Our extensive state and local government work, which spans 17 states and more than 3,000 projects, includes facilities that not only provide high-quality public services, but enhance entire communities.

Vanir understands how public funding sources work. There’s usually timelines and hoops to jump through to make sure the Owner stays on track to get that funding. It’s a very complicated process. We have people that have been through the state process, the school process and the healthcare process. When owners hire Vanir, they’re hiring us not just for our firm experience, but for the specific person we’re putting on that project that has the kind of experience the Owner needs.

Bob Fletcher, Senior Vice President of Business Development

State and Local Buildings

From cities and counties to special districts, Vanir has worked with more than 80 state and local municipalities to ensure that their bond and construction programs and projects are expertly implemented. Our experienced team of professionals always represents the Owner – providing peace of mind and enabling you to focus on your core business practices while we protect your interests. A number of our team members have also joined Vanir from municipal agencies, which gives us a unique understanding of agency goals, objectives and operations.

I was extremely happy with the services provided by Vanir. The expertise, depth of knowledge, due diligence and professionalism contributed to the successful completion of the beautiful new Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library for the North Long Beach community. I was really impressed with (your) staff’s ability to foresee potential problems and also provide innovative solutions. The management, planning and logistical tools utilized by (your) team produced a state-of-the-art facility on time and under budget.

We understand the unique components associated with construction projects conducted on sovereign land (versus those completed off the reservation).
