Virtual Design & Construction (VDC)
We fully integrate VDC and BIM into all of our projects; “build it before we build it” is part of our standard project lifecycle.

Early Engagement, Integrated Results
We operate as an extension of design and construction teams, collaborating alongside A/E modelers and understanding the general contractor’s BIM Execution Plan. The models we create improve efficiency, quality, and workflows. We work in a centralized platform with all project team members to streamline coordination and communication.
Details Matter – Quality Drawings Improve Onsite Execution
Our detailed shop drawings are created with a keen understanding of what it actually takes to install the systems we model. They provide applicable information to our colleagues to help them achieve schedule, quality, and budget goals. Working behind the scenes as a fully integrated team, our VDC teams, fabrication shop, and field partners positively impact projects.
Using AR and VR to our Advantage
By leveraging tech, we help visualize design ideas and construction progress in great detail. We create “virtual tours” that can be viewed side-by-side with the model, with comparative views to identify issues and opportunities. Augmented reality devices overlay digital content with reality to validate routing and clearances before ever encountering an issue during construction.
On the Forefront
We use the latest technology and methods to provide as-builts, design models, and 3D layout coordination:
- Autodesk Construction Cloud
- Revit
- Dynamo
- Navisworks
- Trimble
- 3D Point Cloud Scanners
- HoloLens
- AutoCAD
- BIM Track
- Revitzo
- Open Space
