Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Overview

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a cutting-edge approach that leverages Building Information Modeling (BIM) to optimize the management of design and construction processes.<br><br>The concept of VDC was initially introduced by the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) at Stanford University of California in 2001, with Professor Martin Fischer, the Director of CIFE, playing a pivotal role in its promotion.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Virtual Design & Construction

  2. What is Virtual Design & Construction (VDC)? Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a process that uses digital models and simulations to create a virtual representation of a building project. This virtual model can be used to improve the design, planning, and construction of the project.

  3. Benefits of VDC • VDC offers a number of benefits, including: Improved communication and collaboration between stakeholders Reduced errors and omissions Enhanced constructability and efficiency Reduced costs and schedule overruns Improved quality and safety

  4. How does VDC work? VDC is a collaborative process that involves all stakeholders, including the owner, architect, engineer, contractor, and subcontractors. The process begins with the creation of a 3D model of the building. This model is then used to generate simulations and analyses that can be used to improve the design, planning, and construction of the project.

  5. VDC technologies • A variety of technologies are used in VDC, including Building information modeling (BIM) Virtual reality (VR) Augmented reality (AR) 4D scheduling 5D cost estimation 6D sustainability analysis 7D facility management

  6. Examples of VDC in use VDC is being used on a variety of projects around the world, including The new San Francisco International Airport The new World Trade Center Transportation Hub The new London Bridge Station The new Sydney Metro project

  7. Conclusion VDC is a powerful tool that can be used to improve the design, planning, and construction of building projects. VDC offers a number of benefits, including improved communication and collaboration, reduced errors and omissions, enhanced constructability and efficiency, reduced costs and schedule overruns, and improved quality and safety.
