Vesta Modular

Hall: “When we were at Champion, we were the manufacturer. Today, we source our production from several trusted factories. We are the Modular General Contractor/Developer of the building and often the owner of the assets. With office locations in Houston, Miami, and Atlanta, and our headquarters in Michigan, we have a wide-spread footprint to reach many hot markets. The benefit in working with us is we will put together the scope of work, engineering, hire the factory that will build it, and then turnkey to the customer. We guide the manufacturer as to what needs to be built, and then handle it from soup to nuts. To the customer we are simply a seamless, turnkey solution.” BVM: What is the extent of the company’s geographic footprint? McMurtrie: “We’ve done projects from the North Slope of Alaska to the Bahamas, and everywhere in between. Last year, we did a project for BP, where we took a large facility that was located in Saskatchewan, Canada, disassembled it, and took it through Lake Superior and the St. Lawrence Seaway, all the way down to St. Croix. I think we are one of the few companies worldwide that could pull that off in fewer than six months.” BVM: How does VESTA compete? McMurtrie: “We own about 3,000 units, nationwide. The largest competitor in the space is a company named Williams Scotsman and they bought the second and third largest competitors last year. So, they currently control about half of the market (about 200,000 units). So, they’re 70 times our size when it comes to leasing modular buildings, but that doesn’t mean we don’t compete toe-to-toe with them. What makes us unique is we probably did as much in projects last year as any competitor. We have a lot of in-house expertise from engineering, project management, and technical expertise Gainesville Fire & Rescue- Gainesville, FL
