What We Offer Under VDC
Our VDC services are tailored to support every stage of construction planning and execution. From pre-construction modeling to on-site sequencing and post-construction asset management, our offerings include:
Visualize the construction sequence over time by linking the schedule to a 3D model, helping teams plan logistics and site activities.
Automate quantity takeoffs and create accurate cost forecasts using BIM-based data.
Identify and resolve spatial and system conflicts between architectural, structural, and MEP elements before they reach site.
Ensure that models evolve in detail and accuracy according to project phase—from LOD 100 to LOD 500.
Plan safety zones, optimize material flow, and simulate site logistics for safer and more efficient operations.
Set up a live digital model that mirrors the physical asset for operation and maintenance beyond handover.
Integrate collaborative platforms like Autodesk BIM 360, Trimble Connect, or Revizto to centralize data access and version control.
Our VDC Pipeline
VDC isn’t just a tool—it’s a structured workflow. Here’s how we integrate it into your project delivery:
Input Setup
We begin by collecting your BIM models, project schedule (Primavera/MSP), and Bill of Quantities (BOQ).
Model Cleanup & Structuring
Our experts validate geometry, classify components, and ensure consistency across disciplines.
4D Linkage
Project timelines and activities are connected to model elements to simulate construction progress.
5D Cost Modeling
We add quantities and cost data into the model for real-time budget forecasting and control.
Clash & Site Analysis
Using simulations and clash detection, we ensure constructability, safety planning, and logistics alignment.
Visual Outputs & Reporting
Deliverables include animated 4D/5D videos, dashboards, and detailed reports to support stakeholder reviews.
Tools and Technologies We Use
To ensure precision and scalability, we leverage a comprehensive suite of industry-standard tools:
- BIM Modeling: Revit, ArchiCAD, Navisworks
- Scheduling: Primavera P6, Microsoft Project
- Simulation: Synchro 4D, Navisworks Timeliner
- Cost Estimation: CostX, Revit Quantification
- Collaboration: Autodesk BIM 360, Trimble Connect, Revizto
- Visualization: Enscape, Twinmotion for dynamic presentations

Need help?
In this section, you can address common questions efficiently.
How do you price VDC service packages?
Pricing depends on model complexity, project scale, LOD stage, and whether services are bundled or taken individually—quotes are project-specific.
Can you work with existing BIM models?
Yes. We can clean, structure, and optimize your provided models to align with scheduling, cost, or clash detection needs.
What’s needed to start a VDC engagement?
We typically need your BIM model (if available), project schedule (MSP/Primavera), BOQ, and design scope to begin setup.
How long does a VDC setup take?
Depends on project size—basic setup may take 3–7 days, full simulations with reports and dashboards may take longer.
Do you support live coordination with teams?
Yes. We conduct review meetings, live walk-throughs, and model-based coordination via BIM 360, Zoom, or your preferred platform.
Can your team handle international project standards?
Absolutely. We work with global clients and follow region-specific BIM standards like ISO 19650, UK BIM, and AIA protocols.
