Pre-engineered metal building

VP Command®

Possibilities take shape when teams can see further together.

Better building decisions start with better visibility.

When teams can see the impact of decisions earlier, the work gets better. The project takes shape with full visibility, every design decision is informed by real information about cost, schedule and structure, and the work moves from concept to quote at the speed of the project itself. VP Command is the proprietary software platform that changed the pre-engineered metal building industry and remains one of the most comprehensive technology platforms in it, helping everyone involved in the project stay connected throughout the building process with greater visibility into how ideas, changes and requirements shape the project as it evolves.

What VP Command makes possible.

Pricing, design, detailing and drawing generation all happen in one environment, so the work moves through every stage without losing time to disconnected systems or information that gets dropped along the way. A quote that takes the industry 7 to 10 days only takes 24 to 48 hours with VP Command. It's the only platform in pre-engineered metal building that brings all of this together in one connected system, refined over more than 30 years by the people who use it every day.

Built for what other software can't handle.

Up to 47 building shapes in a single file. Member-level customization down to individual holes and plates. Detailed control over framing, bracing, doors, windows, overhangs and crane configurations. VP Command handles the complexity that defeats most pre-engineered platforms, without forcing the design into a standard mold.

Integrates with standard industry tools.

Industry integration is foundational to VP Command. The platform exports directly to IFC for BIM workflows, plus RAM, RISA 3D, ATLAS JSON and DWG. Project information moves cleanly into Revit, Tekla and SketchUp, so the team working in those tools picks up exactly where VP Command left off.

Designed for full builder control.

From the first quote to the final fabrication file, a builder working in VP Command has the speed and control to handle a project from start to finish. The platform makes it possible to put together a custom design for a client on the spot, generate a quote in 24 to 48 hours, and turn that design directly into the files needed to fabricate the building.

The builders who care, behind every project.

The builders who put up your VP building aren't subcontractors who showed up to a stranger's job. They're the passionate network we've shaped over decades, with the skills, experience and local roots to do the work right.

FAQs

What is VP Command?

VP Command is Varco Pruden's proprietary technology that helps architects, builders and owners evaluate ideas, coordinate decisions and move projects forward with greater visibility. It connects pricing, design, detailing and drawing generation within a single system to support more informed decision-making throughout the building process.

VP Command is the only system in the PEMB industry that integrates pricing, design, detailing and drawing generation within one connected environment. This allows teams to evaluate changes and understand project impacts in real time without moving between disconnected systems.

Yes. VP Command supports BIM-driven coordination and IFC exports that can be used within Revit, Tekla and SketchUp workflows. This helps project information move more effectively between teams as projects progress from design through execution.

By providing greater visibility into how decisions affect pricing, design and detailing, VP Command helps teams identify and resolve potential challenges earlier in the process. Earlier coordination can reduce downstream surprises and support more confident decision-making.
