Day-to-day project management requires experience, agility, and strength, so we prioritize investing in our people and treating them like family. Construction work is too dangerous to cut corners or tolerate less than 100%, after all, people’s safety is at stake. This idea extends beyond just our employees to our subcontractors and network of on-the-ground experts we partner with every day in the tri-state area.
We only work with the best so you can too.

The Veros lead by example
Frank Vero Sr. founded Aurora in 1983 to build things properly with integrity and respect for everyone around him.

Culture
Family and Enthusiasm are among our core values
Construction work is tough and always requires 100% accuracy to stay safe and attain excellence.
