PUTTING OUR VALUES TO WORK​
At Van Bree, our values aren’t just stated - they’re practiced, reinforced, and reflected in the everyday choices of our people. Across Van Bree Enterprises - whether its Van Bree Infrastructure or V.B. Sand & Gravel - these values come to life in the field, in the office, in our gravel pits, and everywhere in between.
You’ll see it as we commit to staying SOLUTION FOCUSED. Our estimating team looks beyond the obvious to develop bids that are competitive, realistic and efficient for our partners. They consult closely with our field and project management teams in order to provide innovative solutions.
Challenges are faced proactively so we can adapt quickly to changing conditions, and keep the momentum going when plans shift. Never losing sight of the goal to deliver trusted results - that’s the Van Bree approach.
You’ll feel it in our culture. At Van Bree, TEAM WORK is more than collaboration. It's the foundation of how we deliver for our clients. Strong communication, mutual respect, and cross-functional support ensure every job runs smoothly. When teams are aligned the result is faster decisions, fewer delays, and better outcomes.
Internal unity leads to external consistency. Projects stay on track and expectations are met, or exceeded - when people show up each day committed to each other, and to the people and businesses we serve.
You’ll see it in how our people approach their work. When team members show ambition and PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP, managers do what they can to open doors and create opportunities. Supporting that drive is part of how Van Bree invests in its people and builds long-term strength from within.
For our clients, this means cleaner execution and accountability at every stage. A sense of ownership leads to stronger relationships and work that’s done right the first time - not because it has to be, but because our people want it to be.
You'll find it in how, above all, VB leads with a deep commitment to safety. It’s not an item on a checklist - it’s embedded in our culture. SAFETY at Van Bree means watching out for each other, anticipating hazards before they arise, and ensuring that every team member gets home safely.
Steadily setting the tone for safety happens daily, not through words alone, but through consistent actions. Our supervisors and team leaders check in with others, model best practices, and reinforce, day after day, that safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Putting our values to work means ensuring they guide every decision, every job, and every opportunity - that’s VERY VAN BREE.
WHY WORK WITH VB
The Goal? To always be, VERY VAN BREE.
