Vertical transportation consulting and inspection services across North America
VDA is a specialty engineering consulting firm focused on elevators, escalators, and related vertical transportation systems. The tech stack reflects a project-delivery-centric operation: Salesforce for CRM, M-Files for document management, Procore and Bluebeam for construction workflows, Revit and AutoCAD for design. Hiring velocity is accelerating with focus on engineering and operations roles, while internal projects around direct billing, vendor programs, and inspection scheduling suggest operational scaling rather than product innovation.
VDA provides end-to-end consulting and inspection services for vertical transportation systems—elevators, escalators, moving walks, and lift systems—across new construction and retrofit projects. Founded in 1980, the firm has completed over 43,000 projects and operates from more than 35 offices across North America, including Canada. The client base spans developers, architects, and building owners requiring compliance expertise and design engineering. Pain points include client satisfaction, sales growth, and scaling a façade access division while maintaining safety compliance.
VDA uses Procore and Bluebeam for construction project workflows, M-Files for document management, Salesforce for client relationship management, and Revit and AutoCAD for design and engineering work.
VDA is headquartered in East Hanover, New Jersey, with over 35 offices across North America including Canada.
