The Velocity Standard
Strong projects come from clear communication, organized execution, and a respectful work environment. By operating with integrity, honesty, and transparency, we follow through on what we say we’re going to do—every time.
Our Story
Dustin and Richard have been friends for over 35 years and have 25 years of experience working in the single-family rental space. With a shared approach to how projects should be run, they saw an opportunity to apply what they had learned and do things their own way. We built Velocity with a focus on professionalism and financial responsibility—two things we felt were often missing in construction. Our goal was simple: create a company where employees feel secure, partners are paid reliably, and customers can trust the outcome.
In an industry known for its cycles, we believe in operating with discipline. That means planning ahead, managing responsibly, and building a business that can support the customers, employees and suppliers who depend on it.
