Leading members of the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry have begun championing the adoption of a Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) approach to projects—a change that is slowly but dramatically transforming the way projects are completed. VDC describes the process through which a design and construction team collaboratively simulates every step of a construction project before beginning work on the actual job site. It’s a shift as dramatic as the industry once made from pen-and- paper blueprints to CAD drawings, but one that brings widespread efficiency and quality improvements across all aspects of a project.
VDC begins with the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions, but goes well beyond the adoption of new technology. Its focus is on data-driven project collaboration, where all members of the project communicate to produce a project that is on time, on schedule, and exactly as the owner expects it.
VDC allows project members to work in a common language, where all necessary information is transparent and instantly available. Challenges are solved proactively and cooperatively. Innovation is made possible by leveraging all team members’ strengths and exploring creative solutions.
