About Us
Our History:
Airport Construction Specialists
Since 1958, VRH has been the Airport Construction Specialist in the Northeast. Today, this family-owned business is a recognized leader in preconstruction, general construction, construction management, passenger boarding bridge installations, airport concession construction, design build, and alternative delivery services.
With more than 66 years of expertise in the airport construction industry, VRH strives to be the industry leader bringing open communication, professionalism, and leadership to every project. The VRHExperience goes above and beyond to exceed expectations.
VRH built the first-ever modular terminal at the NY/NJ airports for Pan Am in 1986 as a home for their new shuttle operation between LGA-BOS-DCA. The project was completed in 4 months and fortuitously opened just prior to the NY Mets/Boston Red Sox World Series.

VRH built one of the first airlines lounges at JFK, the Eastern Falcon Lounge, which served proudly as a precursor to today's premium clubs & lounges.
VRH is the only company in the Northeast that solely specializes in airport construction serving general aviation, regional & large hub airports.
