Construction Management
We make complex construction simple for you
VASE Construction (VASE) is a Construction Management Company specializing in new construction, renovation, and the alteration of existing buildings and infrastructure.
At VASE, we take pride in being more than just a construction management firm. Based in New Haven, CT, and serving clients statewide, we've built strong relationships with design firms, subcontractors, and stakeholders/ clients across the region. As one of Connecticut's leading woman-owned and minority-owned construction management companies, we bring a unique perspective and dedication to every project we undertake.
VASE boasts a dedicated team comprising full-time Project Managers, Project Engineers, Superintendents, and Office staff to execute all Construction Management services. With a proven track record of managerial excellence, technical proficiency, financial stability, and unwavering integrity, VASE is poised to fulfill our Scope of Work faithfully, efficiently, and free from conflicts of interest.
In our role as Construction Manager/ At‐Risk, VASE is committed to not executing any portion of the construction work using our own forces. Instead, we pledge to meticulously develop trade bid packages, facilitate a rigorous solicitation for each established bid package, and engage with contractors to complete the construction work to the highest standards.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of collaborating on a diverse range of construction projects. From housing additions and commercial fit-outs to high-end residential homes and historic renovations, we've demonstrated our versatility and expertise in every endeavor. Our portfolio includes educational facilities, facilities management, new builds, and specialty trades, covering all aspects of the construction industry.
Among the organizations that have entrusted us with their projects are esteemed institutions such as Yale University, Southern Connecticut State University, and Achievement First, along with various municipalities and community organizations across the state (Girl Scouts of America, Town of Lebanon, The Housing Authority of the City of Ansonia, the Housing Authority of the City of New Haven, Operation Hope of Fairfield, The City of Meriden, City of Milford, Norwalk Redevelopment Agency, The Housing Authority of the City of Norwalk, The State of CT Department of Housing, the Hartford Community Loan Fund, Town of Bethany, Town of Branford, Town of Fairfield, Town of Farmington, Town of Granby, Town of Groton, and Town of North Branford, to name a few.)
We're grateful for the opportunity to have made a positive impact on our communities through our work. We invite you to consider VASE Management for your next construction project. Whether it's a small-scale renovation or a large-scale development, we have the resources, experience, and dedication to deliver exceptional results.
Our Approach
Managing construction projects involves coordinating multiple factors and parties, presenting unique challenges. At VASE, we develop a comprehensive checklist and adhere to it meticulously. Utilizing tools like Pipeline Suites, Bluebeam, and RS Means for pre-construction, and the Procore System for project management, we ensure efficient project execution and client satisfaction.
Preconstruction
Phase
VASE initiates pre-construction activities by assembling project management staff and professional services teams. Collaborating closely with clients, we review the Master plan and explore various bidding or pricing options, schedules, and construction timelines. Contact us to learn more.
Construction
Phase
Our full-time Project Managers and Superintendents coordinate contractors, ensuring work expediency and quality control in adherence to contract documents. Utilizing the Procore System, we meticulously track, enforce, and report on work progress, keeping clients informed through comprehensive documentations.
3D Construction Rendering
We create visual representations of architectural designs and construction projects before they are built through our 3D Rendering service. These help clients visualize and understand the design concept with a detailed and realistic view of the final product.
Supplier Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
VASE prioritize the active involvement of local, small, minority, and women-owned businesses within the construction sector. Upholding equal employment opportunities for subcontractors, vendors, and trades workers, we are dedicated to cultivating a diverse workforce that mirrors the communities we serve.
