Owning a successful construction company was never the plan for Joe Vazquez, he was going to be a big-time accountant and get his CPA license. He was even awarded Accountant Student of the year his senior year at The University of Missouri – Kansas City. However, after working 5 years in an accounting firm, he found he just wasn’t passionate about what he was doing, and it showed. Eventually, Joe was let go from the accounting firm he had been working for. However, if you ask Joe these days, the best thing to ever happen to him was getting fired. Losing his job led to him working with his Father In-Law and Brother In-Law in their residential construction company. It was there that he learned the ropes and found the passion to one day own his own construction company.
After the housing market crashed, Joe took what he learned from his onsite construction experience, coupled with his experience of auditing construction companies and opened Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC. in January 2008. This probably wasn’t the best economy to open a company, but Joe was determined to be successful.
In 2010 Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC earned its certificate as an SBA approved 8(a) business. The application process was not easy, but Joe was an expert at paperwork after years of auditing books as a CPA. In 2011 Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC won their first 8(a) contract with the GSA. Over the next nine years Vazquez was awarded and completed over 90 Million in 8(a) contracts alone. Vazquez was able to graduate from the 8(a) program in 2019 and went on to mentor other companies.
In 2014, Vazquez was awarded their first Job Order Contract (JOC) contract with Fort Leavenworth. This propelled the company forward as a federal contractor and gave them the experience needed to compete with other larger construction companies. Vazquez went on to open their Mechanical Division in 2016, and their Electrical Division in 2017. With all their growth Vazquez went on to open a second office and warehouse to meet their needs.
2020 was a hard year for all, but Vazquez was able to power through and continue to grow. Vazquez has gone on to win multiple JOC’s with The State of Missouri and The City of Kansas City, Missouri. In 2023, Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC surpassed their 3000th project as a company. In addition, in 2023, Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC went on to open their own Plumbing Division, bringing Joe’s dream of becoming a full MEP contractor to fruition.
The future looks bright here at Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC. With this continued growth we look forward to building a new office and warehouse space, custom-built to our needs. In 2025, Vazquez Commercial Contracting, LLC plans on breaking ground with our brand new corporate headquarters. We are excited for what the future holds.
