Vos started Dan Vos Construction in 1951. His grandson and current president, Dan Vos, started working for the company when he was 14 years old. \u201cMy dad simply asked me one summer if I wanted to make some money,\u201d he said. Vos already had some experience building things for fun. He said he was always building tree forts and doing other tasks that allowed him to work with his hands. At his grandfather\u2019s construction company, Vos\u2019 first \u201creal\u201d project was building a house for his sister who was getting married the same year. He said every summer after that, every Christmas break and every day off from school, he was working. Vos studied construction management at Ferris State University before working full time at Dan Vos Construction in 1995. He started working in the field with carpentry, steel erection and other general trade skills. He also ran a few jobs as a foreman. \u201cThen they dragged me into the office,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t really want to go into the office, but there was an opportunity to be an estimator.\u201d Vos said his transition from fieldwork to office work was one of the better changes for him because it helped him prepare for future leadership positions. He was an estimator for two years, or \u201ceight months too long,\u201d by his standards. \u201cI guess I was a little too ADD for it,\u201d he said. He then moved into project management, which he said was probably his favorite position because of the \u201cvariety\u201d it offered. Managing different projects gave him the chance to learn about different people\u2019s businesses. His company works primarily with food grade manufacturers, such as ice cream, noodles and turkey processing plants, as well as some industrial clients. \u201cYou learn about each one of those businesses and how they operate,\u201d Vos said. \u201cYou take a live turkey in this door and it comes frozen out that door, and you have an active role in that from point A to point B.\u201d Five years ago, he assumed the role of president and CEO of the company from his father, Gary Vos, who was CEO, and Gordon DeYoung, who was president at the time. Under Vos, the company has experienced steady growth in revenue. In the past, the company generated around $50 million to $60 million annually and retained about 60 employees, which Vos said was the trend for a long time before he took over.<\/p>\n<p>Under his grandfather, the company earned about $10 million to $20 million. \u201cMy dad had more of a teamwork attitude than my grandpa did,\u201d Vos said. \u201cWe grew quite a bit when my dad took over.\u201d The company is slated to earn over $80 million in project revenue by the end of 2017, which Vos said follows a trend of steady growth from the past five years. The same trend applies to employment. The company now has 94 full-time employees and recently added another project manager, civil engineer, several field workers and steel erectors. The company also has its own design department, which Vos said is unique for a general contractor. Their area of operation spans West Michigan as far north as Big Rapids, as far south as Kalamazoo and west into the Lakeshore area. \u201cFor the area that we have, for our demographic, I think it\u2019s a pretty good market share. I\u2019m pretty pleased with it,\u201d Vos said. A few years ago, the company tossed around the idea of expanding its area of operations out of state, into Indiana and Ohio, where companies were looking for design\/build jobs totaling $5 million to $8 million. The company chose to turn them down because it didn\u2019t have the resources to manage a project from that distance. \u201cOur guys don\u2019t like to travel. We don\u2019t like our guys to travel. I\u2019d rather have them home with their families at night, so we\u2019re pretty happy where we\u2019re at,\u201d Vos said. Dan Vos Construction received the MCOY for the fourth time under Vos\u2019 leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Vos attributes the success of his company to the quality of his employees. \u201cWe don\u2019t really try to win every year,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not one of our strategic plans to win the MCOY every year. It more or less just happens.\u201d The ASAM awards the MCOY to contractors based on bid ethics, safety, job site supervision, communication administrative procedures and several other criteria to encourage the best practices in the industry. At the 2017-18 MCOY Awards, Vos told the Business Journal that ASAM has \u201craised the bar\u201d for his industry as a whole. \u201cSuccess for me is a happy employee,\u201d Vos said. \u201cRegardless of how much money we\u2019re making \u2026 I want our people to be happy. \u2026 If they\u2019re happy at home, they\u2019re happy here, and that produces a better product.\u201d Vos estimates about 96 percent of his company\u2019s work is repeat business with previous clients. For the future, Vos said, he\u2019s not trying to make any drastic changes in how the company operates. What\u2019s important to him is staying rooted in the same Christian ethics and the foundation on which his company was founded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2017\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-921 timeline type-timeline status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__img ee-post__thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/awarded-3rd-mcoy-award\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/201520Oct203rd20MCOY20Award20Staff-1-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-954\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/201520Oct203rd20MCOY20Award20Staff-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/201520Oct203rd20MCOY20Award20Staff-1.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2015\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/awarded-3rd-mcoy-award\/\">Awarded 3rd MCOY for 2015\/2016<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><h4>It\u2019s all about treating people well<\/h4>\n<p class=\"sub-headline\">Relationships have built Dan Vos Construction since 1951, and there\u2019s no end in sight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" src=\"\/History Timeline\/2015 Oct 3rd MCOY Award Dan Vos accepts.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" src=\"\/History Timeline\/2015 Oct 3rd MCOY Award Michigan Contractor of the Year.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"body\">\n<p class=\"EDIT\" style=\"text-indent: 0in;\">Dan Vos likes to point out the buildings built by Dan Vos Construction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">It\u2019s gotten to the point his wife is getting sick of it, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cI\u2019m proud of all of them \u2014 especially the ones I\u2019ve personally been involved in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">And Vos has been involved in a lot. He\u2019s worked at Dan Vos Construction \u2014 a company his grandfather started in 1951 \u2014 since he was 14. Vos worked summers and during vacations until he graduated from Ferris State University with a degree in construction management and joined the company full time in 1995.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Since then, he\u2019s worked his way from carpenter to foreman to estimator to project manager, and now, at 40, he is the president. Through all that time, he\u2019s worked on ensuring the foundation Dan Vos Construction was built on will always be there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">The integrity upon which the company is based was a key reason Vos\u2019 grandfather \u2014 a one-time celery farmer in Lowell \u2014 ended up building such a successful construction company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cHe started building stuff for his friends in the offseason and made money doing it,\u201d Vos said. \u201cHis relationships grew and his reputation for honest and high-integrity work grew, and that\u2019s just the way he was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Treating employees and clients well is something Vos said will always be part of the business plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">The way Dan Vos Construction treats its subcontractors isn\u2019t lost on the construction community. The company won its third Michigan Contractor of the Year award from the American Subcontractors Association of Michigan this month. The MCOY awards started six years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Vos said receiving the award is a byproduct of the company\u2019s standards, but when the team didn\u2019t place in the top three MCOY winners last year, he made it a point to figure out why and get better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWe don\u2019t set out to be an award-winner,\u201d Vos said. \u201cLast year, we tried to figure out where we were weak and what we could improve on. It\u2019s just doing what we do \u2014 what we\u2019ve always done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Treating people well starts with the company\u2019s employees, something Vos said he focuses on in his day-to-day job. He said he likes to read the anonymous surveys turned in for the 101 Best and Brightest Companies because they often read, \u201cFamily, Family, Family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">He said putting family first is a reason Dan Vos Construction hasn\u2019t grown like some other West Michigan construction firms. Vos said the company has turned down some projects in Iowa and Indiana that were in its \u201cwheelhouse\u201d because they didn\u2019t fit within the firm\u2019s values.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWe try to stay close to home. I like our guys to be home at night with their families,\u201d he said, adding the firm\u2019s territory stretches from Kalamazoo to Big Rapids and from the lakeshore to Lansing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cTraveling could get us more jobs, but we\u2019re a family-oriented company and travel is not conducive to that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cIt makes people happy and productive at work. The client will get a better product because we have happy people building projects, and that generates better relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Vos mentioned most construction companies in West Michigan also operate under the \u201cmaintaining strong relationships\u201d motto, unlike some East Coast companies that \u201cchurn and burn\u201d in survival mode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWest Michigan is very different,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re very isolated from the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Vos does envy other firms\u2019 projects from time to time, but then he remembers he has the same opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWe all have our pet clients we work with,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there are some nice projects around that would have been nice to have a shot at. I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s jealousy, but it keeps you on your toes and keeps you going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">For Dan Vos Construction, the strong relationships run through companies such as Gordon Food Service, Bissell, Wolverine World Wide and Hudsonville Ice Cream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Gordon Food Service\u2019s new headquarters, completed in 2012, is one project the company hangs its hat on. It helped the company double its annual revenue in 2012 and 2013, before it returned to average numbers again last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cThose years, we had GFS and two or three other large anchor jobs,\u201d Vos said. \u201cThose don\u2019t come around much for us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cThat was a big morale booster for us. It was our turn to have a big job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Every job might not be a big-money opportunity, but each one is important, he said, and with every new project comes a new learning experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cThat\u2019s one thing I love about this job: Every project we do, we learn a little bit about what other people do,\u201d he said. \u201cWe could learn how to process turkeys one day and be at a church committee meeting the next night and a hair studio the next morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cIt\u2019s the other people\u2019s lives we\u2019re building for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Dan Vos Construction\u2019s relationships helped it move through the Great Recession without too much pain, Vos said.

Vos becomes President as third generation<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><p>Gordon DeYoung, President retired after 11 years of leadership at Dan Vos Construction Co. Dan T. Vos, grandson of company founder Daniel R. Vos, is stepping in to lead the company after serving as executive vice president. DeYoung spent 47 years with the company, first as a laborer then rising through the company ranks to take over as president in July of 2001. Not long after he started as president, DeYoung remembers leading the company through the tragedy of Sept. 11 that same year, then later through the economic downturn and recessions years. Throughout that challenges, the company remained profitable, DeYoung said. &ldquo;I go back to 2008 and 2009 and a lot companies couldn&rsquo;t stay in the black,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t take all the credit because there were a lot of great people behind me, but coming out of that, the company actually grew in 2009 and in 2010.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Keeping people gainfully employed and not cutting wagers or benefits is the biggest accomplishment that anybody could ask for, he said. &ldquo;Gordy is one that you have learn by watching,&rdquo; said Dan T. Vos. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve worked closely over the last two years, and I&rsquo;ve picked up on things he does and doesn&rsquo;t and what he pays attention to.&rdquo; DeYoung comes from a more conservative school of doing business, while the younger Vos said he is a bit more aggressive when it comes to company leadership. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve always balanced each other out,&rdquo; Vos said. &ldquo;We always tended to meet in the middle.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>Going forward, Vos said he wants to continue bolstering the company&rsquo;s core values, to pursue more work and to address areas in the company that need improvement. &ldquo;When I look at the future of this company and the young team it has, I see a lot of great things and a lot of opportunity to increase revenue,&rdquo; DeYoung said. The company is nearing completion on a 15-month-long, 380,000-square-foot project for Gordon Food Service in Grand Rapids as well as a 92,000-square-foot renovation for longtime customer Michigan Turkey Producers, also in Grand Rapids.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <a style=\"height: 20px; width: 40px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; border: medium none; top: 311px; left: 13px; background-image: url(data:image\/png;base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaacgaaaaucayaaad\/rn+7aaadu0leqvr42s2wxuhtyrjhz0vevprfugmtveafuzfhhxbhsotcu5jwbwef1eweevhqx4uffwykfa2bipjixbuta33oxftuuxmzj4bk3nqay7m5nezq6h\/tpq+xu20zugjoxr\/+7\/o8539+5znnwmtntexwjtmb3l\/filv3botcsmujecaejtob39aifothfhxcfirhy8rkszjbsckjcoirmffshd\/ssbexuypni8dr0dgugjsb0byhejp5uqg5ctszc2cqlejbmej9\/ywbcgrkjek9dqqouevqt1sk444ywi9uonmtjgqauvleilha9x8lambj8sspp0rwkgmvvg8p46vbg0c7na8z8jsmcghe7jlea+edrhily8n\/tumfu6evlelk+u0wtgwrtrdfagqf5j8iik4lvzdu28t8jtmsocf8e+l68myanfxm\/6rxsllk7ay5tounurvzwpjuvwayjuatpoiwoquuaz219rtaxkyp9bbjycon5fvl9qh9tbx5rvogdjythvxystxdtrnwylo\/zdqrlsgwszzhwq593z2klawcycqsszj6ehz0w7bd9vblgn0ncqr3qr7r2rbrl3pu3sb\/7ndlz2uy6cg0oxk0gtbzxznp8trspaqdtj6frlwzn2dcxzgkqqamh8nj6rpyhe+pnkcr\/cafdzyvpfpjuvkiflf9wit1wwlo0ohie1rvwrka93rjzfzlitzpkz3ltb0\/tevmwp14wgughazsoouewfaolfaabsuhnslprkjexujtz6v5htuelswl33n1bgey5fvhs9sj3fait+qyyyvoaqjud0kbafrtjnauz5\/s3gjgmbhmjwrvfrthm5ty5zuf\/a4x1f2fvqtrlcubreoim0ymabqnjryvpexeeq46kandkq\/1hcncbjkps9zsv2vhgfwsz2hfkhkafr8\/pdxwkx4wwd69pmvfnsol+lr2w+gyqhpwdtxt1xq8amlwu0e1lqld\/aprhop8ajqwrqg9gyxcpmsvsjuvaa4mdktuj7mzlavy8v+qt21tcdx\/oemepr0rtknrur4a6pp5xcgbsl+\/x4wiqdpuuvxoel1emymyedy6sop0z+b0ouhxeeqhxkjmfosjiso\/uinoi\/8pc+l7kkarat8aaaaasuvork5cyii=); background-color: transparent;\" href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/extension\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2012\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-913 timeline type-timeline status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__img ee-post__thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/completion-of-gordon-food-service-home-office-in-wyoming-mi\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-300x213.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-37491\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed.jpg 1520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2012\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/completion-of-gordon-food-service-home-office-in-wyoming-mi\/\">Completion of Gordon Food Service Home Office in Wyoming, MI<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><p style=\"margin-left: 0.5in;\">\n<p>The Home Office was one of our largest, signature projects to date with a forward-looking vision.The Gordon Food Service \u201cHome Office\u201d, located at 1300 Gezon Parkway in Wyoming, Michigan broke ground in September 2011.

Vos was tapped by Amway co-founder Jay Van Andel in 1979 to lead the reconstruction of Ada&rsquo;s historic covered bridge after the structure burned in an arson fire on Sept. 9, 1979. <\/p>\n<p>He recalled the story last summer during an interview with The Press for a weekly history series called West Michiagn Place of the Week. Vos was called by Van Andel the morning after the bridge was destroyed. &ldquo;(Jay) said, &lsquo;Dan, start getting things lined up.

Vos, Founder of Dan Vos Construction Company (DVCC)<\/p>\n<p>It is because of character that DVCC is able to say that it\u2019s been fortunate to hold the title of Contractor of the Year (COTY). Honored by the American Subcontractors Association of West Michigan (ASAM), the COTY award was created in order to give ASAM membership an opportunity to nominate and recognize general contractors or construction managers who exhibit best practices, professionalism and collaboration with Michigan\u2019s subcontracting community. In being named by the ASAM, DVCC notes that the COTY award was given by those who work the closest with the company and often know it best: its subcontractors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t be successful without our subcontractors,\u201d said Dan Vos, Executive Vice President of DVCC. \u201cWinning this award is an honest demonstration of how highly we place our relationship with our subcontractors; they\u2019re a crucial piece of not only every project, but of our company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This COTY award was based on the qualities and practices that DVCC holds to be the most important: <strong>bid ethics and practice, safety, jobsite supervision, communication, schedule coordination, project relations, lien processes, administrative procedures, payment terms and quality workmanship. <\/strong>It wasn&#8217;t based on square footage, LEED building, or the number of projects awarded throughout the year; it was based on the details that DVCC emphasizes every day. The behind-the-scenes, day-to-day details that make all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an honor to be nominated with the other nine nominees of last year\u2019s award ceremony and this year is no different,\u201d said Vos. \u201cWe\u2019ve been incredibly humbled by this experience; this award demonstrates the true values of our company and employees, which are DVCC\u2019s foundation,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey were set in place by my grandfather when he founded the company in 1951, reinforced by my father throughout his career, and they will forever remain our focus throughout the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DVCC has not only been honored, but exceptionally proud of being named 2010\u2019s Contractor of the Year. The company has been able to utilize this title, placing the COTY logo in various advertising campaigns, the company\u2019s Web site and even on job sites, displayed prominently on DVCC hard hats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that we\u2019re proud of,\u201d beamed Vos, \u201cfor our company, for the subcontracting community and for the construction industry as a whole. We want as many people in the region to recognize the meaning of this award and everything it stands for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2010\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-907 timeline type-timeline status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2006\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/dvcc-builds-150th-church\/\">DVCC builds 150th church<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2006\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-905 timeline type-timeline status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2001\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/gordon-deyoung-is-named-president\/\">Gordon DeYoung is named President<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t2001\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-903 timeline type-timeline status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t1995\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/dan-t-vos-begins-working-for-the-company\/\">Dan T.

Vos got to work the morning of Sept. 10, 1979, he knew something the rest of his employees didn\u2019t about the fire that destroyed the Ada covered bridge the night before.<\/p>\n<p>Their company was going to rebuild the icon. Amway co-founder Jay Van Andel had called Vos at home earlier morning with instructions. \u201cHe said, \u2018Dan, start getting things lined up. We\u2019re not going to fiddle around with this,\u2019\u201d said Vos, 93. \u201cI don\u2019t think the ashes were even cold yet. The destruction of Ada\u2019s beloved covered bridge was a gut-punch to a proud community that had just raised $17,000 two months before to rebuild a roof that collapsed after a heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n<p>Dating to 1867, the village\u2019s original covered bridge was the first of a West Michigan trio still standing and had survived flooding scares and 63 years of vehicle traffic before it was set ablaze in what was deemed an arson, although nobody was ever caught.<\/p>\n<p>It was not in perfect shape at the time, but the 112-year-old, 125-foot long Brown Truss-style span over the Thornapple River was a village mainstay; a place for local kids to carve their initials and young lovebirds to smooch underneath. It was originally built by William Holmes and called Bradfield Bridge. It was modeled after New England spans of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Before it was closed to vehicles in 1930, kids would climb into the rafters to scare passing motorists. After the last day of school each year, it was a tradition to go out onto the bridge and dump ink bottles into the river.<\/p>\n<p>The fire reduced a proud village symbol to a smoldering heap, sagging in the river. Village residents wept at the sight. \u201cEverybody had a little bit of their life in that bridge,\u201d said Vos\u2019 niece, Chris Sobota. Vos\u2019 company was not exactly in the bridge-building business. Founded in 1951, the family business specialized in commercial and industrial construction projects. But Van Andel made clear that Vos\u2019 company was the one for the job, he said.<\/p>\n<p>He told Vos that Amway\u2019s role in the project should take a back seat to a community effort, but if the townspeople weren\u2019t able to raise enough money, \u201cwe\u2019ll build it anyway.\u201dNews of an anonymous benefactor leaked out in the ensuing weeks and Amway eventually was credited with the bulk of the financing, but support from others was not lacking.<\/p>\n<div id=\"asset-9805562\" class=\"entry_widget_large entry_widget_left\"><span class=\"adv-photo-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"adv-photo\" src=\"http:\/\/media.mlive.com\/grpress\/news_impact\/photo\/9805562-large.jpg\" alt=\"ADABRIDGE.jpg\" width=\"380\" height=\"321\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The county road commission chipped in. A citizens committee drummed up donations. Schoolchildren gave their nickels and dimes. Companies like Gelock Heavy Movers donated cranes, forklifts and workers for the installation of the finished replica.<\/p>\n<p>According to Press accounts, the bill totaled $92,000. In today\u2019s dollars, such a project may cost more than twice that, said Dan T. Vos, grandson and current company vice president The work was overseen by longtime company foreman John Van Spronsen. Vos found the original plans, and the company created an exact replica out of Douglas fir that slid perfectly into the original footings just before Christmas in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Dan T. Vos said he\u2019s filled with pride whenever he walks though or drives by the historic span with his family. He points out to his son that their family built the structure. His grandfather said a reminder for the community is in order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJay was right \u2014 this bridge is Ada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"adv-photo-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"

timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><p>The Lord&#8217;s work must go on and practically the same group that built the first two rooms were at it again. On April 17, 1953 eighteen men showed up to put in the footings and this dozen and a half men were responsible for nearly all of the work. A total of thirty men helped on these two rooms. From April 17 to July 31 we had thirty four work sessions including in this there were five all day Saturdays of which three were ten hour days, and some of the men were present thirty three of the thirty four work days. Such loyalty is not soon forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>To help finance the school project, wheat crops were planted and the proceeds of the crops were donated to the school. The volunteers planted and harvested the crop for about 3 years. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Gerritt DeGood, the well loved &#8220;SE&#8221; (Sanitary Engineer) and bus driver delivered the children to their homes. It&#8217;s our personal prayer that as our school constituency continues to grow that some of the same love, loyalty, devotion and sacrifice that has been so evident in the founders of the Ada Christian school society may continue in the hearts of the teachers, parents, and pupils for many generations. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/History Timeline\/1953 Ada Christian School Memoir Page.jpg\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" \/><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/extension\/\" style=\"height: 20px;

Vos started Dan Vos Construction in 1951. His grandson and current president, Dan Vos, started working for the company when he was 14 years old. \u201cMy dad simply asked me one summer if I wanted to make some money,\u201d he said. Vos already had some experience building things for fun. He said he was always building tree forts and doing other tasks that allowed him to work with his hands. At his grandfather\u2019s construction company, Vos\u2019 first \u201creal\u201d project was building a house for his sister who was getting married the same year. He said every summer after that, every Christmas break and every day off from school, he was working. Vos studied construction management at Ferris State University before working full time at Dan Vos Construction in 1995. He started working in the field with carpentry, steel erection and other general trade skills. He also ran a few jobs as a foreman. \u201cThen they dragged me into the office,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t really want to go into the office, but there was an opportunity to be an estimator.\u201d Vos said his transition from fieldwork to office work was one of the better changes for him because it helped him prepare for future leadership positions. He was an estimator for two years, or \u201ceight months too long,\u201d by his standards. \u201cI guess I was a little too ADD for it,\u201d he said. He then moved into project management, which he said was probably his favorite position because of the \u201cvariety\u201d it offered. Managing different projects gave him the chance to learn about different people\u2019s businesses. His company works primarily with food grade manufacturers, such as ice cream, noodles and turkey processing plants, as well as some industrial clients. \u201cYou learn about each one of those businesses and how they operate,\u201d Vos said. \u201cYou take a live turkey in this door and it comes frozen out that door, and you have an active role in that from point A to point B.\u201d Five years ago, he assumed the role of president and CEO of the company from his father, Gary Vos, who was CEO, and Gordon DeYoung, who was president at the time. Under Vos, the company has experienced steady growth in revenue. In the past, the company generated around $50 million to $60 million annually and retained about 60 employees, which Vos said was the trend for a long time before he took over.<\/p>\n<p>Under his grandfather, the company earned about $10 million to $20 million. \u201cMy dad had more of a teamwork attitude than my grandpa did,\u201d Vos said. \u201cWe grew quite a bit when my dad took over.\u201d The company is slated to earn over $80 million in project revenue by the end of 2017, which Vos said follows a trend of steady growth from the past five years. The same trend applies to employment. The company now has 94 full-time employees and recently added another project manager, civil engineer, several field workers and steel erectors. The company also has its own design department, which Vos said is unique for a general contractor. Their area of operation spans West Michigan as far north as Big Rapids, as far south as Kalamazoo and west into the Lakeshore area. \u201cFor the area that we have, for our demographic, I think it\u2019s a pretty good market share. I\u2019m pretty pleased with it,\u201d Vos said. A few years ago, the company tossed around the idea of expanding its area of operations out of state, into Indiana and Ohio, where companies were looking for design\/build jobs totaling $5 million to $8 million. The company chose to turn them down because it didn\u2019t have the resources to manage a project from that distance. \u201cOur guys don\u2019t like to travel. We don\u2019t like our guys to travel. I\u2019d rather have them home with their families at night, so we\u2019re pretty happy where we\u2019re at,\u201d Vos said. Dan Vos Construction received the MCOY for the fourth time under Vos\u2019 leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Vos attributes the success of his company to the quality of his employees. \u201cWe don\u2019t really try to win every year,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not one of our strategic plans to win the MCOY every year. It more or less just happens.\u201d The ASAM awards the MCOY to contractors based on bid ethics, safety, job site supervision, communication administrative procedures and several other criteria to encourage the best practices in the industry. At the 2017-18 MCOY Awards, Vos told the Business Journal that ASAM has \u201craised the bar\u201d for his industry as a whole. \u201cSuccess for me is a happy employee,\u201d Vos said. \u201cRegardless of how much money we\u2019re making \u2026 I want our people to be happy. \u2026 If they\u2019re happy at home, they\u2019re happy here, and that produces a better product.\u201d Vos estimates about 96 percent of his company\u2019s work is repeat business with previous clients. For the future, Vos said, he\u2019s not trying to make any drastic changes in how the company operates. What\u2019s important to him is staying rooted in the same Christian ethics and the foundation on which his company was founded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSeptember 2017\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-921 timeline type-timeline status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__img ee-post__thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/awarded-3rd-mcoy-award\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/201520Oct203rd20MCOY20Award20Staff-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-954\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/201520Oct203rd20MCOY20Award20Staff-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/201520Oct203rd20MCOY20Award20Staff-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tOctober 2015\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/awarded-3rd-mcoy-award\/\">Awarded 3rd MCOY for 2015\/2016<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><h4>It\u2019s all about treating people well<\/h4>\n<p class=\"sub-headline\">Relationships have built Dan Vos Construction since 1951, and there\u2019s no end in sight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" src=\"\/History Timeline\/2015 Oct 3rd MCOY Award Dan Vos accepts.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" src=\"\/History Timeline\/2015 Oct 3rd MCOY Award Michigan Contractor of the Year.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"body\">\n<p class=\"EDIT\" style=\"text-indent: 0in;\">Dan Vos likes to point out the buildings built by Dan Vos Construction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">It\u2019s gotten to the point his wife is getting sick of it, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cI\u2019m proud of all of them \u2014 especially the ones I\u2019ve personally been involved in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">And Vos has been involved in a lot. He\u2019s worked at Dan Vos Construction \u2014 a company his grandfather started in 1951 \u2014 since he was 14. Vos worked summers and during vacations until he graduated from Ferris State University with a degree in construction management and joined the company full time in 1995.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Since then, he\u2019s worked his way from carpenter to foreman to estimator to project manager, and now, at 40, he is the president. Through all that time, he\u2019s worked on ensuring the foundation Dan Vos Construction was built on will always be there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">The integrity upon which the company is based was a key reason Vos\u2019 grandfather \u2014 a one-time celery farmer in Lowell \u2014 ended up building such a successful construction company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cHe started building stuff for his friends in the offseason and made money doing it,\u201d Vos said. \u201cHis relationships grew and his reputation for honest and high-integrity work grew, and that\u2019s just the way he was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Treating employees and clients well is something Vos said will always be part of the business plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">The way Dan Vos Construction treats its subcontractors isn\u2019t lost on the construction community. The company won its third Michigan Contractor of the Year award from the American Subcontractors Association of Michigan this month. The MCOY awards started six years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Vos said receiving the award is a byproduct of the company\u2019s standards, but when the team didn\u2019t place in the top three MCOY winners last year, he made it a point to figure out why and get better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWe don\u2019t set out to be an award-winner,\u201d Vos said. \u201cLast year, we tried to figure out where we were weak and what we could improve on. It\u2019s just doing what we do \u2014 what we\u2019ve always done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Treating people well starts with the company\u2019s employees, something Vos said he focuses on in his day-to-day job. He said he likes to read the anonymous surveys turned in for the 101 Best and Brightest Companies because they often read, \u201cFamily, Family, Family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">He said putting family first is a reason Dan Vos Construction hasn\u2019t grown like some other West Michigan construction firms. Vos said the company has turned down some projects in Iowa and Indiana that were in its \u201cwheelhouse\u201d because they didn\u2019t fit within the firm\u2019s values.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWe try to stay close to home. I like our guys to be home at night with their families,\u201d he said, adding the firm\u2019s territory stretches from Kalamazoo to Big Rapids and from the lakeshore to Lansing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cTraveling could get us more jobs, but we\u2019re a family-oriented company and travel is not conducive to that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cIt makes people happy and productive at work. The client will get a better product because we have happy people building projects, and that generates better relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Vos mentioned most construction companies in West Michigan also operate under the \u201cmaintaining strong relationships\u201d motto, unlike some East Coast companies that \u201cchurn and burn\u201d in survival mode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWest Michigan is very different,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re very isolated from the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Vos does envy other firms\u2019 projects from time to time, but then he remembers he has the same opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cWe all have our pet clients we work with,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there are some nice projects around that would have been nice to have a shot at. I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s jealousy, but it keeps you on your toes and keeps you going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">For Dan Vos Construction, the strong relationships run through companies such as Gordon Food Service, Bissell, Wolverine World Wide and Hudsonville Ice Cream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Gordon Food Service\u2019s new headquarters, completed in 2012, is one project the company hangs its hat on. It helped the company double its annual revenue in 2012 and 2013, before it returned to average numbers again last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cThose years, we had GFS and two or three other large anchor jobs,\u201d Vos said. \u201cThose don\u2019t come around much for us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cThat was a big morale booster for us. It was our turn to have a big job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Every job might not be a big-money opportunity, but each one is important, he said, and with every new project comes a new learning experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cThat\u2019s one thing I love about this job: Every project we do, we learn a little bit about what other people do,\u201d he said. \u201cWe could learn how to process turkeys one day and be at a church committee meeting the next night and a hair studio the next morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">\u201cIt\u2019s the other people\u2019s lives we\u2019re building for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"EDIT\">Dan Vos Construction\u2019s relationships helped it move through the Great Recession without too much pain, Vos said.

Vos becomes President as third generation<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><p>Gordon DeYoung, President retired after 11 years of leadership at Dan Vos Construction Co. Dan T. Vos, grandson of company founder Daniel R. Vos, is stepping in to lead the company after serving as executive vice president. DeYoung spent 47 years with the company, first as a laborer then rising through the company ranks to take over as president in July of 2001. Not long after he started as president, DeYoung remembers leading the company through the tragedy of Sept. 11 that same year, then later through the economic downturn and recessions years. Throughout that challenges, the company remained profitable, DeYoung said. &ldquo;I go back to 2008 and 2009 and a lot companies couldn&rsquo;t stay in the black,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t take all the credit because there were a lot of great people behind me, but coming out of that, the company actually grew in 2009 and in 2010.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Keeping people gainfully employed and not cutting wagers or benefits is the biggest accomplishment that anybody could ask for, he said. &ldquo;Gordy is one that you have learn by watching,&rdquo; said Dan T. Vos. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve worked closely over the last two years, and I&rsquo;ve picked up on things he does and doesn&rsquo;t and what he pays attention to.&rdquo; DeYoung comes from a more conservative school of doing business, while the younger Vos said he is a bit more aggressive when it comes to company leadership. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve always balanced each other out,&rdquo; Vos said. &ldquo;We always tended to meet in the middle.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>Going forward, Vos said he wants to continue bolstering the company&rsquo;s core values, to pursue more work and to address areas in the company that need improvement. &ldquo;When I look at the future of this company and the young team it has, I see a lot of great things and a lot of opportunity to increase revenue,&rdquo; DeYoung said. The company is nearing completion on a 15-month-long, 380,000-square-foot project for Gordon Food Service in Grand Rapids as well as a 92,000-square-foot renovation for longtime customer Michigan Turkey Producers, also in Grand Rapids.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <a style=\"height: 20px; width: 40px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; border: medium none; top: 311px; left: 13px; background-image: url(data:image\/png;base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaacgaaaaucayaaad\/rn+7aaadu0leqvr42s2wxuhtyrjhz0vevprfugmtveafuzfhhxbhsotcu5jwbwef1eweevhqx4uffwykfa2bipjixbuta33oxftuuxmzj4bk3nqay7m5nezq6h\/tpq+xu20zugjoxr\/+7\/o8539+5znnwmtntexwjtmb3l\/filv3botcsmujecaejtob39aifothfhxcfirhy8rkszjbsckjcoirmffshd\/ssbexuypni8dr0dgugjsb0byhejp5uqg5ctszc2cqlejbmej9\/ywbcgrkjek9dqqouevqt1sk444ywi9uonmtjgqauvleilha9x8lambj8sspp0rwkgmvvg8p46vbg0c7na8z8jsmcghe7jlea+edrhily8n\/tumfu6evlelk+u0wtgwrtrdfagqf5j8iik4lvzdu28t8jtmsocf8e+l68myanfxm\/6rxsllk7ay5tounurvzwpjuvwayjuatpoiwoquuaz219rtaxkyp9bbjycon5fvl9qh9tbx5rvogdjythvxystxdtrnwylo\/zdqrlsgwszzhwq593z2klawcycqsszj6ehz0w7bd9vblgn0ncqr3qr7r2rbrl3pu3sb\/7ndlz2uy6cg0oxk0gtbzxznp8trspaqdtj6frlwzn2dcxzgkqqamh8nj6rpyhe+pnkcr\/cafdzyvpfpjuvkiflf9wit1wwlo0ohie1rvwrka93rjzfzlitzpkz3ltb0\/tevmwp14wgughazsoouewfaolfaabsuhnslprkjexujtz6v5htuelswl33n1bgey5fvhs9sj3fait+qyyyvoaqjud0kbafrtjnauz5\/s3gjgmbhmjwrvfrthm5ty5zuf\/a4x1f2fvqtrlcubreoim0ymabqnjryvpexeeq46kandkq\/1hcncbjkps9zsv2vhgfwsz2hfkhkafr8\/pdxwkx4wwd69pmvfnsol+lr2w+gyqhpwdtxt1xq8amlwu0e1lqld\/aprhop8ajqwrqg9gyxcpmsvsjuvaa4mdktuj7mzlavy8v+qt21tcdx\/oemepr0rtknrur4a6pp5xcgbsl+\/x4wiqdpuuvxoel1emymyedy6sop0z+b0ouhxeeqhxkjmfosjiso\/uinoi\/8pc+l7kkarat8aaaaasuvork5cyii=); background-color: transparent;\" href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/extension\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSeptember 2012\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-913 timeline type-timeline status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__img ee-post__thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/completion-of-gordon-food-service-home-office-in-wyoming-mi\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-1024x728.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-37491\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/GordonFoodServiceExteriormed.jpg 1520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2012\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/completion-of-gordon-food-service-home-office-in-wyoming-mi\/\">Completion of Gordon Food Service Home Office in Wyoming, MI<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><p style=\"margin-left: 0.5in;\">\n<p>The Home Office was one of our largest, signature projects to date with a forward-looking vision.The Gordon Food Service \u201cHome Office\u201d, located at 1300 Gezon Parkway in Wyoming, Michigan broke ground in September 2011.

Vos was tapped by Amway co-founder Jay Van Andel in 1979 to lead the reconstruction of Ada&rsquo;s historic covered bridge after the structure burned in an arson fire on Sept. 9, 1979. <\/p>\n<p>He recalled the story last summer during an interview with The Press for a weekly history series called West Michiagn Place of the Week. Vos was called by Van Andel the morning after the bridge was destroyed. &ldquo;(Jay) said, &lsquo;Dan, start getting things lined up.

Vos, Founder of Dan Vos Construction Company (DVCC)<\/p>\n<p>It is because of character that DVCC is able to say that it\u2019s been fortunate to hold the title of Contractor of the Year (COTY). Honored by the American Subcontractors Association of West Michigan (ASAM), the COTY award was created in order to give ASAM membership an opportunity to nominate and recognize general contractors or construction managers who exhibit best practices, professionalism and collaboration with Michigan\u2019s subcontracting community. In being named by the ASAM, DVCC notes that the COTY award was given by those who work the closest with the company and often know it best: its subcontractors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t be successful without our subcontractors,\u201d said Dan Vos, Executive Vice President of DVCC. \u201cWinning this award is an honest demonstration of how highly we place our relationship with our subcontractors; they\u2019re a crucial piece of not only every project, but of our company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This COTY award was based on the qualities and practices that DVCC holds to be the most important: <strong>bid ethics and practice, safety, jobsite supervision, communication, schedule coordination, project relations, lien processes, administrative procedures, payment terms and quality workmanship. <\/strong>It wasn&#8217;t based on square footage, LEED building, or the number of projects awarded throughout the year; it was based on the details that DVCC emphasizes every day. The behind-the-scenes, day-to-day details that make all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an honor to be nominated with the other nine nominees of last year\u2019s award ceremony and this year is no different,\u201d said Vos. \u201cWe\u2019ve been incredibly humbled by this experience; this award demonstrates the true values of our company and employees, which are DVCC\u2019s foundation,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey were set in place by my grandfather when he founded the company in 1951, reinforced by my father throughout his career, and they will forever remain our focus throughout the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DVCC has not only been honored, but exceptionally proud of being named 2010\u2019s Contractor of the Year. The company has been able to utilize this title, placing the COTY logo in various advertising campaigns, the company\u2019s Web site and even on job sites, displayed prominently on DVCC hard hats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that we\u2019re proud of,\u201d beamed Vos, \u201cfor our company, for the subcontracting community and for the construction industry as a whole. We want as many people in the region to recognize the meaning of this award and everything it stands for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2010\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-907 timeline type-timeline status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2006\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/dvcc-builds-150th-church\/\">DVCC builds 150th church<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2006\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-905 timeline type-timeline status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2001\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/gordon-deyoung-is-named-president\/\">Gordon DeYoung is named President<\/a>\t\t<\/h2><div class=\"timeline-item__excerpt timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__card__arrow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 2001\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ee-timeline__item timeline-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ee-icon ee-icon-support--svg ee-timeline__item__icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card post-903 timeline type-timeline status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__content-wrapper\"><div class=\"timeline-item__content\"><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 1995\t\t\t\t<\/div><h2 class=\"timeline-item__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/danvosconstruction.com\/timeline\/dan-t-vos-begins-working-for-the-company\/\">Dan T.

Vos got to work the morning of Sept. 10, 1979, he knew something the rest of his employees didn\u2019t about the fire that destroyed the Ada covered bridge the night before.<\/p>\n<p>Their company was going to rebuild the icon. Amway co-founder Jay Van Andel had called Vos at home earlier morning with instructions. \u201cHe said, \u2018Dan, start getting things lined up. We\u2019re not going to fiddle around with this,\u2019\u201d said Vos, 93. \u201cI don\u2019t think the ashes were even cold yet. The destruction of Ada\u2019s beloved covered bridge was a gut-punch to a proud community that had just raised $17,000 two months before to rebuild a roof that collapsed after a heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n<p>Dating to 1867, the village\u2019s original covered bridge was the first of a West Michigan trio still standing and had survived flooding scares and 63 years of vehicle traffic before it was set ablaze in what was deemed an arson, although nobody was ever caught.<\/p>\n<p>It was not in perfect shape at the time, but the 112-year-old, 125-foot long Brown Truss-style span over the Thornapple River was a village mainstay; a place for local kids to carve their initials and young lovebirds to smooch underneath. It was originally built by William Holmes and called Bradfield Bridge. It was modeled after New England spans of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Before it was closed to vehicles in 1930, kids would climb into the rafters to scare passing motorists. After the last day of school each year, it was a tradition to go out onto the bridge and dump ink bottles into the river.<\/p>\n<p>The fire reduced a proud village symbol to a smoldering heap, sagging in the river. Village residents wept at the sight. \u201cEverybody had a little bit of their life in that bridge,\u201d said Vos\u2019 niece, Chris Sobota. Vos\u2019 company was not exactly in the bridge-building business. Founded in 1951, the family business specialized in commercial and industrial construction projects. But Van Andel made clear that Vos\u2019 company was the one for the job, he said.<\/p>\n<p>He told Vos that Amway\u2019s role in the project should take a back seat to a community effort, but if the townspeople weren\u2019t able to raise enough money, \u201cwe\u2019ll build it anyway.\u201dNews of an anonymous benefactor leaked out in the ensuing weeks and Amway eventually was credited with the bulk of the financing, but support from others was not lacking.<\/p>\n<div id=\"asset-9805562\" class=\"entry_widget_large entry_widget_left\"><span class=\"adv-photo-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"adv-photo\" src=\"http:\/\/media.mlive.com\/grpress\/news_impact\/photo\/9805562-large.jpg\" alt=\"ADABRIDGE.jpg\" width=\"380\" height=\"321\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The county road commission chipped in. A citizens committee drummed up donations. Schoolchildren gave their nickels and dimes. Companies like Gelock Heavy Movers donated cranes, forklifts and workers for the installation of the finished replica.<\/p>\n<p>According to Press accounts, the bill totaled $92,000. In today\u2019s dollars, such a project may cost more than twice that, said Dan T. Vos, grandson and current company vice president The work was overseen by longtime company foreman John Van Spronsen. Vos found the original plans, and the company created an exact replica out of Douglas fir that slid perfectly into the original footings just before Christmas in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Dan T. Vos said he\u2019s filled with pride whenever he walks though or drives by the historic span with his family. He points out to his son that their family built the structure. His grandfather said a reminder for the community is in order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJay was right \u2014 this bridge is Ada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"adv-photo-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"

timeline-item__excerpt--content\"><p>The Lord&#8217;s work must go on and practically the same group that built the first two rooms were at it again. On April 17, 1953 eighteen men showed up to put in the footings and this dozen and a half men were responsible for nearly all of the work. A total of thirty men helped on these two rooms. From April 17 to July 31 we had thirty four work sessions including in this there were five all day Saturdays of which three were ten hour days, and some of the men were present thirty three of the thirty four work days. Such loyalty is not soon forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>To help finance the school project, wheat crops were planted and the proceeds of the crops were donated to the school. The volunteers planted and harvested the crop for about 3 years. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Gerritt DeGood, the well loved &#8220;SE&#8221; (Sanitary Engineer) and bus driver delivered the children to their homes. It&#8217;s our personal prayer that as our school constituency continues to grow that some of the same love, loyalty, devotion and sacrifice that has been so evident in the founders of the Ada Christian school society may continue in the hearts of the teachers, parents, and pupils for many generations. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/History Timeline\/1953 Ada Christian School Memoir Page.jpg\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" \/><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/extension\/\" style=\"height: 20px;
