Alternative Delivery

Flexibility. Benefits. Results.

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

In today's evolving infrastructure landscape, an increasing number of clients and project owners are turning to alternative delivery methods, with design-build (DB) leading the way for both large- and small-scale projects. 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.
