Columbia, Missouri - Better Business Bureau Columbia has recognized Prost Builders, Inc. with the prestigious 2025 BBB Torch Award for Ethics, honoring the company's commitment to trust and excellence in the construction industry.
The award recognizes businesses and organizations that meet the highest standard of integrity and ethical business practices. Prost Builders, family-owned for over 76 years, was selected alongside two other Missouri businesses for this distinction.
Prost Builders provides commercial construction, design-build, construction management, and historic restoration services across central Missouri. Prost Builders provides commercial construction and design-build services, serving clients throughout the region - including Columbia, Jefferson City, and surrounding areas. With 20+ employees bringing over 300 years of combined construction experience, Prost is an employee-owned firm where every team member has a personal stake in project success.
"This honor reflects what we've built over 76 years: a culture where honesty and accountability come first, where we do what's right even when no one's watching. In an industry where clients bet their budgets and schedules on us, we know that trust isn't something we earn once - it's something we earn every single day with every decision we make. This award belongs to our team, whose commitment to doing things the right way makes it possible," said Vaughn Prost, President and Professional Engineer.
Khesha Duncan, Regional Director for BBB Columbia, noted the significance of the recognition. "This year's awards go to three highly deserving local businesses," Duncan said. "BBB is honored to play a key role in raising the standards for ethics in our marketplace, and part of that is recognizing the companies who are making a difference in our community."
The BBB Torch Award for Ethics recognizes businesses that demonstrate outstanding integrity, ethical business practices, and trust within their communities. Award recipients are evaluated on the "four C's": the character of their leadership, how they foster an authentic culture, their transparent relationship with customers, and their impact in the local community.
Prost Builders embodies these standards through employee ownership that aligns every team member's interests with project success, transparent communication with clients on budgets and schedules, quality control through self-performed work rather than subcontracting everything out, and a 76-year track record of serving educational institutions, government agencies, and community organizations across central Missouri.
