At BlueScope Buildings, we hold a deeply passionate belief: Builders are the heart of our business. This philosophy drives everything we do, grounded in an unwavering commitment to those who trust us to deliver solutions, quality, and service that empower their success. Together, we’re creating a legacy of trust, innovation, and excellence—one project, one partnership at a time.
For decades, we have been privileged to stand alongside builders, providing the tools they need to shape the communities and industries they serve. This dedication shines through two of the most respected names in the industry: Butler Manufacturing™ and Varco Pruden Buildings™.
Spending time with builders and understanding their business needs is key. Their deep connections to their communities, the relationships they have formed, and the leadership demonstrated in carrying forward the legacy and responsibility of those who came before are truly remarkable. Their expertise, passion and problem-solving is unwavering, enabling them to envision and deliver exceptional outcomes for their customers. When paired with durable, long-lasting building systems, innovative design and engineering tools, and a focus on sustainability and compliance, builder partnerships become a powerful combination.
A Legacy Built on Trust and Innovation
With roots dating back to 1901 for Butler Manufacturing and 1948 for Varco Pruden Buildings, these brands have been trailblazers in the construction industry, each with a proud legacy of excellence.
Butler, the pioneer of the pre-engineered building industry, has consistently led the way in transforming construction through innovation. From revolutionizing building systems to advancing precision engineering, Butler continues to meet the ever-evolving needs of industries and communities with reliability and assurance.
Varco Pruden, renowned for its custom pre-engineered steel buildings, has redefined collaboration in construction. By working closely with builders, Varco Pruden brings creative freedom and flexibility to each project, ensuring every unique vision is fully realized with purposeful impact.
While Butler and Varco Pruden maintain their distinct identities, they are united by one powerful belief: Builders are at the core of everything they do. This shared value ties these brands together under BlueScope Buildings, driving our unwavering commitment to serving builders with the best possible solutions.
Independent, Competitive, and Unique
We believe in the importance of honoring the unique spirits and cultures that have shaped both Butler and Varco Pruden. This is why each brand operates independently, ensuring their continued competitiveness and agility in addressing the diverse needs of the builders who rely on them.
This autonomy allows both brands to preserve the values and strengths that have shaped their history and defined their success, while continuing to innovate and evolve in their respective markets.
In today’s fast-paced industry, investing in Butler and Varco Pruden is crucial to maintaining leadership and relevance. We recognize that past success doesn’t guarantee future results, which is why we’re focused on investing more in our brand platforms, pushing the boundaries of innovation, embracing emerging technologies, and refining our service offerings to meet the evolving needs of builders and their customers. The goal? To ensure that Butler and Varco Pruden can uniquely play, win, and realize their full potential.
Our Commitment to Service Excellence
As we look toward 2025, our number one priority is delivering exceptional service to our builders. We are strengthening the platforms that support both Butler Manufacturing and Varco Pruden, enhancing our ability to respond quickly and effectively to the needs of builders and their projects.
Success isn’t just about delivering high-quality products; it’s about ensuring our builders have reliable, efficient support at every stage of the project lifecycle. From faster response times to streamlined processes and enhanced management tools, we’re dedicated to providing a seamless experience.
At BlueScope Buildings, our builders’ success is our success. We are committed to continuous improvement to help them deliver exceptional outcomes for their customers.
Looking Ahead: Together, We Build the Future
At BlueScope Buildings, we believe the future of construction lies in collaboration, innovation, and a focus on quality and safety. By listening to our builders and building lasting relationships with great people, we aim to shape a stronger, brighter future together.
