Building Legacies: The Story of Martha’s Vineyard Construction Company

Since its humble beginnings in 1971, Martha’s Vineyard Construction Company (MVCC) has grown into one of the island’s most respected and sought-after building firms. What started with founder Colin Whyte constructing a sturdy trailer to move his own cabin has evolved into a family-run enterprise renowned for its exceptional quality, sophisticated business practices, and unrivaled process management.

A Family Legacy of Excellence

MVCC remains a family-led company, with Hilary at the helm alongside her sister, Alison, and father, Colin Whyte remaining as visionary for the company. This commitment to family values and teamwork drives the company’s dedication to delivering superior craftsmanship on every project. Under the leadership of President Hilary Moore, MVCC has cemented its reputation as the only female-owned and operated construction company on Martha’s Vineyard—a distinction that underscores its commitment to innovation and inclusivity.

Insights from Hilary Moore: Leadership and Vision

Hilary Moore, a trailblazer in the construction industry, has redefined what it means to lead with grace and determination. Her insights shed light on the challenges and triumphs of running a successful construction company:

What motivates you?
Hilary’s journey has been fueled by her drive to excel in an industry where women are underrepresented. She explains:
“Running a construction company that serves a high-net-worth, technically savvy, demanding clientele is hard. Doing it as a 36-year-old woman is even harder. Yet, I approach each day with grace, grit, and integrity.”

Emerging Industry Trends
One of the biggest shifts Hilary has noticed is the growing demand for Tesla battery backup systems as more clients look to move off-grid. MVCC is at the forefront of integrating these innovative solutions into their projects, aligning with modern sustainability trends.

Proudest Accomplishment
Among her many achievements, being named one of Pro Remodeler magazine’s “Top 40 Under 40” stands out. This national recognition reflects her dedication to excellence and is bolstered by glowing reviews from MVCC’s clients—a testament to the company’s enduring impact.
