Check out this video about how our company came to be and thrive. The VK Civil team provides civil engineering for private and public clients. We understand that the infrastructure we design is foundational to the quality of life enjoyed within a community. We bring a diverse range of professional skills and practical perspective to each and every client we work with.
VK Civil is proud to have sponsored a Western Michigan University Civil Engineering Senior Design Team in their Capstone Project! The team’s project involved a site design of the Northwest Cancer Center proposed in Northern Indiana. They learned real world engineering practices and professional skills that they will use as they enter the workforce. The students did a fantastic job with their presentation. Congratulations Nolan, Alex, and Hussain. We wish you the best as you head toward graduation!

Merry (Early) Christmas! Hope you enjoy the pictures from the event. Vic and Vikky of Lavender Life Farms were magnificent hosts.
VK Civil was a platinum sponsor of the 2023 AIA (American Institute of Architects) Northern Indiana Golf Outing in South Bend Indiana. The weather was perfect for an afternoon of camaraderie and friendly competition on the golf course. At the VK Civil hole, players had the opportunity to roll a giant die for some fun prizes, while also competing to be the one closest to the pin. The event was a platform for fostering connections, building relationships, and strengthening the bonds of the Northern Indiana AIA community. Participants had the chance to interact with industry leaders, exchange ideas, and [...]
June 2 was the grand opening of the splash pad at Caledonia’s Community Green Park. Bringing the community together in celebration, marking the beginning of a summer filled with laughter and cherished moments for all who visit. VK Civil was delighted to partner with EV Construction to add the splash pad to the park’s array of recreational offerings. This intentionally low-key design was built to fit within a natural park setting and the inclusive space allows residents of all ages to beat the summer heat while fostering community bonding and well-being. Plan your visit to the splash pad at [...]

The private development team also includes engineers Colin Finch, Zach Boeve, Aaron Van Proyen, and Dan Lewis as well [...]
In 2022 there were 10,500 kids served in Michigan's foster care service, and only 5000 licensed foster homes.

Local adoptive and foster parents need support as they struggle to meet the complex needs created by the grief, loss, and trauma experienced by the children in their care. Lack of support leads to family distress and disrupted placements, ultimately hurting both families and children. Last month, VK Civil partnered with Replanted Grand Rapids to fill the support gap and [...]
