Virtual Design and Construction
Building Smarter Through Technology
Constructing with insight
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is the process of creating a detailed digital model of
a building before construction begins. This model includes every major component—from
the structure and finishes to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems—allowing
architects, engineers and contractors to plan and coordinate together in one shared
environment. The result is fewer surprises during construction, smoother teamwork and a
more efficient project overall.
Virtual Design and Construction Capabilities
Integrated Design Management
Integrated Design Management
Integrated Design Management (IDM) brings clients, designers, engineers and contractors together early to align people, technology and process—driving better, more unified project outcomes.
VDC Software and Platforms
VDC Software and Platforms
Our Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team integrates Autodesk, Procore, ACC, RCS and other platforms into one seamless ecosystem, streamlining design, construction and operations for maximum efficiency.
Reality Capture
Reality Capture
By combining 360° imagery, drone data and laser scanning, Reality Capture delivers accurate digital representations that improve decision-making across planning, design, surveying and construction.
4D + 5D + nD
4D + 5D + nD
4D, 5D and nD integrates time, cost and additional project data layers into a single visual model—allowing teams to simulate real-world conditions, forecast outcomes and make proactive decisions that drive efficiency and predictability throughout every phase of construction.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) brings every detail of a project to life before construction begins, enhancing collaboration, reducing costly errors and improving efficiency throughout a project’s entire lifecycle.
Augmented (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
Augmented (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
Augmented and virtual reality tools bring designs into focus by blending digital models with real-world environments and immersive experiences, helping stakeholders visualize how spaces will look, function and flow before construction begins.
