A Message from the President
Our Journey from Vision to Impact in Engineering
Naventiam Design is a proud member of the Veridus Group Inc. family.

In 2017, the company further grew to offer community development services as well.
As Veridus Group, Inc. grew and our expertise expanded, 2024 marked the evolution of Naventiam Design as our dedicated civil/site engineering brand. Though our name has evolved, our commitment to building strong relationships and leveraging our team's unmatched experience remains the same.
