WHERE DID VCDC STEM FROM? HOW DID IT BEGIN? Victor: Honestly, I can’t say that I “came up” with the idea of VCDC (Victor Consunji Development Corporation). VCDC is a company that grew organically from its earlier iteration as a small construction firm. As a construction firm, we were lucky enough to experience first hand the difficulties that our Clients experienced in executing their own projects, particularly homes. Those difficulties included the sheer learning curve our Clients would experience when involved in conceptualizing, planning, and executing their home. In many of those builds, the result of the project would fall short of the expectation of our Clients. Not due to failure of the construction or the design, but simply a misunderstanding, or a mismatch of expectation vs reality.

WHAT DOES LEGACY MEAN TO YOU?
Victor: In today’s day and age, a legacy seems so fleeting, so easily forgotten, or so easily devalued, despite the hard work that has been exerted.

I think that Legacy is more about character, and who’s lives it was that mattered most to you. It’s about enriching lives, and being of good character, fair and kind. A legacy isn’t something you manufacture over social media, or post about, it’s an honor bestowed upon you by the people closest to you and society in general.
quality, budget, schedule, or just overall usability. And partial or complete disappointment would be inevitable. What if there was a better way? VCDC adapted from a construction company that gave our Clients what they literally asked for, to a robust developer that gives our Clients what they truly need. We adapted to remove the uncertainty in quality, budget, and scheduling. We create spaces that are generous as they are useful. We aimed to create a curated home that was generated out of years of experience, and personal practicality. This is how the idea behind VCDC came about. A promise to create a home of quality. Quality of build and quality of life, now and in the future.
