Our Mission

Our Story

VMC Contracting Inc. (VMC) was established in 2001 by Victor Cierra as a specialized drywall company. Our firm has since grown to more than 80 employees servicing more than 160 construction projects annually. Projects range from single-day engagements valued at a few thousand dollars to multi-million-dollar, multi-year contracts.

VMC is a Springfield, Virginia-based (Washington, DC Metropolitan Area) contractor that has a dedicated team ready to respond to client needs at moment’s notice. VMC’s primary business model is driven by providing services and turnkey construction to our growing list of new and repeat clients.

VMC continually utilizes our team of project managers, assistant project managers, superintendents, finish carpenters, framers, drywall mechanics, painters, laborers, and drivers to simultaneously execute multiple projects while self-performing typically 60-70% of the project scope. This allows VMC to better control project schedule, supply chains, manpower, and project cost.

Our self-perform capabilities include but are not limited to project management, site supervision, safety, quality control, demolition, interior and exterior construction, metal framing, drywall, acoustical ceilings, carpentry, doors and hardware, painting, carpet and base, floor patch, concrete, storefront installation, and window film.  Our self-performing capabilities sets us apart from other construction companies in the market.

Throughout our history, VMC has developed a pool of repeat clients that see fit to negotiate the cost and scope of work with us. They know our prices to be fair and in concert with the high level of quality and service we consistently deliver. Our extensive portfolio includes federal government agencies, contractors, embassies, healthcare, laboratories, data centers, institutions, hospitality, and Fortune 500 clients.

VMC values its customers and will go above and beyond to exceed their expectations by providing superior quality and services with safety, integrity, and accountability of this highest order. The level of craftsmanship, experience, and dedication we bring to each project is unrivaled. 

VMC is licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC.

Vision & Core Values

  • At VMC, we are construction professionals. We are builders first, who take pride in delivering space with a purpose to not only meet the exacting needs of our clients but with a level of service that exceeds their expectations.

  • Promoting honesty and delivering top quality has resulted in multitudes of repeat business for VMC. Not only do we encourage honesty in our own business practices, but we seek critical feedback from our clients to document lessons learned and ensure we may continue providing the level of service that is expected while making improvements along the way. There is always room for improvement. Integrity across the business allows all of us to do better.

  • VMC takes pride in our work, and it is our responsibility to deliver all projects to the satisfaction of our clients. We are proactive in client engagement, seeking feedback throughout progress to verify they are receiving service above expectation and taking immediate corrective action should issues arise. We recognize that our clients have budgetary and scheduling priorities. We collaborate closely and transparently with them to ensure that their project is delivered in accordance with those priorities and to the benefit of all stakeholders.

  • Safety is VMC’s top priority and at the core of all project planning. We schedule and strategize all construction activities to ensure uncompromised safety to personnel, public, and property. VMC considers planning the key to safety, and we begin planning and communicating safety measures prior to the start of every workday. VMC is proud that it maintains an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) well below the national average of 1.0.

  • At VMC, quality is second only to safety. Quality begins before we step foot on the project site. It is paramount in all planning activities so that all projects are built to their specifications and to minimize the unexpected during performance. VMC carefully reviews all construction plans prior to mobilization, educates our team on expectations, safety measures, and daily construction activities, and inspects all products and materials for accuracy and installation procedures to ensure quality and compliance with the construction documents.
