VVA Celebrates 30 Years of Transformative Project Solutions & Unmatched Expertise

VVA Project & Cost Managers is proud to have celebrated our 30th Anniversary in 2024! This incredible journey has been shaped by the support and collaboration of our: clients, partners, friends, family, colleagues, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you. We are proud to have served you for three decades and we look forward to a bright future together.

A pioneering legacy

Founded by Lorenzo Vascotto and Sail Van Nostrand in January 1994, VVA emerged as one of the first independent New York companies specializing in construction Project Management and Owners Representation services. Over the years, we’ve evolved dynamically, consistently staying one step ahead of the curve while expanding our services to address market demands.

“30 years ago, the concept of project management was in its infancy. Quantity Surveying was still exclusively overseas. Today, both are integral components of any successful project. I am proud to say that VVA has helped lead the industry’s development and we have pioneered many of the tools and concepts that are widely used today” noted Vascotto.

“A firm’s success is never the result of just one person’s efforts. VVA has always been fortunate to have a best in class team that has been able to consistently exceed client expectations. This success has built the foundation that has enabled VVA to grow its market sectors and its geographical presence. I have never been more confident that VVA is poised to flourish. As VVA continues to evolve to meet client demands, we are fortunate to have the next generation’s leaders standing by our side, ready to take on new challenges and forge the way forward.”
