V.J. Scozzari & Sons, Inc. was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1984.  Vincent J. Scozzari, Sr., President, had for the previous 35 years been the president of Scozzari Construction Company.  He specialized in institutional, commercial and industrial construction.  He constructed and managed numerous projects throughout Mercer, Hunterdon, Ocean, Middlesex, Monmouth Counties and Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  His name is a respected one in the construction industry, throughout Central New Jersey.  Some of his work has been featured in national publications such as Architectural Record, as well as, other trade publications. We are not able to list all of the projects that Vincent J. Scozzari, Sr. has completed, the quality and magnitude of his contracting experience is extensive.

 

In 1984 Vincent J. Scozzari, Jr. and Gregory Scozzari joined with Vincent J. Scozzari, Sr. to form V.J. Scozzari & Sons, Inc.  Both Vincent and Greg graduated from The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.  Vincent went on to graduate from Northeastern University in Boston.  While in Boston, he also attended Weintworth Institute of Technology for a formal education in Construction Technologies.  Gregory graduated in 1985 from Rider College in Lawrenceville, New Jersey with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Commerce.

 

In 1994, Richard A. Alito joined the firm initially as a Project Superintendent, then as a Project Manager and since 2002 as the firm’s Vice President of Construction.  Alito’s 30 year background in construction commenced at Princeton University – Civil Engineering Department in 1980.

 

In 2005, John Ehling joined the firm in the estimating department. John has been employed in the construction Industry since 1990. A graduate of Spring Garden College, John became a Senior Estimator and is now the Company's Vice President of Estimating. John is heavily committed to Pre-Construction Services including oversight of all estimating functions.

 

Since the inception of this Corporation, the firm has constructed and managed a wide variety of commercial, retail, financial, industrial, institutional, and healthcare projects of both public and private ownership.  These projects have ranged from new facilities, to the retrofit of buildings, to tenant fit-out work, complete renovations, historical restorations as well as warehouses, distribution centers, recreational facilities, sports complexes, office buildings, financial institutions, municipal complexes and site development.

 

The operations of the Firm include Construction Management, General Construction, and Design/Build Services.  Because of our expertise, we can offer our clients the convenience of handling their projects from conception through completion, handling every detail required or participating in any manner that the Owner deems appropriate.

Achievements in Design, Construction, and Management have been a factor in the success of the organization. The firm's history dates back to 1940 when Nicolo Scozzari first came to this country and began work as a stone mason.
