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.

Building and Site Laser Scanning
From simple to complex, laser scanning and other reality capture techniques are the fastest way to capture existing conditions.
Drone & UAS Services
PMC uses professional-grade drones with the latest capture technologies to deliver the highest quality deliverables in the industry. With optional RTK control, you can have point clouds derived from 2D photos that rival data of conventional laser scanners.
Digital Twins
Virtual representation of an asset, building or environment that not only represents the geometry but the interactions, process and systems that allow it to function.
