VDC (Virtual Design and Construction)

Overview

VDC stands for virtual design and construction, and is literally exactly what it says. Historically, lots of time and money has been spent solving problems post fabrication, in the field. VDC is the answer to that problem.

This means of coordination is widely accepted in the construction industry, and has become the baseline in high-end construction applications, whether the built space is new or renovated or restored. Observation suggests this will be the norm in construction in just a few years.

Benefits of VDC

Earlier project scheduling capabilities
Reduce rework
Clash detection
Proactive safety planning
Cultivate communication and coordination across multiple disciplines
Design, feasibility and sustainability analytics
Common data environment
Pre-construction project visualization

How we engage

On behalf of subcontractors: Leverage PMC’s strong modeling capabilities to submit coordinated 3D changes in accordance with BIM standards and execution plans.

On behalf of general contractors and construction managers: PMC will produce, present and manage issue reports at regularly scheduled coordination meetings.

On behalf of owners and developers: PMC demands transparency and communication during the construction process. Accurate virtual deliverables at facility commissioning is the key to success in management and operations.
