About Prost Builders – A Legacy of Craftsmanship in Missouri
Building more than structures—we build trust, relationships, and Missouri’s future.
Vaughn Prost shares the story behind the company’s eight-generation legacy.
Prost Builders has been building across Missouri for more than 75 years — not just spaces, but trust. Our story began in 1949 with a commitment to doing the job right, treating people fairly, and honoring the relationships that make construction work.
Legacy. Pride. Excellence.
These aren’t just words. They’re the lens through which we view our work, our relationships, and our responsibility to the communities we serve. Read Vaughn Prost’s explanation of what those words mean to him on his Bio page.
Our Mission and Vision
At Prost Builders, our values are more than a poster on the wall. They’re a roadmap for how we work — with each other and with our clients. For decades, we’ve guided our team by the principles in our name:
P – Partnering
We believe great projects come from trust, communication, and shared goals between all partners — owner, designer, and builder alike.
R – Resolution
We are committed to quality and dependability, fueled by the experience and professionalism of our employees.
O – Organization
We foster a stable, rewarding workplace that develops leaders in construction and design.
S – Sound
As an employee-owned company, we strive for sustainable growth and meaningful benefits for our team.
T – Total Quality Management
To us, quality means client satisfaction over the entire project life cycle — from design to construction to operation.
These values guide every decision we make — and every partnership we build.
What Sets Prost Builders Apart
We believe that how a project gets built matters just as much as what gets built. That’s why we keep control of the job in-house, with skilled crews and experienced project managers who stay with you from start to finish.
In-house crews – From demolition and concrete to carpentry, we self-perform critical parts of the job. That means fewer subcontractors, tighter timelines, and better quality control.
Dedicated project managers – Every client has two points of contact throughout construction – a dedicated Project Manager and Site Superintendent too. No handoffs. No confusion.
Decades of experience – We’ve handled projects across Mid-Missouri for over 75 years — and we bring that insight to every new build, renovation, or restoration.
Client-first communication – You’ll always know who to talk to and what comes next. We’re builders who listen, not just builders who bid.
Mid-Missouri roots – Our clients don’t need to hire from St. Louis or Kansas City to get top-tier quality. We’re right here — and we get the job done right, on time and within budget.
Whether it’s a fast-track renovation or a complex design-build, our team brings the same commitment to craftsmanship, communication, and lasting results.

Stability, quality craftsmanship, and technical know-how define Prost Builders.
Pride In Our People
Construction is a team sport — and our people are the reason clients keep coming back. We hire for integrity, train for leadership, and support every employee with the resources to grow.
That’s why Legacy, Pride, and Excellence aren’t just our words — they’re theirs.
“To me, Pride means seeing the buildings we’ve worked on and knowing we made a difference.”
— Drew Wilde, Corporate Projects Vice President
