Listening, understanding, responding. Your ideas, our passion.

Thirty-one years ago VAA began serving the architectural community through civil and structural engineering services.   We've grown as our clients have grown. Our success is built on the foundation of listening to and understanding your business and challenges.  To continue this success, we have expanded our leadership by adding architectural professionals.

As appropriate, VAA works with architectural partners, VAA providing the specialty knowledge, our architectural partner providing and the critical mass and architectural design to meet our clients' needs.

With over 60 years of professional experience, we are specialists in this project type. We understand the critical aspects of planning and design: adherence to the program, life safety/ code issues, cost and constructability, public agency cooperation and approvals, design sensitivity, sustainability, and long term operational and maintenance impact.

A critical component of our relationships is communication. Our experience and ability to deliver coupled with communication brings clients back.  We listen. We listen to the client, the site, the environment, and the economics. We value the dialogues and challenges. Excellence and success comes out of active, involved and passionate interaction. Discovery, exploring opportunities and options, asking questions... listening, all involved have a voice... taking it all in, understanding, responding, delivering.

From inception through implementation and completion we listen, respond and deliver.
