Hard to believe it’s 2026 already! While VK Civil had a busy 2025, we were able to take some time in December to celebrate with our clients and our team. The annual municipal client lunch was a fantastic time for us to connect with the area communities that we serve while enjoying a meal. Additionally, the VK team spent an evening on a friendly gingerbread building competition. Three of Nate Vriesman’s children were our guest judges, deciding who earned the first, second, and third place creations. Each team told the story of their creation, vying for the judges to pick their team with a variety of methods, from bribes (who doesn’t love a candy cane) to current events (6-7!!) to creative youthful narratives.

We are thankful to all of our clients and team members who made 2025 such an amazing year, and we look forward to what 2026 will bring.
