Alternative delivery is becoming a preferred method of project delivery to accelerate schedule, reduce cost, and increase collaboration.

Over the past two decades, VHB has become a trusted leader in executing complex DB projects. Our extensive portfolio includes high-profile roadway, bridge, transit, and rail improvement DB projects along the East Coast. By delivering high-quality, innovative, and timely design and construction services, we significantly contribute to the success of every project we undertake.
