Founded in 2009 by Salvatore Valente and Mauro Michele, V&M Immobiliare Srl is a fast-growing company operating across Italy and abroad, with specialized expertise in civil, industrial, infrastructure, and sports construction. Based in the province of Crotone, it has become a model of how experience, adaptability, and strategic thinking can turn a young company into a key player in the public construction sector.

Arch. Valente, what was the original mission behind V&M Immobiliare, and how has your core business evolved over time?
The initial idea was to launch a traditional real estate company focused on the construction and sale of residential properties. However, the economic context of 2009 — marked by a deep financial crisis and a sluggish property market — quickly led us to revise our strategy. We shifted our focus to the public procurement sector, which soon became the driving force behind our growth. It was a bold decision, but a successful one. It allowed us to build strong know-how in the field of public works.
In 2021, during the post-pandemic recovery phase, we seized the significant opportunity of the 110% Superbonus and the incentives for energy efficiency improvements (Sismabonus and Ecobonus), positioning ourselves as a General Contractor. This allowed us to broaden our expertise further — managing projects from design to full implementation of all energy efficiency measures.
However, in 2023, when the regulatory framework around the Ecobonus was significantly reduced, we returned our focus to integrated public tenders. Thanks to our wide network of professionals and partner companies, we now manage both the design — including executive planning — and the construction phases, acting as the single point of contact for public administrations.
In parallel, we’ve also specialized in highly strategic sectors such as sports facilities. Today, V&M Immobiliare is a well-structured and forward-looking company, thanks to targeted investments in advanced technology, human capital, and continuous training.
What projects are you currently working on?
In recent years, we’ve focused heavily on school buildings and sports infrastructure. Key projects include school campuses, athletics tracks, football fields, sports halls, and multifunctional complexes.
We are currently working, through an ATI (Temporary Grouping of Companies), on several school buildings in the province of Crotone, including the redevelopment of the former CONI swimming pool. In Statte, we will soon begin construction on a sports hall for the 2026 Mediterranean Games.
In Reggio Calabria, we are working on a highly symbolic project: the transformation of a sports facility previously confiscated from the ‘Ndrangheta criminal organization.
But what truly motivates us is the deeper meaning of our work. Today, we don’t just build structures — we build opportunities, inclusion, and growth for communities and future generations. Each project is a chance to create sustainable development, social wellbeing, and positive economic impact.
All of this is made possible through strategic partnerships and a network of highly qualified professionals and companies — including many women — reflecting our real commitment to gender equality.
When and why did you decide to integrate BIM into your design and construction processes?
We firmly believe that construction is a constantly evolving sector, and staying up to date is essential. Adopting BIM (Building Information Modeling) came from this mindset: we wanted to implement a digital tool capable of intelligently integrating every phase of the building process, from design to construction. Unlike traditional 2D design methods, BIM uses intelligent 3D models that incorporate not only geometry but also technical, structural, plant, energy, and financial data. In simple terms: every element of a building — from foundations to the final systems — is digitally represented and connected to real-time data. The main advantage is improved collaboration across all stakeholders (we’ve heavily invested in training our team for this): architects, engineers, contractors, clients, and facility managers all work on a shared model, reducing errors, overlaps, delays, and unforeseen problems. BIM enables more efficient, transparent, and digitized project management, allowing us to respond more quickly and accurately to executive design and construction needs.
For us, it is a strategic and essential choice — the cornerstone of a forward-thinking approach to construction.
What technologies are you investing in today to make your construction approach more competitive and innovative?
To successfully manage increasingly complex projects, we are strongly committed to continuous innovation — integrating cutting-edge technologies and tools, including artificial intelligence. Our goal is to improve efficiency in every stage of construction: from planning to full project execution. AI, for example, allows us to analyze large volumes of design data, optimize technical solutions, predict on-site issues, and support strategic decision-making in real time. We are convinced that the future of construction lies in this direction: in a tangible digital transformation that is driven by quality, sustainability, and added value for the client. In short, V&M Immobiliare is now fully aligned with the principles of Construction 4.0 — a sustainable, digital, integrated, and forward-thinking model. This is a vision that cannot ignore process innovation or the use of advanced tools such as BIM, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence — technologies that are already revolutionizing the way we design, build, and manage construction works. It’s a continuous evolution — one that blends efficiency, vision, and responsibility.
