Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) uses 3D models to visualize and plan all aspects of a construction project, from estimating costs to scheduling and risk management. VDC emphasizes data-driven project collaboration, in which all project stakeholders work together to ensure a project that is on schedule and exactly as expected.
The use of VDC enhances the preconstruction and construction phases by reducing risk and improving quality. The processes incorporated into VDC allow architects, engineers, and contractors to plan designs, budgets, schedules, and more. As digital technology continues to revolutionize all elements of construction, it is important to partner with a team of VDC experts to ensure best practices and efficiency in design, planning, resource management, and sustainability.
Construction sites are seldom static. As such, plans must be adjusted, edited, and redrawn. The use of Vee Technologies’ VDC services allows for the early detection of roadblocks and improves the overall sequence and flow of trades. Our 3D VDC models promote better sequencing, permit for improved management of schedule constraints, enable workflow adjustments, mitigate delays, and ensure productivity. Leveraging model-based design integration management in preconstruction, our team of AEC engineers identifies and resolves design coordination issues, resulting in reduced rework and better outcomes.
Designers’ and consultants' use of VDC in design results in data-rich models and 2D drawings that can be utilized by general contractors. Existing conditions documented in a model can be used in preplanning to avoid costly mistakes and rework. Subcontractors can use BIM models to increase take-off accuracy and provide more accurate bids. And, as 3D models become more prevalent, coordination can directly impact the submittal process using clash detection. As a result, issues are caught long before construction begins. Identifying and addressing inaccuracies within design documentation saves time and money by reducing rework. While the risk of human error plays a constant role in construction workflows, Vee Technologies’ Virtual Design and Construction services allow for regulating procedures, which minimize waste and keep tabs on the progress of construction.
