The Home Depot is introducing new tools, resources, and dedicated support to help Pros simplify and build their businesses, hire talent and work faster.
For Vibe Construction Group, what began as a small remodeling business has grown into a thriving company handling luxury builds and commercial projects across Georgia and Florida. Since 2021, co-founders Lucas da Mota and Thiago Pereira have scaled their business with the help of a key partner: The Home Depot.
"The fact that pretty much everything we could possibly need is all under one roof is pretty amazing."
— Thiago Pereira, Co-Founder of Vibe Construction Group
A Partnership Built for Growth
As the business shifted from fix-and-flips to custom luxury homes, their needs evolved. They went from buying small amounts of materials in store to ordering in bulk for larger projects. The Home Depot adapted with them every step of the way.
- Financial Flexibility: "With the larger projects and more volume, cash flow was always something we had to think about," da Mota explains. The flexibility of trade credit eased that burden, allowing them to manage multiple projects at once. Now, each job has its own dedicated project line to keep operations smooth.
- The Power of Support: A dedicated outside sales representative (OSR) has been key to their growth. Acting as a single point of contact, their OSR provides them with tailored solutions, from sourcing specialty items to connecting them with vendors, offering personalized support that addresses their unique needs.
Tools That Make a Difference
The Home Depot has become more than a supplier; it’s part of Vibe Construction’s workflow. With project planning resources and AI-powered solutions that accelerate cycle times like Material List Builder and blueprint takeoffs, managing jobs has never been easier.
"The Projects tab on The Home Depot dashboard has been instrumental for our operations," notes Pereira. It simplifies everything from approving quotes to managing orders, saving time and improving efficiency. With such deep integration, The Home Depot feels like an extension of their team. "Having a partner that is there with you, no matter what, is priceless,” Pereira adds.
Looking to the Future
As they look ahead, the Vibe Construction team sees challenges and opportunities in the industry. The rising costs of materials and labor, combined with a shortage of skilled workers, are putting pressure on housing affordability. They believe that fostering strong supplier relationships and leveraging smart technology will be key to navigating these hurdles.
