5 #service #whateverittakes #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement #programmanagement #californiaschools #schoolfacilities

We’ll be heading to Newport Beach in a few days for the Small School Districts' Association (SSDA) Superintendents’ and High School Leaders’ Summit.

Come say hello if you’ll be there July 21-23. #californiaschools #smallschooldistricts #programmanagement #constructionmanagement

We’ve enjoyed a lot of enduring relationships in this business and our connection to Marty Militano might be one of the longest lasting. Just look at the incredible photo we found of Marty and Mike Van Pelt in a job trailer with a very young Kelli Van Pelt (now Jurgenson), who clearly prepared early for the leadership role she now occupies. One of the Van Pelt brothers’ oldest friends and one of VPCS’s first employees, Marty's now back on our team as a senior PM. Hear a few of his stories in our latest blog. https://lnkd.in/gbhtwwy5 #oldfriends #team #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement #programmanagement #californiaschools #schoolfacilities Kelli Van Pelt - Jurgenson Lemon Grove School District
